.ass or amalgam scene specification is a source file type. An intermediary format file produced by the 3ds Max exporter. When run through Halo 2 Tool, .ass files generate .scenario and .scenario_structure_bsp files, which can then be edited by other tools.[1] When Halo 2 Vista was initially released, an ".ass error" would occur, showing a picture of one of the Lead Engineers Charlie Gough mooning Steve Ballmer.[2] The picture has since been patched out.
