So this convert CE - PC maps? This will get instant love from everyone. One question though, if you rip a weapon or something from this map and it has the same indecies (forgot how to spell) and verticles or an animation, do you have to rebuild/model decrap ect. or can you just rip something and is ready for instant use in your maps? Another question is can you convert over a protected map and if you can will it still be protected?

Last question, can you convert PC - CE? If you can I'll love you forever.

From the video we saw he just clicked a button to convert. No rebuilding or messing with var_kill_penalty, just click and play it seems. I wish i had that much sexiness on my computer........

Edit: i find it hilarious that this sig is being displayed in alts sig.

well i got a wide screen, and that text was quite small for me and i could not read it very well, but if it does that i am all for it, but it should be heavily monitored because we might get a whole bunch of Pheonixi on your hands if we are not careful about this.

Bcnipod has a point. All I really want this for is to be able to just extract one stinkin AR animation that I have permission to use. Also if this converts PC - CE then I'll be able to make some maps for CE :D

me being the CE map maker would love to have this tool.

This means instead of asking someone...who doesnt even do it anymore....do convert my maps, i can do it myself.

There should however be a way to protect halo pc maps with this tool, so the map maker could compile an unprotected version in CE. convert it to pc. then protect his valuable tags.

that is a good point. i know that Tyler777 made a map protector, maybe that code could be used again, to protect these maps.

The only reason Tyler777 is so against this is because it will level it out, now anybody can convert maps (when it gets released to PC), so his releases won't be as "amazing" as they are now.

^^^Not Flaming^^^

I'm all for this. If it makes converting stuff easier, then why not?

Glad to hear. I'll be excited to see what you make, If you take as much time as you imply here I'm sure it'll be something good.

^^(that was being serious)^^

my only question is how many credits will be on this mod he does? or is he going to do something on his own?

I know how to too, it will take a extremely long time though (10 hours mbmb?), you have to do all the indicies and verticies then you have to add some **** in.

10 hours .... :shock: not bloody likely.
Two easy steps if you set the map you're converting up first.
converting the lightmap by hand, so you dont have to apply a bitmap patch is the pain.

Halopc and CE are pretty much dead, I don't think it'll matter at all if there's an easy convertor out there. As a matter of fact it might even breath a bit of life into modding.

You guys should give Tyler a break. OK, so converting other peoples work with HMT 0.5 doesn't make a modder, but Mac users are quick enough to download the maps he converts, and he has put a lot of mac maps out there..
