meh i have always had better dl speeds from mediafire than Mega (probably because mega is new zeland based while mediafire is us based).

Mediafire analyses your files, (unless you compress them to password zipped archive)

Mega, uses lions to analyse your files.

I have a few questions...

1. How come only the halo 4 marines and a few other models only have normals as their armor/body texture? Their face and helmets however are fine

2. How can I get the models (halo reach or 4) ingame? I tried using JMS exporter but then it would tell me that there are no actors to export...

great tool nonetheless!

Also, will you guys be doing anything on effects?

look for there control maps and go into the green channel in photo shop or any photo editing software that supports editing of the rgb channels
and also halo dus not support there bone type
Edited by savinpvtmike on Aug 27, 2014 at 05:18 PM

Ah ok, so, the bones from the more recent halo games (such as 3 or odst) don't have the supported bone type? Thanks for the help anyway! Also, can you help with the photoshop thing? IDK what to edit even though you told me (green channel)

BTW, I just thought I would throw this in, since a few misguided ppl think porting fx is easy.

Numero uno: The only thing you can port fx wise are the bitmap textures used in the fx.

Numero dos: After H1, all the fx game engine parameters were significantly updated, to conform to the ever growing engine dev changes.

Numero tres: Halo ce's blam engine fx parameters are pretty basic to say the least, i'm not knocking it it. I for one have done some pretty great stuff with it. But if you want to replicate something from a later game engine, such as COD or Altis Unmasked.

Then I can pretty much guarantee it will take you more time than it is worth.

Numero fours: You can port bitmap fx textures from h4 bt all you have at the end of the day are the bitmap textures which won't assist you in say replicating something like the H4 Sbr's firing fx.

The way I did was to create my own fx bitmaps and such using a multitude of fx programs which, SHOCKWAVE may be aware of.

I have to say, even replicating something as simple as muzzle flash can be hard using ripped fx textures.

Yeah, I expected it not to be easy, especially from newer engines to this engine, but either way, I am fine without fx.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but in the game industry 14 years is like a century.

I guarantee you if we went back to the past and showed all the developers what would be in the future, they would re-colour there pants.

Whilst I am here, the adjutant updater is not working for me.

"The remote server returned an error. <460> restricted"

I tried running as an admins and all that other jazz, bt no luck.

Can somebody send me a pm, with any updated plugins??



Pretty please?
Edited by SS Flanker on Aug 31, 2014 at 08:12 AM

What do you need? Adjutant 3.5.1.1?

Yus please.

As you already know, updating does not work ATM.

The link to the latest known build is here:

Oh update doesn't work? Really need stop reading and responding to threads at 2 in the morning

Thanks for the info, doctor.

You could just read the OP...

I think you are talking to the wrong person.

Yeah, you could tell him to look on the OP in place of reposting though...

I suppose I could have done things that way.

any plans for H2A MP support when MCC comes out? the mp does run off blam >.>

the only one that looks ok is the first one. i hate how the industry is continuously adding lots of detail where it is completely pointless and calling it high rez. its my biggest peeve with the halo 4 assets.

actually that 3rd helmet looks pretty cool imo

All three look like someone tacked on a random helmet to a random body honestly. Maybe I'm just misjudging but I swear that the helmet looks really small compared to the body armor.

Sorry, bt I often miss lines when scrolling through op's. I guess I must pay extra attention, also. That middle pic looks like a really bad example of a female spartan.

Should we even have female spartans?

If you can somehow decrypt the xbox one files, sure I guess.

Has anyone even tried this yet? Or is it too soon to ask? Lol

XD

People have been working on it since the console came out, little progress has been made though.

Question, you mentioned in the adjutant "about" or "read me" window within the app, that you can rip maps from xbox360 discs.

Sooo, how do you do that?

ADJ dose not rip maps.

will there be an up date soon for adj

Probably not, there's not much to update save for animations - which, you've been told time and again, there aren't any plans for.

actually, for ADJ's shader library setup for 3DS max, could you make it so that you can toggle if its using max's composite maps or not? Especially for BSPs and the latter games' character models, that many composite maps tends to lag and stall max astronomically more than if you were to use just a plain diff/spec/norm. I know you need the composite maps for CC and ocassionally detail maps, but would it be possible to check if these options are unchecked and just input textures without the usage of the composite material?

My computer runs them pretty well and it's about 4-5 years old, you may want to think about investing in an upgrade of your computer is taking a dump when trying to look on a map. Also, BSPs look really bad and it's a bit of a pain to mess with the max script, so you will most likely not see an option like what you are requesting.

I have a pretty beefy computer, so that's not really an issue. Its also not really an issue within the geometry and whatnot, its just changing how materials are imported which could be relatively simple compared to what you've all done so far.

I agree with r39, one other thing why can't why extract anims again?

animations are stored differently in every game iirc, and trying to make an importer is extremely difficult from what I gather

At the moment, we don't really feel like going back and messing with it. Simple as that.



That is pretty much it, yeah.

Is it possible to find this .exe or is located in the depths of mysticism and disguise?
