TagInterface .NET Library by Kornman00

TagInterface.dll - v1.0.6 : .NET 1.1
TagInterfaceV2.dll - v2.0.0 : .NET 2

This provides a generic way to interface with blam engine tags.
The TagInterface assemblies hold the code for loading\saving things.

This is a modeified version of the code I started using
in my personal halo IDE tool almost a year ago (removed loading from map files code)

TagInterfaceDoc.chm has the current info of all the types in TagInterface.dll.

Only 2 or 3 method signatures have changed when upgrading to .NET 2, so I didn't
see the need to create a whole new chm file for it. Also V2.dll hasn't been offically tested, though
no functionality code has been changed drasticly so it should be OK.

Also added a new field called 'Skip' to work with non-byte swapped fields



BlamInterface .NET Library by Kornman00

BlamInterface.dll - v0.2.0.0 : .NET 1.1 (need to build the project to get this DLL)

BlamInterface has some examples of setting up the Tag group collections for a certain game, and defining
tag group definitions for a certain game. The csproj file for this class library was made with VS.NET 2003, but
like always, can be upgraded to the newest verion of VS.NET
Included Tag Groups:
-bitmap
-gbxmodal (although refered as model in the code)
-model_collision_geometry
-model_animation
-sound
-unicode\string_list
-structure_bsp*

* Note: There is bad definition data in this group. Appeas to be a few bytes off in the main definition data (child blocks should be fine though)

static void Main(string[] args)
		{
			BlamInterface.Halo1.model_group model = new BlamInterface.Halo1.model_group();
			Console.WriteLine("Loading...");
			TagInterface.EndianReader tagdef = new TagInterface.EndianReader(@"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\tags\untitled tag.gbxmodel", TagInterface.EndianState.Big);
			tagdef.Position += 64;
			model.Load(tagdef);
			Console.WriteLine("Done");
			Console.WriteLine(model.GetShader(0).Shader.Value);
			Console.ReadLine();
		}
