Looks like good quality codez =)
However, I'm not quite sure how I'm meant to load a model's data from a map...

I see: Load(byte[] raw_data, DResource[] raw_resources, DCompressionRanges compression_ranges)
but where do I get raw_resources and compression_ranges?

I can has Read(BinaryReader br);?

Yea, tagblock loading is naff right now... You have to ask the map for one, then just pass out the properties from the model block.

Code: Select all

MapStream map = new MapStream(@"C:\Users\stem\Documents\headlong.map");
model tag = (model)map.GetTag(map.FindFirst((tag_class)"mode", "bridge_light"));
var raw = tag.Sections[0].GetRawPointer();
map.Position = raw.Address;
byte[] raw_data = new byte[raw.Length];
map.Read(raw_data, 0, raw_data.Length);
Mesh mesh_data = new Mesh();
mesh_data.Load(raw_data, tag.Sections[0].GetSectionResources(), tag.GetBoundingBox().GetCompressionRanges());

Clunky : definitely was not going to keep it this way, I just moved on to models for a bit.

After a bit of messing about, I'm down to this error, which I can't do anything about...

'Moonfish.Core.model.BoundingBox' does not contain a definition for 'GetCompressionRanges'

You might be be to call GetDefinition() on the model.BoundingBox object for the DCompressionRanges. I removed that property sometime I guess.
I just want to point out unless you're trying to edit the existing model or something you don't need to use the Load method to create a new model-tag for entity.
Just :

Code: Select all

Mesh mesh_data = new Mesh();
if (mesh_data.ImportFromWavefront(string_wavefront_filename))
{
      mesh_data.ExportForEntity(folder, tagname);
}

would make an entity tag

[XZodia]

Its not for entity, I need access to the vertices, triangles and uv's

var map = new MapStream(@"C:\Users\stem\Documents\headlong.map");
var tag = (model)map["mode", "pallet"].Export();
Mesh mesh = new Mesh();
mesh.Load(tag.Sections[0].Raw, tag.Sections[0].Resources, tag.Compression[0]);
mesh.Indices;
mesh.Vertices;
mesh.ShaderGroups;

Update maybe makes that more readable?

Internal models only right now, and I don't check in the code when setting the address :p

[XZodia]

Your texture coordinates are wrong, they all come out as (0.5, 0.5)

Also, there appear to be missing vertices...

Can you explain how I use shader groups?

Finally, how would you feel about joining my efforts to turn unity into a halo 2 editor?
i.e. instead of using OpenTK, you use the UnityEngine libraries.
(cause its a pain for me to have to go through and switch them over each time) =P
It also means less work overall, because unity handles all the heavy lifting for rendering etc.

[JacksonCougar]

I wouldn't mind, I only really use value_types from OpenTK anyways, its not hard to write operators to convert between platforms. As for the texture coords I'm gonna take a look right now because I noticed that too. And I originally thought that the indices were a single strip, but that was a incorrect assumption. They are all the shader group strips laid end to end without degenerative tris between them: so to render it you actually need to use the start and length values in the groups.

Just gonna leave this right har'.

[XZodia]

an animation rig?

Btw, It just occurred to me that I gave you the wrong unity link, as I haven't tested it on 4.x I'm using http://download.unity3d.com/download_un ... -3.5.7.exe

Been working a little bit on the Collada format, and for fun wanted to see if I could export the nodes for models into it. Was pretty straight forward... now to figure out how to export meshes and link them to nodes... I want to get model injection working up to at least rigid bones this time before moving onto jmad, coll, or phmo.

[XZodia]

Sounds like a plan.

Unity supports up to 4 node weights per vertex, H2 will likely be similar but may be less.

For each connected node, a vertex should have an index to the connected node and a floating point "weight" value (between 0 and 1).

My teams game (Tick Tock Toys) has been approved for the App Store! =)
Scheduled for release 24th February!

[CaptainPoopface]

Congratulations!

I wish I could leverage my creative output into a revenue stream...

[DoorM4n]

damn! That is so awesome xzodia!!

[neodos]

Grats XZodia, that's awesome! the Halo 2 to Unity app too, gotta try that!

[DoorM4n]

ZOMG halo 4 snipers is the greatest thing on earth!!!!

[JacksonCougar]

Weee.

Also:
Congratulations Xzodia and Xzodia's team :p must feel good man.

[XZodia]

Cool, are the nodes connected to the vertices?
And have you fixed the missing triangles?
I want to get this in unity =)

[JacksonCougar]

Adding the skinning information when exporting for Collada is my next check-point. Not there just yet. Collada is really dense to find anything out about how the format is supposed to work. And I'm not sure what you mean by missing triangles? How can they be missing?

[XZodia]

For example of missing triangles, see the pics of the banshee I uploaded.
For the skinning info, If you can read the it from the map, I can make it work in unity.

So my xbox 1 started turning on by itself as soon as you plugged it in, and the power button did not work at all. Opened it up for the 10th time in 2 weeks. Checked a couple resistors, traced a few circuits, etc. Finally found that there was some sort of black corrosion on the bottom of the board which had eaten through a trace for the power button circuit. Used some 24 gauge wire and patched it up, also cleaned a few areas of the board with alcohol to remove corrosion. Works like a charm, now I just need to get a hold of a Samsung SD616T dvd drive so I can spartan kick this Philips piece of shit out the window.
