A sign of things to come

So, I was in my little coder monkey's corner this weekend...

Yes, its the interface to my tag extractor, yes I know it looks kinda fugly but after staring at bright colors all night my eyes kinda needed the break ;p
I made the GUI over the weekend, but I've been coding\debugging the actual tag interface upgrades for Halo 2 for about two weeks (if you discount breaks where I couldn't code for that day due to army stuffs, etc). Currently, the only tag groups that need special postprocessing code that I haven't made or finished yet are the structure_bsp, lightmap, sound and shader, thus they don't appear in the tag listing. The final release won't extract from custom maps, but it will host a map encrypter in case someone makes their own and last but not least a converter to xbox (currently a low priority). A few other nifty little sub-tools may be included if you catch my drift ;).

Tested the render model postprocessing code and it appears to working A-OK:

Now if only Ghost would ANSWER HIS FUCKING IMs ~:maddowns:>

EDIT: yeah, site is down, sorry, no pix atm.

Kornman, may I be the first to say that you are

A. an awesome possum
B. a funky coder monkey
C. a super dooper (?)

for giving all this time for us. Many thanks.

Great job Kornman! You've always been a positive contribution to our community.

You ARE a positive contribution.

now i know why everyone called u the father of halo pc modding and shit like that.

Yeah.. that's some great work right there.

Angry sperm!

Thank you very much for your efforts towards this. It's people like you who create Halo programs that keep this community alive. Keep up the great work!

It's halomods all over again. *Sarcasm**cough cough*

Oh dear, re-new ur domain plz, kthx.

I don't really own it :-3

Kornman has to fly all the way back home, bend over, and start yelling "go daddy go daddy go!" Only then will his domain name be renewed.

Sad, sad day for the man of korniness.

This thread may be a sign of things to come, but Prometheus is the shape of things to come ;)

Prometheus is canceled. We cannot complete with such an amazingly designed and aesthetically impressive application.

Nick

I guess that's a win.

Sorry to bump but how is this project coming along? I am interested to see if I can extract all the mp level tags so I can use them to build my own maps soon (since some tags were not included).

The main issues are just the shaders. Its not a straight forward process of extracting a shader from a cache file and putting it into a tag file. It has to be aggressively de-postprocessed sort to speak. And thats turning out not to be the easiest thing because it puts some data from its tag references (ie, shader_templates, shader_passes) in its postprocessing data, then it always seems to 'ignore' some fields when postprocessing to a cache file.

Right now I'm just using a default sound tag when extracting as I haven't tried writing the reconstruction code for it but it shouldn't be a problem when I do.

Thats the only thing thats really slowing things down, the damn shaders.
