Thoughts?

Notes:
Yes a windows version will be compiled as well.
No it does not convert protected maps.

So this convert CE - PC maps? This will get instant love from everyone. One question though, if you rip a weapon or something from this map and it has the same indecies (forgot how to spell) and verticles or an animation, do you have to rebuild/model decrap ect. or can you just rip something and is ready for instant use in your maps? Another question is can you convert over a protected map and if you can will it still be protected?

Last question, can you convert PC - CE? If you can I'll love you forever.

what exactly does it do, because i mean we already got an app that does CE -> Mac so is this a better one or what exactly does it do?

as i stated before i am against this if your interested in why

From the video we saw he just clicked a button to convert. No rebuilding or messing with var_kill_penalty, just click and play it seems. I wish i had that much sexiness on my computer........

Edit: i find it hilarious that this sig is being displayed in alts sig.

actually it removes the var kill and auto rebuilds map for u

well i got a wide screen, and that text was quite small for me and i could not read it very well, but if it does that i am all for it, but it should be heavily monitored because we might get a whole bunch of Pheonixi on your hands if we are not careful about this.

Bcnipod has a point. All I really want this for is to be able to just extract one stinkin AR animation that I have permission to use. Also if this converts PC - CE then I'll be able to make some maps for CE

awesome. i wanna try it

sianara halo world i am not gona apear on any public forums for a while i will made a mod in the time i am away on my own and blow this comunity outa the water and i refuse to use this app i will continue to convert with C#MT and HMT Because i belive in old school stuff

btw i know how to convert a map in hex just plain hex

i will however still admin my site so yeah

me being the CE map maker would love to have this tool.

This means instead of asking someone...who doesnt even do it anymore....do convert my maps, i can do it myself.

There should however be a way to protect halo pc maps with this tool, so the map maker could compile an unprotected version in CE. convert it to pc. then protect his valuable tags.

that is a good point. i know that Tyler777 made a map protector, maybe that code could be used again, to protect these maps.

w00t

one step closer to mapping

now I just gotta get a keygen for max3d

I didn't say that....

this is a good thing. i say release it. ive been speaking with a few of the modding elites and we agree this will level the playing field for alot of people.

bring it on!

The only reason Tyler777 is so against this is because it will level it out, now anybody can convert maps (when it gets released to PC), so his releases won't be as "amazing" as they are now.

^^^Not Flaming^^^

I'm all for this. If it makes converting stuff easier, then why not?

Glad to hear. I'll be excited to see what you make, If you take as much time as you imply here I'm sure it'll be something good.

^^(that was being serious)^^

we all know this.

my only question is how many credits will be on this mod he does? or is he going to do something on his own?

I know how to too, it will take a extremely long time though (10 hours mbmb?), you have to do all the indicies and verticies then you have to add some **** in.

10 hours .... not bloody likely.
Two easy steps if you set the map you're converting up first.
converting the lightmap by hand, so you dont have to apply a bitmap patch is the pain.

Halopc and CE are pretty much dead, I don't think it'll matter at all if there's an easy convertor out there. As a matter of fact it might even breath a bit of life into modding.

You guys should give Tyler a break. OK, so converting other peoples work with HMT 0.5 doesn't make a modder, but Mac users are quick enough to download the maps he converts, and he has put a lot of mac maps out there..

thanks decoy but o well aparently i am no longer wanted in the modding comunity so i leave i am gona start making some CE maps on mac yes mac becasue i aont got a windows computer,

i may or may not post them or convert them idk "i will go where the yellow brick road takes me" (quoted from eminems dong yellow brick road)
