Halo 2 Materials

This may be a odd question for some of you, but here goes.
It appears Halo2 stores the material types of there collision models as a string id.
So this prompts me to believe there is a material string table look up in either the scenario sbsp or global tag?
Anyone seen anything like that.
Thanks Talin

it may be in the hlmt on a per model basis

Would this be for example, stone, dirt, sand etc?

matg has something like that, check out the ifp for that tag (under "materials" and "something materials") In something materials it has like 4 string ids and then a lot of dependencies

I thought that the material properties were bark & branch? And the materials were the shaders etc

collision doesn't have shaders.
I am really not sure what properties it would have though but it is more for
like when you shoot dirt vs metal
you get a different sound and flying dirt.
