On a completely unrelated note: Ts6 can load and save textures as dds.  Joy!

[Hippo]

so can Max 6... hencely, i have them as bitmap, but they are still in a state of disorder...

[Taristin]

Yeah. There's no way to save the UV Mapping?

[Reppyboyo]

In the xbox verson you were able to get te uvmapping alreay done in models, such as the cheif and the warthog, this is not possible in the PC version.
AFAIK there is no way to extract the POA with UVmapping, I dont think sparkedit can do this.

[Hippo]

hm... /me thinks a Mapper needs be found

[Reppyboyo]

Dont you mean a texturer? or UVMapper?

Anywayz, Im giving it a go tomorrow, I dont have the time tonight.
The POA consists of about 6 textures, not including the bumpmaps and glowmaps.

[Taristin]

How od you extract from the xbox version? I have the XBox disk, and a dvd drive... what else would I need?

[Hippo]

an xobx, and probably a mod chip

EDIT: it can be done without a chip, but either way, you'll need a whole lot of programs...

[Taristin]

Oh.

well scrap that idea.

[Hippo]

thoguh, what happens when you put an xbox dvd in a computer dvd drice? anything?

[Taristin]

I'll see. Hold on for a while.

Head to the sectorgame FreeSpace forum (www.sectorgame.com) and see about joining... If i can find a decent modeler and UVMapper (though Reppy may be interested in UV methinks) i'll do a little work in getting this thing some hosting at SG, (or i'll just defunct the AHTW forums and make them for this)...

[Taristin]

Oh. I put the XBox dvd in, and.. well...

Remember how if you put a Dreamcast CD in a cd player, it's play an audio file saying it was a Dreamcast disk? Well, this one plays a video file saying it's an Xbox disk.

[Hippo]

Is it in a voice similar to the dreamcast one? I accidently left that looping for an hour when i left my house, thinking it wouldn't play...

[Jetmech Jr.]

*Big bump*

Um, yeah, so has anything been done with this?

[Hippo]

yes, but not much... I'd hoped that the sumer would give me more time to work on it, and it has, but not as much... I'm still looking for some deticated staffers, including people who can create POF's good, and texture things good...

[Taristin]

...So wait. You can extract HALO Xbox models without having to get a mod chip? Because I'd be willing to try. If they come textured and UV Mapped.

[Hollewanderer]

I will be using it for my Completly Cryptic Conversion Project, or CCCP. Reskinned, of course.

It's a total conversion for FS2 that I decided to do as a practice while I write my sci-fi novel and Red Tide demo campaign mission scripts.

Apparently you can access your xbox via FTP when it is connected to your computer through an ethernet card... How exactly this can be done is beyond me, but people at forum.halomods.com (or just halomods.com) could tell you...
