Tag Converter

Ok I'm probably acting like a newb again, but what progress has been made on a Tag Converter for the masses? I know that select few have one, but they refuse to give out tag sets without a really good map in the works. I just want to play around with Elites and stuff. I'm not making a map. So can one of the masters either A) release a complete Bipd set B) give us the tag converter? I realize that you don't want people to rip, but that's no reason not to give out a biped set. An actr and actv set would be cool as well. I'm tired of not being able to do anything in CE except change weapons around because I don't want to buy 3DS Max. I'm actually considering going back to PC modding because people in the PC modding community are always there for you. The CE modders spend more time trying to protect their work than to actually make maps. I hate it when somebody says "converting PC tags to CE tags is easier than map recompiling." Well it isn't for me, because I know how to recompile maps. I DON'T know how to convert tags. So can the great minds in BOTH of these communities (CE and PC) get together instead of saying that the other's favorite version of Halo sucks and explain for the semi-newbs like me how to convert tags??

The odds of getting what you ask for are -11111111 out of +4.5 billion.
And read the first ever topic about meta to tag conversion. Theres a real good hint in there about how to convert meta files. If you insist on figuring it out then, start with a bipd meta. mod2 and anim meta files are a little bit harder than all of the rest of the metas.


Peace

Wow! Negitive odds! So you're saying that -1.1*10^8:4.5*10^9... so: -1.1 over 450? Nice odds... It was worth a try.

EDIT: Here's the quote that was annoying me.

So axem, yes please continue!
