I've been bored lately and seen all these progs being made so I thought I would make mine myself. I call it Halo PC Tools because.... well... it does many Halo PC Tools and... umm... yea - Have a look for yourself - It was just for fun so I know it sucks ;p

thats really cool, but not so useful now that the HEK came out, but i guess this means that you know how to code this type of thing, and will be working on something bigger and better to help improve the HEK(PS: a better user interface for tool that can use all the commands)
Good Job Again

What we need is a better map editor for retail version, CE is all well and good but until some decent patches are done, the servers aren't ALL going to go CE, besides ... its easier to mod retail rather than CE ... for newbies I mean, so which do you think they are going to use/mod?

I've been looking at some of monos source code ... I wanted to create a new version of the tag editor, and combine dependency swapping, like HHT offers, HMT can be dodgy with dependency swapping... swapping metadata ID's can only get you so far without exceptions, dependency swapping with HHT makes it seem more reliable.

Anyways a new version of the tag editor would include all the previous elements, be more streamlined for basic use (for newbies) so for example you highlight a tag and instead of having to change the three drops downs to say obje devi mach.....you'd change it to machine....

Plus, I don't know the viability, but automated metadata importing would own ...

(Hyperthetically)

Click on Import, select a .map file, select a tag from the resource viewer, click import, and in the background the program does:

A: Extracts current map file
B: Opens selected map file
C: Extracts import selection recursively
D: Moves files from a temp folder to initially extracted map temp folder...
E: Rebuilds map file
F: Deletes temporary folders
G: Opens new map

That would be kinda cool, cos then importing a wraith would be effortless, minus the PMI bit of course...but hyperthetically the process I think is possible...

All these ideas and I haven't a clue how to program them *sigh*, besides, probably wouldn't be worth it, what with HEK and Halo 2....

Hmm speaking of Halo 2.... You wonder how fast we will learn and make tools for Halo 2...
