No, sandbox.map is the file name for all forge maps. And a cache file is basically a playable level that is packaged with tool.

Not sure if he's going to go public with it.

I guess It wouldn't hurt to release it. I'm sure some people are interested in how the usermaps work. I just don't need any more spam asking how to mod

Maybe if I get some time I'll post it. But for now I'm off to get drunk

Another happy birthday and don't drink and drive.

Also, there's still an error that occurs when you click weapons such as the spartan laser. I know the plugin isn't fully done, but maybe make it like other tags without plugins and nothing comes up.

He explained why the support weapons give an error. It is caused by a reflex that has an extra chunk reference that does not point to any meta. So, I'm sure that's somewhere on his to-do list.

Question: Why does everyone want something that will open usermaps so badly? You can't play them.

SPARTAN-OMEGA · Post by **SPARTAN-OMEGA** » Mon Mar 24, 2008 7:23 pm

I just wanna research them, and maybe give a map to you guys for your use, no one else

If you want to research, you should develop it yourself.
They don't need anyone's help with them, so saying you'd make a map for them isn't helping you.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you didn't even know the difference between a cache and a usermap file. What makes you think you're going to map out unknown-undefined values?...
Find another excuse.

No point really. That's why I said earlier it would be useless to release to people without the ability to get their maps resigned.

Just like people who make modded maps so they'll "be ready when a resigner comes out."

That's like saying, why do we want Engineer if we cannot play modded maps?

Because we want it anyway.

No.. Engineer has a plugin system which helps the community research values when ready.

Usermaps are mapped out so much, there really isn't a point.

Oh ok.
Thank you for labeling the entire community as free-loading greedy individuals with no purpose.

Actually I do, I didnt say what was and wasnt cache so therefore you cant judge much...

Thanks Veegie and uknown, also I know it is not a cache file, its a .map file

That statement seems to say that you did not know what a cache file is.

SPARTAN-OMEGA · Post by **SPARTAN-OMEGA** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 4:38 pm

Its kinda of a compressed version of the halo 3 map, if I deleted my cache, it would take longer to load, because you dont have the cache to load the map faster

forge files are user maps
