Halo 3 Retail Game Research

[kornman00]

Thats how I learned, and I garentee most of the more expirienced modders learned that way too.

Which is why many bad habits\standards continue to plague their code today. Not saying that my code is always 100% right or the "standard", but there is much improvement left to be done in whats developed by the people here. Especially when people try to learn from their code.

I learned to code outside of halo, but I learned a lot of what I know about halo from looking at code also.
I agree with Kornman on that and Entity is a great example, but even some of the less buggy programs have some goofy coding, or could have been written better.

does anybody know this

ZTeam managed it, and do we know how yet? i dont post very much but heh discuss if you dont know of this existence

[Tural]

I've been shown retail assets a while back, someone out there has done it besides those guys, I believe.

[Spartan_094]

does this mean we get to have tools to extract from h3 retail since the beta tools were never given out publicly to rip models or bitmaps? or does it stay private unless somebody wants to post the programs or people research and do it them selves? or does it go like halo 2 extraction were we can do it publicly? just curious

[Veegie]

You get nothing.
You are irritating though.

[Tural]

That's all up to the people making those tools.

hey all i wanted was a simple yes or no and i would not bother anymore, christ veegie

[Veegie]

A simple yes or no isn't possible from whom you're asking.
That is why it's so stupid.

[Spartan_094]

ok i dont keep up-to-date on who can rip rather then ZTeam, its anyone who can extract retail stuff and would like to share with the community with the programs to rip the models and bitmaps, and im not sure who can rather then ZTeam, so ya...

[Tural]

Erm. That wasn't coherent.

[Spartan_094]

ok, all im asking is who can rip from the retail other then ZTeam and would like to share there programs for model ripping and bitmap extraction, my intertests in this is because i like to render and i would love the models and bitmaps for rendering purposes only...does this make sense now?

[Tural]

"Who can rip and wants to share."
There isn't anyone like this, as previously indicated.
People can rip, but they apparently aren't sharing, just like Veegie told you.

[Spartan_094]

ok thank you, thats the answer i needed
