Are there not CE map editors out there that allow you to open CE maps and extract hex strings like metas and bitmaps?

Ummz.....Open the bitmap file in guerilla, take a screen, put it in paint, resize, convert, inject, BAM! Thats in simple terms, not very descriptive but to the point

Um go search before you do this.

Halo CE wasn't intended to be "hex edited" like Halo PC modding is done. That's why it came with a Halo Editing Kit. That's why there are TAGS, actual source tags, not meta tags, but actual tags used for game development. They come with the Halo Editing Kit. Just extract the texture with HMT from PC BG if you need em

me and titan are workign to see if we can use hex to take out a bitmap from ahlo ce, nd some how get it converted to pc. teh halo map version vonverter doesnt allow you t odo it. and it wont let yo ucopy/paste the hex. we know its ripping, but we arent going to release it to the public. we jsut want to make movies out of it. becuz my ce doesnt work anymore.

plus we would like to create some rendering scenes in 3ds max with the extracted bitmaps. of course all credit will go to the creators.
