[APP]Reflexive Info Calculator

Well I've been learning C# lately and thought that a reflexive info calculator would be a good spot to start....


Halo's Bane

Opens up halo 2 maps with all the tags in a treeview.

When you click a tag, it'll go through and scan it for reflexives and calculate all the info I could think of for them (chunk size, nested offset, next translated offset, etc)

This won't be of much use to people, because of ifp's, which are great, except for when you want to look at the data it's self (because of offsets), but if you are a tag researcher (or working with tags anyways) it might be of some help, or if you want the source.....

Oh and I used Visual C# 2005 Express Edition to make this.

here's an example of 2 lines from the text file my program creates

11: Reflexive: 280 Offset: 6556 Nested Offset: 0 Next: 15500 Parent: 0 Chunk Count: 86 Chunk Size: 104 |Reflexive

12: Reflexive: 288 Offset: 0 Nested Offset: 0 Next: 14256 Parent: 0 Chunk Count: 99 Chunk Size: 144 |Interflexive| scenarios\itmc\stuff

oh and btw, the reflexive calculating part of my code is heavily commented so you can follow along (or see how sloppy the code is...)

well have fun!

ps: the only thing that I could think of that it doesn't support is nested reflexives in interflexives, which I didn't really feel like adding, might fix the app up later so that it'll support them....

wow i bet this is ace but i bet the word hex is menchend in there lol, this is nice i like to see whats in those lil reflexatives, is there little things for me or is it just numbers cos i get easily confused but wow what does this submit button do? :P

p.s good job

Seems like no one likes to do anything related to hex :( but anyways nice app Tycko if I was still researching and learning hex I would use this for sure :wink:

Thanks guys :)

BTW, in case my names weren't clear enough for people.......

12: --Reflexive number, not really important, but I put it in there anyways

Reflexive: 288 --The offset that the reflexive is located at (in dec)

Offset: 0 --The translated offset of the reflexive

Nested Offset: 0 --If the reflexive is nested, this is the offset from the start of chunk it is in. If not nested, 0

Next: 14256 --Next translated offset in the meta (not always the next offset in the list)

Parent: 0 --If nested, Parent reflexive. if not nested, 0

Chunk Count: 99 --Number of chunks (wow that one was hard....)

Chunk Size: 144 --Size of chunks (might not be exactly right if there is padding in the reflexive, but it'll be close)

|Interflexive| scenarios\itmc\stuff (or |Reflexive) --Reflexive or interflexive. If it is an interflexive, it'll list the tag it points to.

You're too good to calculate them by hand now huh... :P

It be even lazyier if u made a program to repoint reflexes without having to do all the math :wink:
