Great sky. I know it's halo 4 but it looks nice. Does it come with environment geometry?

Also is there already a way to extract models with LOD permutations or is that on the list of things to add?

LOD has not been looked into at all.

Halo 4 skyboxes don't include any environment geometry.

I'm sure if gravemind knows anything about the model format, lods are not hard to find.

Yeah, cus LOD's are not auto-generated in Halo Reach/Halo 4 or anything and is not actually a model the game has stored any where or anything like that at all.

How about you figure out what you are talking about before you go bashing on Gravemind.

I don't see any bashing. I never said I didn't want Halo 3's lod models either. Halo 4 is bad.

Thanks for your sarcastic post though.

Sorry, was in a bad mood the other morning when I posted that and just assumed it was bashing (if he knew anything about the format it would be easy to find is what I got) :p again, my apologies. We were talking about h4 (yes?) so I did not realize you ment h3?

Well Adjutant is the only good application that supports Halo 3 Bitmap/Model Extraction. And if it's common knowledge that both Halo reach and Halo 4 don't have cached LODS then wouldn't it be apparent that I'm talking about Halo 3?

You interjected into a conversation about Halo 4 skyboxes? Idk, try and be more clear next time.

Alright, knock it off, both of you. Less yap, more content.

Dat Sky. do want

Weird thing happened today... I went to open Adjutant and it keeps crashing. It worked fine yesterday but today I keep getting the Adjutant has stopped working error. Any tips would be appreciated

Try a fresh install. I'm having no issues.

Is it possible to extract the skybox textures?

I've never seen them when browsing the map files, so I wasn't sure.

EDIT: Found them. But they aren't saved to a single image file per skybox. I don't suppose the actual skybox/sphere geometry is extractable, is it?

EDIT 2:

Also, i see that most of the bitmaps under levels>multi>dlc>dlc_slayer>dlc_slayer_space_sky_angled>bitmaps are busted, despite the equivalents in other map files working fine.

Or I assume they are equivalents, as the name is the same, Can't tell because I can't open em.

Additionally, I can't find anything for the cutscene before the credits where the PoA is approaching installation 04.

Lastly, is there a list of which map file equals what level?

EDIT 3: One more thing: Is the texture for the holograph of reach in the corvette extractable? I can't find it.
Edited by jabberwockxeno on Jun 2, 2013 at 05:59 PM

Sky boxes are extractable, for m45 in reach the path is levels-solo-m45-sky_XXX

xxx= the name of one of the 8 sky boxes on that map.

If you are extracting something from Anchor 9, might as well get it from m45 saying as most if not all of its assets are from that mission, though I am not having any problems loading the bitmaps you are apparently having problems with.

The "m45_corvette_holo_globe" (the one that is of reach on the bridge of the corvette) is in levels-solo-m45-m45_corvette_holo_globe

What do you mean by "I can't find anything for the cutscene before the credits where the PoA is approaching installation 04." exactly?

Since Adjutant's main thread got blocked, I'm trying to find a way to onctact Gravemind.

Will it ever be possible to extract scenery/environnement objects such as some rocks and trees (most of them) in halo reach ?
Adjutant says vertex type unsupported...

wall I dont care if they are riiged or not, all I want is the model since I rerig/rescale everything from scratch. I'll send him a PM

Those models are pretty simple, you could try to make them your self? There are trees on a few maps that are extractable already and you can also get the rocks that are on the forge list, so there is not any real value in putting time into researching a way to extract them...

Depends on how you look at it. Some modular scenery objects are rather nice but not in the forge list.

Maybe I have many other things to do and it would help ? and no, it's not so easy to do such a good quality, but if you can I'd gladly look at how you do.

Gee, maybe other people have other things to do too and don't want to waste time?

What is it you are needing exactly? Perhaps I can come up with something.

I think Altheros might have returned.

Going to kick this with a major bump:

Does anybody know where I can find the Firefight dialogue in any of the ODST map files? I'm able to find the regular campaign dialogue but not the Firefight lines - or am I missing something?

I'll have another look, but as I said, most of what I was able to find was campaign dialogue.

Aren't they used in Firefight as well?

Have you tried compatibility mode at all?

It might just a problem with your PC. Not the OS (operating system) or the program.

I run Win7 and have had very few issues with Adjutant that weren't of my own doing.

Refer to the FAQ - ensure you're running the relevant .NET framework, ensure you have ToWAV, and if everything else fails, get a fresh copy of Adjutant.

Failing that, the issue is with your computer, not Adjutant. It could well be you have some program conflicts.

As I said, it's likely to be your computer rather than Adjutant itself. I run it fine and nobody else is having any issue with it.

Do you have any specific error codes? Any more information I can use to see what the issue is? Failing that, try a complete clean-up of your PC, back to the bare bones - often it's a bad update or a conflicting program, as I said.

You're using ToWav, and it's in the right location? Other than that I have zero clue.

Ok so here's something, I've been playing around with trying to export the OBJ data from the Raw Extractor for the Storm_Masterchief_MP.mode file. But for example on the EOD Helmet I get a Wavefront Parse Error on Line 5239, on the Pilot Helmet Line 3777. I can also access the Storm_Masterchief_MP with my 3D program but I get a Line 305919 error with it.

So is there something there or a way to correct it to finally be able to open these? Is Gravemind planning to correct the problem with this Storm_Masterchief_MP file or the others? I know it's a challenge and I wish I had hex knowledge, but it's too advanced for me. Also I've tried selecting a group of files in the raw extractor such as the armor_head group, and I've tried extracting just it but in Adjutant I get a error line of code is too long or something like that.

Multiplayer armour assets are a known issue - as I'm aware, it's an issue either with:

A) source indexing
B) actual file location referencing

Either way, it's something that's being looked into. I can't guarantee that it's something that'll be sorted quickly, but people are on the case. I'll be sure to keep you informed if there's any breakthrough.

Thanks I was hoping instead of trying to extract the entire Master Chief MP file that I could use the raw extractor to get the parts individually (with the possibility of making that work) but that did'nt work as planned. Still it's odd I can get all the Reach models from the Spartan Ops (Chopperbowl) Map, and all the Elites in the AI file, but it's just this one that's acting up. I'll be watching though for a solution whenever it comes around. I'm a pretty patient person.

With some jiggery-pokery, the files are extractable, but the meshes are extremely garbled - so much so that it's essentially a spaghetti mess of vertices and faces. As I said, I'll be sure to keep you in the loop.

Yeah, the campaign combat dialogue is used for firefight as well. It's the same for Reach but I had no problem extracting the firefight dialogue from it unlike waffles. If you're looking for specific character dialogue, I think the folder names matched up to these:

Dutch = marine6
Mickey = marine2
Romeo = marine3
Buck = sarge2

The others are pretty self-explanatory.

Aye, I know where the Announcer dialogue is (found the dialogue in all the available alternate languages, too), but it's the player dialogue I'm interested in.

Once I'm not so burdened with stuff I'll take a proper look - I'm prepping for a holiday to the states, and my father thought it would be a great idea to go shattering his left leg on a trip through an unstable roof.

Wouldn't you need to able to extract them to get the errors in the first place?
