Been pretty busy these days but I was going to try my hand at making that CE map I was always thinking about making back in the day lol..

I was hoping to get some halo 2 assets for it though, and after looking around for 2 days I can't seem to find any that work... Do you guys have any tools that can nab stuff from h2 that still work and can extract sounds, models, and bsp's properly?

here R some halo 2 tags that work http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=6440 did that help ?

If you flip through the pages of the weapons, bipeds, and vehicles tabs near the lower-left of the page, there are several Halo 2 tags to be found. What, specifically, are you searching for?

Hey, thanks guys, what I am mainly looking for is a bsp/sound tag extractor. I found a few on the net, but none of them seems to work.

I don't know about BSP/sound extractors. There are a couple of Halo 2 BSPs available on Halomaps, though: Zanzibar, Coagulation, the city level that was shown in the E3 demo, things of that nature.

ADI is probably the best for extracting sounds.

Entity for everything else.

Thanks for posting links, though I am still having issues. ADI can extract models, but it looks like the UV went threw a blinder and won't do anything with BSP's other than toss overflow errors or say the map is open in another application (which it is not). Sounds also just extract as empty wmv or wav files...

As for Entity, I can't make it do anything other than open the map files.

The only app that I have had any success with is Dark Matter, with that I can extract only parts of BSP's and some models and bitmaps. Most models have UV errors and the bitmaps are sometimes not valid.

I have all the maps in the same folder so I know that is not the issue.

Any help on that?

I can't help you because I have no idea what you are talking about.
Be specific and list the steps you go through to extract a bsp model.

lol.

Step 1: Double click on ADI icon

Step 2: Click on "File"

Step 3: Click on "Open"

Step 4: Navigate to folder containing Halo 2's multi-player maps (including DLC maps, mainmenu.map, shared.map, and single_player_shared.map) *Note, no single-player maps are in this foler

Step 5: Click on and open "dune.map"

Step 6: Scroll down to and expand "[sbsp]"

Step 7: Click on "scenarios\multi\dune\dune"

--This is where I get an error--
"Unhandled exception" "Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow."

Step 8: Click Continue

Step 9: Click on "ModelLib" (can't click on anything/everything is grayed out)

Is that through and specific enough?
