Well, I wanted to extract the Textures and models of the spartan from the .map files.

I referred to a guide on how to extract them from the .map's of Halo 2 on Xbox.

But I get an error when I load it up in a program called ADI 1.2v. Any solutions how to access the file.

I wanted to try animating the High resolution spartan.

The map files of the Halo2Xbox and Vista are most likely different, if you want to access the files, you're going to have to wait for someone to release something to allow access to it.

Well, I know they are different. Just figuire being in a .map file they'd be package close enough to be opened.

Thanks for the reply.

Halo 2 XBox modding apps are fixed at the XBox maps' offsets. Having a resource's offset off by even one byte throws everything off and causes errors.

Do some extra searching/browsing and you might actually find something that may be useful (http://www.h2vista.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3107).
