hey since the release of these nice apps i was curious what they can do besides make larger BSP conversions.

Looks like H2G is going to have plenty of features other than relinking the BSP and lightmaps.

ya. but we need to figure out what this beast cant do

It can transfer over AI zones
It can create custom *new* AI squads
It can take many different tags, weapons, vehicles, etc. from many different maps and rebuild the map easily
And I'm pretty sure you can create new tags with it, meaning COMPLETELY new content

That's just a short list too

with new tags possible... Halo 2 CE

and bump map injection

what exactly does that do? i think it has to do with skinning... i dont know that much about skinning

if we had new tags we could call it our own work... man we would have so much fun with that. but how would we make our custom BSP?

For that BSP thing the models are decomplied in GBX format I think. I wouldnt know how to go about custom bsps. It would be really cool though .

The upcoming version of h2g will allow custom tag creation.

I want!
BTW I've rebuilt maps with tons of new things... and the new things work 100% perfectly(exept bsps, but that is because i'm bad at fixing those idents)

what possibilitys would the new tag creation give us?

Bumpmapping is a way of making a model look more 3D without a model high poly count, which lags the graphics processor. A bump map is a map of subtle height differences within a map.

Imagine a perfect orange sphere. That is a normal model without bumpmapping. Now imagine an orange. That would be a model with bumps from bumpmapping.

Not sure if i'm allowed to give away that type of information yet. If you must know i'd suggest asking Anthony or Pokecancer.

umm not much really, it was just a feature that I thought would be cool. One thing is once we start to figure out what more of the values are we can start creating custom everything like in Halo CE that means we can just post a RAR with a folder and some tags inside and it could be a custom bipd, vehi, or weap just to name a few and we can post legaly because its all custom and not ripped.

ah if we ever get that far

The public is best off just waiting for Prom or for someone to figure out how to convert H2V maps to xbox.

I was thinking the same thing with h2v. Also since not everyone has vista ill be willing to help make custom tags for others if vista->xbox happens before custom xbox content on its own is available.
