[T Beezie]

T Beezie, those pictures are amazing. Do you mind if I use one for the main post?

Sure, I don't mind at all. I'm very glad you like them.

Once again, outstanding job guys!

[jefri91]

looks cool but i cant get it to work...

[-DeToX-]

Worked for everyone else.

You need .net framework 2.0.

It can be found at www.microsoft.com
Just search for it there.

[ChaosEvolved]

I agree with the guy above me, could you make some tutorials for all the categories on the pregram, ie, arc editing, ball effects and stuff

every time i open a map with it, it brings up an error. and this goes for every map... even fresh ones.



i'm making a lasso.

[BEEF!!!]

I am getting an error as well. Happens when opening a map.

Code: Select all

Perhaps one of the developers could look into this a bit further and release a fix? It would be greatly appreciated, Detox and Turk.

Here, I'll take it apart for you:

at Tdtl_Color_Value_Editor.H2Map.Halo2Map.ScanDependancysLoneIDsAndReflexives(Int32 TagIndex)

The application is attempting to scan the selected tag for deps, lones and reflexs.

at System.IO.BinaryReader.ReadChars(Int32 count)

To read the tagtype of a possible dep in the meta, they decided to use the .readChars(count) method.

System.ArgumentException: The output char buffer is too small to contain the decoded characters, encoding 'Unicode (UTF-8 )' fallback 'System.Text.DecoderReplacementFallback'.

Which resulted in this error.

Moral of the story? Never use the readChars(...) method! One might think that it would return the current chars from the current position in the stream. This is not true, because if at the current position is not a valid char, the binaryReader moves on through the stream until it finally finds a byte that IS.

You are getting the error because the reader reaches the end of the stream, and just keeps on trying to read

A fix for this is to derive a class from the BinaryReader and override the method, heres what I use:

Code: Select all

        protected char[] chars;

        public override char[] ReadChars(int count)
        {
            chars = new char[count];
            for (int x = 0; x != count; x++) chars[x] = Convert.ToChar(this.ReadByte());
            return chars;
        }

So until that is implemented, this application won't work.

I've been having the same problem too

[BEEF!!!]

Prey wins the interwebs for the day .

How do you do that?

[OwnZ joO]

The authors update it and rerelease.

[-DeToX-]

Which I just updated... You can redownload.

[mr_penguin]

thanks alot for the update

[po_is_cool]

Wow thanks i really love this app! I posted a topic awhile back about it not working.

[-DeToX-]

To the guy who had problems opening maps, I decompiled it, recompiled it, and it didn't throw the error... Try it out.

[patchesreusch]

ahh this brings me back to a much simpler time

[Eaton]

Excuse the small bump, but i actually used this application for the first time today. I fiddled around with it all day and I my tdtls don't look ANYTHING like the pictures. Can someone post what settings they applied to get a cool effect?
