Has anyone else tried exporting using PNG? I get nothing but errors when using it instead of TIFF.
I pretty much get this error when exporting using PNG.

--Invalid BitmapFormat received.

This happens for EVERY bitmap. Not just a few but every single one.

I am trying to extract from Halo Reach. Not sure about any other game, but I am guessing this is a Adjutant program issue and not a .map file issue. Since the old version of Adjutant (before SBSP extraction support) worked fine with using PNG files.

Can anyone else confirm this sort of issue or error?

Thanks

Not sure, I can extract fine with .png...



Any bitmap in particular you are having issues with?

The issue has been resolved. Spoke with one of the coders and they released a patch. They said that Adjutant did not really Utilize PNG because of the large file size exporting the Adjutant.

Thanks for the help either way though.

Anyone else using Adjutant and having PNG export issues, just update to version 3.5.1.1

Ah yes, thought that update had gone out already :p

So, I have a question that is not really relating to the program itself, but it's close enough and I didn't want to make a whole new pointless thread over it but... yeah.
So I couldn't find the multiplayer spartan armor diff textures. All I can find is the control maps and the normal maps. Are the diffuse maps for the Halo 4 multiplayer spartans the control map only, or am I just not looking hard enough? Also, is there any spec maps? Do we have to make our own, because I don't see any that is shown extractable.

the green channel is diffuse for mp spartans.

Ok thanks. I did already did that though, i was just making sure if it had a diffuse map or not. How about the techsuit though? Same thing? Because it looks kinda weird and undetailed...

What? -_- I don't see the whole layer mask and then go to transparency.
What i think that i could do that is similar to what you are saying is go to channels, then select the green channel and blah blah blah you know the rest. Right? I think I got it. Thanks.

First off I just want to say thank you! Amazing tool and progress! I am curious though, is there any interest orwork being done to get the Bink video tags extracted? Correct me if im wrong, but those tags should be just standard bik files embedded with a tag header correct? How hard would it be to get the extraction process forit working?

Uhh, you mean for like the spartan ops episodes?

Spartan Ops and all major cinematics regestered in the bink tag. For instance, the ending, Librarian and Infinity cutscenes are in standard BIK format standalone on the disc. My hunch is, the rest of the cinematics are under the bink tag. They reference the snd! Tags when you view that particular tag. Im guessing the cinematics are inside the map file in raw form.

The opening, librarian, ending, and infinity introduction cinematics are pre-rendered and stored on the disk as .bik files. All other single player cinematics are rendered in real time on the console. As for the spartan ops cinematic episodes, they are all streamed to your xbox from 343.

Ah, that would explain why I can't find anything Spartan Ops. Thanks for the help with that. Any idea if animations are being worked on? I would love to be able to extract the animations or key frames used in the cinematics. If not, nbd, just thought I would ask.

At the moment, no.

Anything new? :)

Nope, not yet.

Ok.

halo 1 support pls.

pre-xbox halo support pls






seriously

Man I love my fish heads :D

ya it would work out

i have an actual suggestion. would it be possible to get the AMF importer to put models in max with quads rather than tris? i really hate the process of manually making stuff quads and i'd really like to be able to import quads.

Have you tried using the quadrify script.
search scriptspot for it

actually it may have been built into newer versions under the modifier quadrify mesh

Make all sounds exportable from H3 and I will be happy.

i third this opinion.

Quadrify mesh is basically a stepping stone. Halo models have weird topology and has a lot of tris in place because of UV and MatIDs. that and Max's Quad algorithm is weird as hell

Did you try the older script.

i'll take a look at it

>bsp support

And some said this day would never come. Wonder if I can finally find the reflection and environment maps now, too.

Also, I may be getting ahead of myself, but seeing as how Gamecheat has demonstrated BSP injection for reach, does this mean we could potentially have fully custom maps for reach?



Is it possible to convert the BIK cutscenes? I'd be interested in extracting and converting them.

Yeah, you can do that.

This should do.

Excellent.

Oh, full rig support as well? Oh man, it's like Christmas. All I need now is to find those reflection/environment maps, and figure out how to replicate the in engine shaders, and I have complete access to in game assets as they appear in game with a little work on my end in the slate material editor plugging in textures the right way.
