niZon has made a Converter so that you can automaticlly convert halo ce maps into regular pc maps. Its called Map convert CE. you can get it at http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?p=63729
This makes life so much easier instead of hex editing.

I thought we were looking for a program to do the opposite of that... why would you want to change a halo ce to a halo pc?

even if you get them to work, the layout of the tag structure I think may be different, so there'd need to be some sort of conversion, because essentially they use the same stuff....just need to find out how to convert them into CE compatible tags and then we can get wraith etc in...there are already models I believe for wraith etc, so all we'd need is the coll, phsy, etc to get them to work.

Ok i guess i didn't explain it well but yah you can change them from ce to pc and back. That way you can do all the mods you want and then just change it back so you can play in ce.

Ok, so if you change the file header, you can import a wraith through the regular means then change the header back and play with wraith in CE MP?

If not, then theres no point, because there is already a much more powerful tag editor than HMT...

How so? With what?

well actually i found that you can't change the bitmaps cause hmt crashes but you can do basically everything else.
