If you wanted to, you can change the text for the Size to this...

Size.Text = "Map Size: " & Math.Round(HaloMap.DecompressedSize / 1000) / 1000 & " MB"

Just change the blue text to whatever your Text Label is Pointing to. :D That is for VB.

C#

Size.Text = Math.Round(HaloMap.DecompressedSize / 1000) / 1000 + " MB";

Again, Just change the blue text to whever your text label is pointing to. :D


It makes it so it turns out like this: Map Size: 44.560 MB. Looks better then 46724546.

So does this mean no hexing needed at all for the whole beginning to end of a conversion?

Cause I have to do over 300 >.<

Umm i think once you open the map and edit the bsp offset, bsp size, and bsp magic, then close the map, I dont think you can re-open it in the app. I think, please tell me if im wrong or right.

BTW, wat does the "Raw Editor" do?

Its worked fine for me you might get an error when you first open the map to change the magic but you can just press continue and go ahead and change it.. at least it worked fine for me when i did.
The raw editor makes it easy to relink all the raw files to the bsp after you have both the new raw and bsp meta in your map.

Well, I am truly determined to get this bsp conversion down. So i made a video tutorial on all that i do. This time i didnt even bother using the tutorial you made shade due to the fact I have basically memorized the entire document because of so many times I have attempted this and failed. If you have time to do so, please download this 5 min video on my tutorial to see if I'm doing anything wrong.

BTW, I KNOW I have forgotten about 5 steps. Don't scream too loud when you see all my errors please cause its late. :wink:

Thx a trillion for being concerned when I know you have better things to do.

I watched the video and i see a couple little mistakes but for the most part your doing it right. What program did you use to capture that video becouse ill make a little video tut to go along with my bsp conversion tut, that way you can compare between mine and yours

Ok well thats good news. I'm very eager to see where I went wrong.

BTW, I got this **** from www.download.com and therefore its just a trial. Here is the specific link.

WinRar is perfect for compressing the video as well because the video is 55mbs but rared its 7 mbs. =P

If you make a video tut shade, could you please use a larger BSP in the tut. I don't think people know the necessary changes that are needed to be made to convert a larger SP BSP.
