Pretty much. Open a campaign map in Entity, go down to the mode tag, select a model, click extract to OBJ.

[hellclown]

does this work with the Xbox version or am I forced to go buy H2 PC?

and will it get the textures?

[David5534]

Yes it will work on the xbox version of the game and no, you will need to goto the bitm tag and find the textures there.

[hellclown]

so do I have to have a modded xbox?

[David5534]

No you can get the map files from XboxSoftMods [files]

THANK YOU!

How do i open these to extract the models?

I ask because every time I attempt to open the Entity program I get this error message:

Are you running Linux or some other operating system...? I'm pretty sure that when you are opening it the .dll files are not recognized, but they are standard to Windows and Macs.
If not you may have downloaded a corrupted version.

Let me find you a clean copy either way.

I would recommend either UE or 1.3.7

I'm on windows which is running just fine on my iMac so it probably isn't my computer. and all of those links don't work.
