As you haven't released any code/docs I shall carry on with my app.

Heh, sounds good to me. Good luck and nice work so far.

Zteam already gave him hep with that. ShadowSpartan gave him our source code for script extraction awhile back. Oh nice, is that stuff public? We open sourced bungies extracted campaign scripts awhile back, but that's the only thing public at the moment. http://www.modacity.net/forums/showthread.ph...

Really? Thats why we can add data to maps right? Also some of the reflexives are not editable in the guerilla so we couldn't add some of the data if we wanted too. Also tags are not the only thing AI need, they need multiple reflexives in both the scenario and the bsp. I've also heard that when add...

There was some AI for an E3 mock up, but you don't have nearly any of the required info to do it. Trust me, AI will most likly never happen do to the restriction of not being able to add data to maps. You do realize that with a hacked tool set and a few third party tools, it's quite possible to add...

Bsp collision is compressed. Afaik it's not stored in the meta at least.

Staff are the ones the should turn to if there is a problem: people should not be rewarded for helping keep the forum clean, they would do it because they wanted to make a difference, not have a fucking colored name. gash. And if a staff member is nowhere to be found? My point is that sometimes thi...

If your willing to give this group the said power, why not just make them staff? I don't see the point in designating a covert group to perform the same abilities as a staff member. If you want it to be a watered down version of what staff can do, then why not give them a different colored name? Peo...

You've been a great contributor and overall have had a better attitude than most of the programmers on this site, you'll be missed.

You don't need to send me illegal files, thats illegal. I already have it.

Nice contradiction.

grimdoomer wrote:The era files are not encrypted, they are compressed. Most likly lzx, which anyone with the 360 SDK would be able to decompress.

It doesn't seem to be lzx or zlib.

Also, this.

grimdoomer wrote:I've been hearing it has the same map format as Halo 3 with some differences, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

I highly doubt they would use the same map format for an entirely different game, developed by an entirely different studio, for an entirely different genera of game (RTS).

Nobody is going to sell a Devkit to you people who just want to play mods. There are people who use them for research, and those are the types of people who should have them (Moreso than you). Possibly the reason i was sarchastic, and explained how i even know i couldnt use it. Your entirely correc...

Looks to me like you can actually place those blocks in forge and build your own structures.

Eaton wrote:Just a guess, but do you think it would use the same compression used for Halo 1 Xbox maps?

Halo 1 xbox maps use zlib...so no.

We never said we weren't going to release the animation injector , it's just a matter of finishing it. In it's current state it's entirely useless to the public community anyway, we would have to make a new perfect model injector that supports nodes for it to be useful to any of you, and we would ha...

So you wouldn't happen to know the process by which it subdivides the model shape, and how all of that is stored in a coll tag? I had a method awhile back to extract collision models with faces, though it was buggy in the sense that it kept creating multiple faces using the same 3 vertex indices. I...

There's more to the collision model tag than vertex positions, much more.

I have a question. What is the "zone" tag? I know that it probably has to do with raw data, but I am curious if there is more to it because the current zone plugin doesn't have any named values. In the beta, the "zone" tag contained the raw offsets and sizes. In the retail game,...
