Any bugs can be reported to me here, or through private message. I will try and fix them A.S.A.P

Having a Problem?

Here a couple answers to some common questions. If you cant find the answer to your problem here please take some time a post it in this thread.

Q: Sandbox crashes as soon as I open it. What do I do?
A: Download and install the latest version of the .net framework.

Q: Sandbox only opens .map files... what gives???
A: You must first extract the usermap from its container file before you can open it in sandbox. For information on extracting usermaps read my tutorial attached to this post.

Q: Can I get banned for playing modded maps that I've made?
A: No not for playing it. But Bungie has said they will ban for posting modified content on your file share.

Looking good!

Edit: Erm, refuses to load. Latest .Net and all. I'll check something I think may be an issue and edit this post.

Thanks, if you cant get it working I will try and find the problem. Hopefully its just an isolated incident.

Great work from what i've seen from the pics but im getting the same problem as Tural.

Ok umm sorry about that guys. I cant see the problem now, but I'll look at it more tomorrow and hopefully have a fix up a.s.a.p. Maybe it was just a bad build, well see...

Edit: Ok I rebuilt the project as a .Net 2.0 application. Lets try it now and see if it works.

Probs me too

but awesome that you release all this, thank you very much!!

This looks awesome shade!

I can launch it just fine without any problems.

One question, can't you just use wxPirs to extract the usermaps from the container?

what is a .docx?

A Microsoft Word 2007 Document. If you have Microsoft Word 2003 or below, you need a compatibility update to read it.

Awesome, nice work! Thanks again, shade, for releasing this. I'm about to test it now...

EDIT: No dice. I open it and nothing happens... I'm using .NET v2 (with subsequent updates) by the way. Should I install v3?

Yes. Just to be on the safe side. I keep this computer updated so that is probably why mine works. Try visiting Windows Update.

OK, I'll do that. I've had no problems with Engineer, and Shade said he rebuilt the app for .NET 2.0, so I doubt this will help.

Nice app Shade. Works on Vista.

Nope, same thing after updating. Nothing appears on-screen at all.

EDIT: Also, does this allow editing/manipulating of position blocks or just the tag index? Thanks.

I think it works exclusively on Vista.

Just uploaded a fixed version so everything should be working fine now. The problem appeared to be with the icon I was using so I just removed it for now.

Edit: Tural try it now

Yeah, works now.

Good to hear!

I love you shade this is so much easier than HxD

Nvm, this is useless because only like 10 people can inject files in a CON container

Just read the tutorial and extracting and reverse the process

All you need to do is find the offset of the usermap in the CON file and paste it over.
