This program exists to convert compiled Halo bitmaps (1 or 2) from their .bitmap format to an editable format.

Any bitmaps created by Bungie, Microsoft and/or those involved in bring you the halo games are their intellectual property and should be treated as such.

Features:
> Thumbnail views of all bitmaps
> Simple folder navigation
> Seperate RGB channel selection
> Alpha channel viewing
> Singular extraction of bitmaps and batch extraction of bitmaps
> Bitmap extraction from both Halo 1 and Halo 2 Vista tags

Big thanks to the DevIL Development team and to the creators of the Tao framework (.NET implimentation of the DevIL library).
Also credit goes out to Kornman for the TagInterfaceV2.dll which made my job easier ;) .

Feel free to contact me with bugs or suggestions.

PS. When you first start the program set up your directories in File > Settings

Here is V1.0 of my universal bitmap extractor :). It views and extracts both Halo 1 and Halo 2 Vista .bitmap tags.

As this alters files and folders you may need UAC turned off on Vista.

Let me know about any bugs or suggestions you may have.

[DaneO'Roo]

[Kornman00]

omg creditz ;o

[Snaver]

Nice work! I can't seem to browse my halo 2 tag folder though, bug mb?

[FireScythe]

What have you put as your Halo 2 folder in the settings?

[Snaver]

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo 2 Map Editor

I used the registry settings, then did it manually (using the registry method it gives you a trailing '/' at the end if that makes a difference) Halo 1 tags work fine, i have UAC disabled btw.

[FireScythe]

I've just tried that same directory and its working fine, does it actually navigate to the directory? Can you click anything?

Actually, gimme a screenie.

[Snaver]

It seems it doesn't want to pick up the tag folder for w/e reason.. :\

[FireScythe]

I can't understand why its not working :S. It works fine with the same folders on my PC. I can only think its some other Vista security feature thats not letting it see the folders. Perhaps the folders are hidden, read-only, etc.

Sorry about that.

[StankBacon]

[Roostervier]

Good job, mo reppy, mo happy.

[Con]

Awesome job! +rep

[FireScythe]

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, you can now drag bitmaps onto the batch extractor, so if your feeling adventurous you could search for all of the bitmaps, drag them on and extract them all in one go. :highfive:

[Kornman00]

what a stupid feature

Just tested it out. Great work!

[Hunter]

[Patrickssj6]

Works on XP....

System.OutOfMemory...lets see....

press continue if that works or tell us what you did that caused that problem.

[TheGhost]

Obviously it works on Vista... look at my screen shot. :p

[FireScythe]

does this only work on Windows Vista? cuz i get this error: *ONOESERROR*
Seeing the details would help.

[Hunter]

I get this when i click on the Details button.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

When i click continue i can click on some buttons on the application but when i click a button that eroor comes back up.

[FireScythe]

If you have a config.cfg file in the same directory as the exe, delete it and restart the program, it could be a corrupt config file.

[cheezdue]

can somebody tell how to use this please?

[johnnyblaz20]

open it. set your directory, go to tags/scenario/bitmaps/ and find a bitmap you'd like to extract..... there is a readme included, did you try reading?

[cheezdue]

thanks. i set the direcotry somewere else:v
