If you're asking me, I have no idea. Similar to the Adjutant release being unrelated to the tag progress, the tag progress has nothing to do with me. I'm not working on or with the tag porting.
That was a fair while ago, and I didn't "refuse" to do it, I just didn't have plans for it at the time.
It's already been told... >Work on stuff >Keep it private for further testing and improvement >When done, release. Just like what happened with sounds.
The whole point of not telling about it previously is to avoid crap like the other day, and like with sounds, to have the release as more of a surprise. Edited by Gravemind on Apr 17, 2013 at 12:16 AM
"producing a complete tag set and releasing it to the community." For clarification, this "release" refers to the tag set. The release of Adjutant had nothing to with the progress of the tag port, and it would most likely have been released before a complete tag set (a weapon set or something similar would've been a lot quicker).
As was said earlier, sounds were kept private too; for quite a while, even. It was only when I got the final pieces working that they were released, and I don't see people whinging about that all over the place.
See that Zteam tag release thread? There was mention of further releases, depending on "how things turn out". Obviously, due to the amount of whinging in that thread and this one, things didn't turn out well enough to warrant further releases. Its crap like this that makes people give up on their plans, and even more so, give up on this community.
I don't believe racism is appreciated on this forum regarding the arab comments. Also screw quoting, you can figure out what I'm talking about on your own.
I never "promised" anything regarding Halo4, nor did I "remove" it an any recent updates. There hasn't been an update since before this crap started and to be honest I don't know how the "trick" to open the maps even works. I tried it and there isn't any option to continue after the exception or to reload the map.
As for the whole "at its core it's not his" crap, that's not true either. The whole point of rewriting it for v3 was to get rid of the Alteration stuff and make my own. As for the research integrity, whether you read information from a textbook or write the textbook yourself, it doesn't change the fact that you learned from it. This being the case, I actually learned and understand all the things I coded, and they weren't a straight up copy and paste without any care for whether it makes sense or not. To further the point, credit was given to people who helped me learn whether or not it was direct help.
Editing the snd! plugin will not help in any way. As I stated before, plugins have nothing to do with actual extraction, all they do is make the meta viewer load different tag classes.
Last of all Zteam has nothing to do with this thread, and over 80 posts worth of unrelated crap isn't really needed. Edited by Gravemind on Apr 13, 2013 at 10:59 PM
The folder should always exist. It's not a hard-coded path, it always uses the temp folder set by Windows.
Clear your temporary files using Disk Cleanup or something like that, and also check that folder and delete any tmp.xma, tmp.wav, temp_playback.xma and temp_playback.wav files.
Should work fine, make sure you have the newest version of the EMF script (3.3). If you don't, just generate it using Adjutant.
The xma to wav conversion is done by towav, so I can't control the specifics of the output. The best thing to do would be to use something that can batch convert the wav files to ADPCM, like Banshee64 said.
Also, automatic updating got broken in that last update, I fixed it and updated the exe. You'll have to do a forced update to fix it.
This is long overdue, but finally here nonetheless.
=======================================================
v3.1.0.0 -Added sound extraction -Preview sounds before extracting -ToWav is REQUIRED for .wav extraction and previews -Read "Raw Extractor > Sound Extractor" in Help for more information
======================================================= Don't forget to read the help file, and towav is in the OP.

Quote: --- Original message by: jackrabbit @ Gravemind I can see your application wont use these plugins at this curent time and read that you say halo 4 is not going to be supported anytime soon, but I can also see that you put alot of work in wile testing these plugins and the small amout of reserch you have done could be quite useful to the developers working on Assembly
Ither these plugins are a total joke or gravemind has broken 343i's raw pageing file algorithm?
however intresting to see these plugins im gessing thay are for another app? gravemind says thay are real but useless.
just because the code is not working in his program dosent exactly make it use less?
Im alittle confused??? as to answers? what is this exactly? dose this meen you know the first bitmap index in halo 4?
<struct name="Sequences" offset="112" visible="True" size="64"> <string name="Name" offset="0" visible="True" length="32" /> <int16 name="First Bitmap Index" offset="32" visible="True" /> <int16 name="Bitmap Count" offset="34" visible="True" /> <struct name="Sprites" offset="52" visible="True" size="32"> <int32 name="Bitmap Index" offset="0" visible="True" /> <float32 name="Left" offset="8" visible="True" /> <float32 name="Right" offset="12" visible="True" /> <float32 name="Top" offset="16" visible="True" /> <float32 name="Bottom" offset="20" visible="True" /> <float32 name="Reg Point X" offset="24" visible="True" /> <float32 name="Reg Point Y" offset="28" visible="True" /> </struct> </struct> Assembly already has all its own plugins. Also, that bitm plugin is exactly the same as Reach.
It's legit.
Whether or not it's an April fool's joke, the plugins are real. However, plugins have nothing to do with extraction, contrary to what many people seem to believe (in which case these are useless anyway).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_space_partitioning BSPs are not the same as normal models, and so they obviously can't be extracted the same way.
Quote: --- Original message by: Ecelon Would it be possible for you to send me the extracted .EMF files for the permutations. I've tried changing some strings in the "Meta Viewer" hoping it would work, and still nothing. Sorry to be such an annoyance mate! If the meta viewer lets you change values, it must be a pretty old version. Download the one in the link on the first post. Edited by Gravemind on Mar 20, 2013 at 04:20 AM
You need version 3 or newer or the Unknown pieces won't appear. I removed the linked EMF files because the permutations should now be extractable normally.
Quote: --- Original message by: Ecelon I was wondering if anyone knows how to export 'spartan_flair_xxx' models. Seems that I can only extract the ODST chest / ODST Shoulders / Juns Chest piece. I've been trying to figure it out for the past few days, with no luck. Though I did manage to extract them as .obj, but it was 1 single object and would take forever to break them apart! These permutations can only be exported via the model viewer. Open the spartans model in the viewer, and there should be an "Unknown" permutation. This contains all the different parts which were previously missing, however they will not be correctly named. You can use the viewer to see which part is which, or just extract all of them.
The hull and interior are probably attached in-game using scripts such as the object_attach function in CE. If you want them as one model, you'll need to combine them manually.

Quote: --- Original message by: jabberwockxeno When viewing halo 3 (haven't tried with reach since the update), assets, only the meta viewer tab is there, and it says "plugin not found: Halo3\(depends on asset).xml" Read the changelog and the help.
It fixes some missing rigs, not the incorrect rigs. So no, it doesn't fix the broken Reach rigs. One example is the Halo3 masterchief model, how the shoulder pieces used to not be rigged or linked to anything.
The fixed bitmaps are ones that had the bottom half cut off, ones that had multiple of the same images in the same bitmap tag, ones that looked as if they were cut up and rearranged, and A8R8G8B8 cubemaps. One example here would be the bitmap tag for the assault rifle numbers in Reach, which had both the bottom half cut off and the same image for each index.
If you are using models or bitmaps matching this criteria, you may benefit from re-extracting them. Otherwise, no action is required.
