Cross-Game Injection?

[Kojuku 136]

Has anybody gotten any cross game injection done at all? Like bipeds and working collision models from ODST into Halo 3? I understand we have a long ways to go, but this seems like a very cool addon we could throw into Assembly. Seeing items from Halo 2 in Halo 3 would be awesome. I know you guys are working on other things for Assembly, but this definitely would be a very interesting thing to see for Halo modding. In the Halo 3 Alpha, I think the Assault Rifle and Battle Rifle have H2 animations. Thanks

ODST and Halo 3 are pretty much the only interchangeable games to a degree. Tag layouts differ between games and would require rebuilding/fixing by hand for anything to work.

 

I took this Reach Beta bitmap and put it in H3 for example after fixing its bitm tag.

you can extract models from one game and inject them into another but you will probably have to do your own shader parameters for the model maybe and do your own UV bump map skinning and normal skinning for the bitmaps of the model

Would it be possible, to say take Mombasa streets from ODST and inject it into Halo 3 as a multiplayer map?

Possible? Yeah.

Easy? No.

 

You have to recreate the lightmap tag, along with potential sbsp tag changes I already don't remember.
