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.

Wow, great stuff! Thanks for updating this, FireScythe!

:o awesome

omg creditz ;o

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
