I just used the program today and I can't tell you guys how much I love you guys right now. :)

I can't wait to see what is in stored for us in the next update! Awesome work. Please don't give up on this program. Can't wait until we could extract everything perfectly.

^That.



Thanks for the support! May be a while before there is another major update though saying as Halo 4 shaders are so wac lol. If you run into any problems be sure to post them here so we can address them.

tbh i would go far enough to say that the only 2 things that are keeping this app from being perfect is H4's sound extraction and getting the "Champions extractor" in there.

The "foundation" would be Alteration, built by Anthony and Detox. From there is where I learned almost everything I know about how the Halo maps work, and they deserve that credit. Legendary is also an overstatement.

The ASM team is also pretty happy about the improvements to ADJ, parts of it may even start showing up in the ASM app as a real time visual editor not unlike HEK. The future looks bright for us all.

I think it would also be appropriate at this time to give thanks to all of the other extraction app developers that have tried over the years to get there developments going. While some have failed, and others remain unfinished and unreleased, they have all helped the community is some aspect. They have also added to the ambitions and goal sets that we have taken to heart to allow us make what we have now possible.



Well, here on Halo Maps where "muh credzzzzz" is everything, it's only fair to point back to the start of it all.

I have told you how to do it 3 times already in a very quick and simple way.. You need me to make a video or something?

You know, not everything will be done "Automatically" (AKA for you). Sometimes you will have to solve the problem yourself. Why do you think it is called trial and error?

It's not automatically done.. for the 4th time:


If you do that you end up with:

It does, but now i think about it i dont think that is what you want.
You want the transform gizmo to be aligned with the mesh.
Just change the Reference coordinate system from "view" to "local"

Why would you want to do that? IMO sounds pretty silly. Like I can understand why you would want a few objects to be set in a more proper way, but there is virtually no need to have it that way with every object... for most you can just rotate it by hand...

Anyways, here is this if anyone else dose not get how to do it:

I am pretty sure this is an easier way.
This should be what you are trying to do Moot.

Pretty much the same thing as I was saying lol

Yours does not deal with local rotation though, and that is what he is looking for.
If this is not possible doing it the way i show, which Kirby reminded me that its not, then use this method.

Come on dude, it's the difference of one click.. You guys should learn more about what the tools offer in Max... They help a lot if you know what you are doing.

Edit:

Though yes, that video directly addresses his issue, thank you for posting it.

I was just trying to help.
Also, watch the last video i linked to, that is exactly what he is trying to accomplish, but in batch.

Srry if you did not catch my edit, hit post before I addressed the vid. Thanks for that

You are editing while I post lol
Edited by ElijahB1 on Apr 10, 2014 at 10:30 PM

Its funny because i was editing my post at the same time you were editing yours.
I never caught it :)
Edit: i posted this while you were editing yours lol this is great.
Anyway, glad we figured that out.

Its over 9000 Edits! LOL

Its funny to see your both arguing/debating who edited their post first.

:D

I know, it's like we are Canadians or something hahaha

Well, no promises, but I can see how it would be useful to have all that pivot stuff setup and going when importing... may look into it for a future update...

Editing the importer script would be the most effective way of going about it.

wat?

Yeah, I was confused for a sec.. lol

Other than the pivot stuff, are there any other issues?

Yeah, in order to do that there would need to be a lot of changes to the importer script. We are planning on doing that at some point, working on speeding up the importation process as well.

Looks like we have a troll/spam bot in the thread. Can we please get assistance from Dennis to get this user booted?

That would be nice.

Honestly, where is a "Report" button when you need one?

Would be honestly grateful if we could get this user banned. She is obviously going to just keep spamming and trolling all over the boards. Don't believe me? Look at their posting history. All they do is harass and post flame posts.

Would help if you would stop replying to it...



Objects of the sky? Uh.. Can I have an example?

I sincerely hope you're not referring to me.

??? I don't think I was.

Can you guys make it so that the sub-items in the list of stuff in the model viewer is also in alphabetical order too? I think that would make searching for certain things in the viewer easier, for example things like spartan armor, which has multiple armor types for one piece of armor, but the pieces are not in alphabetical order.
Edited by P3 on Apr 12, 2014 at 12:06 AM

you can do that in max with a single button click

Yeah, but I mean if you don't want to export the whole entire thing and then use max to organize before choosing what you want and then deleting the rest.

Vampire Girl! =3

He was just curious w/ the whole news and everything. Can you rlly blame him for coming and take a peek?
