Yes, SparkEdit will do this for you.

It will? That just answered one of my questions.

BUT sparkedit only exports a mesh of the .map into .obj and provides no .mtl (material file) or textures... i need something that does this, i have found something that could work but doesnt for some reason. its this thing called deep exploration and it can convert supported filetypes. it has a batch extraction of geometry files available and when i attempt to convert a halo .map into wavefront object, it gives me a few export options. these are the ones

yes but eschaton only exports the bsp as an .obj file and does not include a material file (.mtl) that references the textures.

It extracts the .mtl for you. You just have to link the material to it. it won't have anydetail maps or anything, so yeah.

Dude...Listen.

PC tools will not give you the materials or textures. CE. BSP Extractor is what you want because why? "I want to extract bsps as a .obj format with materials bla blah."
