Dark Matter (Broken) problems

Post by Sniper<j) »

Hello all, i've been looking all over the net for a tool that can extract Halo 2 files into usable formats. i promised myself that i wouldn't do my hair untill i had found one (i'm serious about that) and i can make a ponytail of my hair now, so i've been looking very long. :lol:
I totally forgot about how good this site was (it was down sometime and was down really long somehow so i gave up the hope of HaloMods returning) and that you all made great mods, tools and other stuff.
So here i am, looking for a tool... I found Dark Matter, but couldn't find a D/L.
Finally i found Dark Matter Broken, i found a tutorial and was really happy about everything. Untill i found out how broken Dark Matter Broken really is. :( I could export evrything i wanted, no problems with that.
So i import one to Milkshape3D 1.7.7a and i hit the wall really hard...
There was only one vertice on the screen! :shock:
I open up DMB again and try some other models... Again one vertice...
I switched 3D application and opened it in 3dsMax 7.0 (i do have 7.5 too and a 8.0 trial), again one vertice...

I did nothing wrong, the tutorial was very clear.
I did found out something about Dark Matter Alpha 1-1, that was the tool i needed...
Again i'm off searching that tool (with my ponytail still growing, it's starting to itch...)
I found another tutorial with a DMA 1-1 download, but it's broken... (stupid rapidshare...)
I searched everywhere, i even found a clue about it's location. (it was in the uttilities part of files.halomods.com)
Never found it, i searched the whole forum TEN times (again, not lying)

I just like to render models that are extracted from games for my own pleasure and fun. (no i didn't try to extract Cortana, because i don't like her in Halo 2...)
So if anyone would be so nice to give me a download link for DMA 1-1 (just PM me), that would really help me get my life back and make me happy with my daily hobby, rendering.
