*** I used the last win32 version of the console app to get this info. As you can see, the version info is differernt, and the file cannot be identified by HME.
To get results, you can edit the following hex from each map file...
The first few bytes of each file contains the following...
6461 6568 6102
To make HME read the map, you must change 6102 to 0700.
Then, use WinHME Final Release to extract the data into text files.
If you want the offsets as they are as complete as I can make em... well, download them from files.halomods.com....
