Will adjutant actually be supporting online? I saw Rosana posting on the thread.

I got mixed up, I was thinking of the campaign file. Anyways I'm actually having a problem where I can't load any halo 4 ones, but i'm troubleshooting that myself right now, firstly by updating from adjutant 3.0

Just downloaded the current version of adjutant and I see the plugin and helper folders, those seem to be new. Anything I need to know about them or is it all behind the scenes stuff or is it stuff I access from the main adjutant GUI anyways?

It most likely wont for awhile people in my thread i made even Rosanna Weyland ignored what i said and again i will post it.

The .maps in halo online only hold simple code for the maps and are cache files for the real files that are in .dat, you can't extract anything from the .map files but code if you were to get them open.

Well you can already extract all models and textures since it is a PC game.

Yeah ninjaripper but you need to fix the UV maps and fix the model as it gets loaded in wide and stretched .

That, and most of the stuff is Halo 3, Reach, or 4 models so there is not much point in developing extraction for it at the moment...

3D ripper DX exports models correctly though.

i want the sounds too.

Get Fraps lol

I just found out Halo Online. How long has this thing been publicly known about?

(I feel SO out of the loop)

A few days

Anyone know why the PNG extracted files do not have Alpha transparency channels with them?

When I extract textures with Adjutant (in PNG format) they don't have transparency with them. So textures that are decals, are showing up (when applied to meshes) without any sort of transparency.

Thanks for any help.

i dont know the cause but there are one of 2 ways to go about this if you are using 3ds max.
1. go to your material/bitmap and make sure the aplha is checked.
2. just go to your opacity part of a standard material and use the same bitmap as your diffuse and select mono output as alpha.

Alright, I got the halo 4 map files to open, it was the older version of adjutant. That said, trying to load more then a few .map files at a time causes adjutant to crash, is decompiling them or whatever the term is more intensive then for reach or halo 3 ones?

Kinda, I usually only work with one map at a time and have no issues.

Make sure Adjutaunt is the only thing running cause when i decompile maps ill get the "not enough memory" message. ive never had it crash but it can take forever.

I think that png doesnt suport transparency, only tiff gif and JPEG files

PNG dose, photo shop is just dumb when it comes to its alpha channel.

For 3 and reach I just opened all the .map files at once without issue.


You got it backwards, png does, jpg does not.

Firstly want to say that I really appreciate the effort you guys have gone through. There's some really awesome work done here. Many thank yous all around!

I know you guys are well aware of the sound extraction problems and that you've got life things to work out; in the meantime, I thought I'd give you a list of all the music files that I couldn't extract and their error messages. There's still a couple files which can't be extracted because the "source array was not long enough" (you fixed many of these in the latest version, just a few more left). Hopefully this helps in some way. I'm looking forward to whatever you guys do next.

BTW thanks for fixing the download link

E.e

Just wondering has there been any movement with regards to full ripping suport for H1A?

If not thats keewl.

No, work has been really slow recently

I brought this up forever ago and was told to "buy the soundtrack." I believe there are also some letterbox dialog that can't be ripped too

Ah no problem keep up the good work though!

Jesus. Do people seriously not get that the soundtrack doesn't contain most of the audio inside the game, and the OST audio is mixed differently?


I found this as well, but I couldn't be bothered to check every single line of dialogue.

I've had that issue so many times when trying to rip audio from games. I wanted to find that epic theme from crysis 2 that only plays twice in the entire game, everybody said "its in the soundtrack" and it wasn't.

TLDR I found a sound rip for the game and it was in one of the action only slots, was pretty nifty to listen to it

How far away is Adjutant from extracting halo anniversary models,
or is anyone still working on that?

When I extract images from halo 2 using Adjutant the normal maps look black and white.
When I extract the same images from halo 2 using Entrity the normal maps look right.
Why does Adjutant extract halo 2 normal maps as black and white images?

Edited by SciFi on Jun 10, 2015 at 05:36 AM

Bump maps are black and white. If you use the nvidia normal map filter for Photoshop it would look nearly identical

Attempting to export the Grunt

"Error extracting objects\characters\grunt\grunt.mode:

ask for a ripped grunt from burby

I'm not too concerned with getting the model, just reporting like the output said to.

I know things are slow right now and probably not see anything for months.
That being said, will there ever be any animation extraction?
