HMT for CE

[noobsrus]

This probably a really stupid question, but is there something that's like HMT that works for Halo CE maps? Because I heard HHT did that but when I tried to open a CE map in that I got some error message.

You can use HEK+ to extract the tags (unless the map is protected), then make your changes in Guerilla/Sapien, save the tags, then recompile the map in Tool.

but is there anyway to quickly do simple stuff like switching weapons?

Not that I know of, sorry.

You can modify Halo CE maps in Halo Map Tools, but you'll need to use a hex editor to trick HMT into opening them.

You can follow jimmsta's tutorial on how to do this. *Link*

Or you can just use Zenaku213's program, HeaderH4x, which automatically converts the builds of map files. *Link*

o, awesome, thanks

it isnt rel that hard to extract the map in HEK+ so it extracts the .scenario and then opening the .scenario in Geuilla and then u can change the starting weapons and the other weapons in the map. its just getting used to it, it isnt to hard once u know how 2 do it. i could make models or maps 4 my life before but now i can make loads of stuff (maps, scenery, add water in maps, vehicles, bump maps, and soon im learin 2 make sound tags.)
wen u have changed the .scenario n gurilla u just type this in tool:

tool build-cache-file levels\mapname mapname

If you don't wanna HEX it for HMT, Dot halo can open them.
