Questions Regarding Halo 2 Map Modifications : Intermediate

Post by Solarfusion »

Just a few questions regarding map modding.

1. How does one insert new Sceneries with regards to Sky images?

2. Can one increase the effect sizes? Example : Rocket Explosions scaling.

3. How can one insert/duplicate scenery items without sacrificing another tag/scenery?

4.What are chunks, what are there purpose, how are they used?

Thank you, I may have more questions later but for now that is it. I may update it as time goes on.

I can answer number four simply.

Chunks are basically just a chunk of meta information that tells the tag what to do.
Here's an example. In the scenario tag of each mp map there is a Netgame Equipment (Collections) Reflexive (A reflexive is the whole group on chunks). Now in that there are somewhere from 30-80 chunks depending on what map. Now map editors usually make a drop down list of the number of chunks. Now each number equals a amount of meta information.
So basically a chunk is a amount of meta in the reflexive of a tag.
