halo0001 · Post by **halo0001** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 1:37 am

Hey everyone i no all yall are thinkin is "who is this noob think hes doing posting ideas for halo1 conversion to halo2" but i think this is different, i htink this shows that it might be able to be done, but i really dont no maybe more experienced ppl in this stuff will, i would love to help anybody thats currently working one or who would like to begin working on a halo1 conversion to halo2 this would be ground breaking: Time for pics

Halo 1

damnation

battle_creek

collisionary viewer battle creek

Halo: Custom Edition

hugeass

hugeass collisonary viewer

I hope yall like this I KNOW THE BITMAPS ARE SCREWED UP but i dont know how to fix that at the moment so sorry.

WHAT I DID\tut

1.Open any (decompressed) halo1 or halo custom edition map in entity then go to the sbsp tag.

2. click on that lil blue cross, (as if you were going to bsp viewer) and click 'Export meshes to .obj' save it to a folder of your choice.

3. open the folder you just saved the .obj's in, in entity then change every thing that says your halo1 or haloce map name to u halo2 map name that you are injecting (ex: if it says 'battlecreek[0]' change to 'gemini[0]') even change the .mtl file like htat too.

4. then open ur halo 2 map you want to inject go to the sbsp tag then click on that blue cross (as if you were going to bsp viewer) and click inject visual meshes.

5. find the folder your meshes are in and clik ok wait for like 2 mins

6. a window will pop up with somehting about a tag name press ok

7. then go to bsp viewer to check out ur halo1 map.

This freezes in game i hope to fix though

. And i dont no if that collision works i hope though lol. Plz reply if this has been done or w/e have fun

I thought injecting meshes doesnt work ingame.. Only with Entity's BSP viewer

Well collision injects fine, it was the meshes that were giving people problems... hmm...

If you can somehow get this to work, it would be really cool, I thought it was you Slayer who had a post about this at haloplugins.

Detox is right. I doubt the collision model will even inject.

-DeToX- · Post by **-DeToX-** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 1:26 pm

The collision model from other maps wont inject because:
It has no faces, so the first vert will be linked to whatever it was in the old map...

And the meshes dont inject right.

well....what about when u do a bsp conversion....arent you taking a coll modle from a differnt map then

o yea and the coll modle did inject

Yes you are taking the coll model in BSP conversions... But your also taking all the faces... And we dont know exactly where the faces are.. But it converts the entire meta... Unlike Extracting and Injecting

o well i just tried in game and i could walk around just couldnt see where i was going

-DeToX- · Post by **-DeToX-** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 3:14 pm

Because the meshes injected wrong like I said.

Good luck though.
