HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Well I needed to join a bunch of entity info files together to save time, and didn't want to copy and paste all of them. I needed to mess around with a new button in visual studio and I didn't know of any utilities that do this so I wrote a program for myself and others to use.

This allows you to select multiple files with the first dialog box and save them as one file, so you need to move all the ones you need to merge into one folder(I could have used a listbox and another button or something to make it so you could add from more than one folder, but didn't feel like it). Then it opens a save file dialog box to save the new merged info file as. It won't write a file more than once in the new info if more than one of the info's that are being merged have that file.

I included the source with this, It's really nothing special. I commented it, in kind of a wierd way. I didn't write any comments while coding it, then I decided I would release it so I went back through and commented it for extreme beginners.

So here it is, hope it helps somebody with their modding or programming, or both. You do need .Net framework 2.0.

so what does this do in one newby short sentence

lol

it makes it so when you save 2 or more things in entity you can combine them and build them at once

Yeah, it can save time on building things into your map, you don't have to click build, wait for the MessageBox, then click build and wait again, this will combine all your infos that you need into one, and you only have to click build once then.
