What is HHT? I found it in the files forum but what is it for? I can't open any CE maps in it - how is it different than HMT?

Is there ever going to be a way to edit CE maps without making a completely new map - like you can in PC?

Thanks

I would say the chance in that is slim to none. The people who work hard to make their maps really don't like it when someone can go in and rip all the content out of it. So I doubt you will see any progs released that will allow this. There are ways of doing it , but I'm not going into it. Either way you will not be able to open the program in Sparkedit anyway. Best bet is to get GMAX and make your own level and populate in Sapien..

HHT is a bit more precise than HMT. You guys should try it out sometime.

HHT = Halo Hacker Tools. Best program if you wish to swap models.

And there are already programs that let you edit CE maps. HMTv3.5 can edit it, but you have to do some hex editing first. And if you are talking about moving things around in the level (as in sending it to a .scenario file) then the makers of those specific programs will refuse to release it.

Try asking the map maker for the .scenario file. If he's done, and is nice, then you may get it (to at least play around)

Asking about ripping tags from a map and putting them into another is a no-no.

Map authors work hard on their tags, and don't want them stolen. If you want them, ask them yourselves. If they give it to you, alright! There ya go! You've got what you want! If not, well, too bad. No ripping them.
