Halo 2 Materials

Post by Talin64 »

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?

yes,
As an example in coagulation
tag:
scenarios\objects\nature\trees\tree_redcedar\redcedar_m\redcedar_m

Materials:
StringReference|52|bark|4
StringReference|56|branch|6

What is missing is material properties?

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 :wink:

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.
