How to edit a halo2 vista meta in hht

[adolif]

step 1: make a new folder with a duplicate copy of hhtV5 and it's files meant for messing with. Take an entity plugin for halo 2 xbox (an xml one) and overwrite an hht xml plugin. Remember the tag class you pasted over.


step 2: use h2vedit lite and extract a meta from a halo 2 vista map OR do it manually with a hex editor. Record the meta's offsets in notepad, I recommend. If using h2vedit lite, convert these offsets from decimal to hex.

create a new file: "<your meta filename>.meta.data>"

paste this into ur new file in notepad (edit the stuff in between * *'s first.)



Filename|*meta source path(example: objects\wawa\gasstation)*
Tags|**tag class 1**tag class 2**tag class 3*(example: bipdunitobje)*



step 3: make a duplicate of a halo1 campaign map meant JUST for corrupting. inject your h2 meta into a halo 1 meta with the tag class you are using the entity plugin with.

step 4: edit your meta

step 5: hex edit the meta back into your halo 2 vista map.

done!
