Is anyone working on a new HMT for CE?
Cos like a mix of Halo PC and Halo CE compatibility would be awesome, I even had the idea of programming a sort of halo map studio...where a lot of items are wizard based and the procedures automated...
Like for example, SP->MP conversions, you'd just fill in a wizard, and it would process files etc for you....
But its probably too much work....and not worth it considering halo 2 is not too far away, and with HEK and CE....
Just thought it would be an interesting idea, no more newbs asking questions etc lol
HMT CE Compatibility??

lol, I knew about that, u can't batch extract etc with compatibility for CE with the current HMT, *THATS* what I'm talking about, don't assume I'm a newb 'next time'.peabnuts123 wrote:u CAN open CE maps with hmt...
just a lil work that takes 20 secs at the most.
read next time.
The map header switching isnt compatibility, thats fooling HMT into thinking its a valid map, it cannot edit all the tags properly, and can't batch extract.
I am downloading Visual Studio 2003 Architect Edition so when I have that I'm going to open up HMT source, and build a new map editor....
sort of a combination of hht and hmt....they use similiar features....so its going to combine a tag editor, a dependency swapper (hht's is better than hmt's I think) and routines....
What that will do is say you wanted to import a wraith into your map...
you select import, select a map file, select a tag, and it will auto-extract the metadata, extract the map your working on...place the temporary metadata into the build, then build it....
if you realise you've made a mistake you can revert to a backup....if you realise you have made a mistake, and can choose to take a step back, and remove items from the current step....if you would like to add something (which in hmt you couldn't really without starting from scratch) it will add the item by creating a new build, with all the previous items you've added plus the new one in with it....so in effect it appears as though you have added an item....
routines will do this, and it will hopefully be some sort of scripting....so they will be in sort of plugin form...
Well, I can dream about all that... lol
Naw I'll give it a go....once I've had a good look at the source of HMT 3, might need help doing it...

I didn't need to indicate it, if you assumed that I didn't know about the header switching, then you can't have known HMT doesn't have full compatibility with CE maps ...peabnuts123 wrote:next time b4 u say 'dont assum in a n00b next time' read your own post so you can see you have no indecation thgat yoiu know that, all you say is that you want a HCET program.
And dude, look at your posts.... dont assum in a noob? lol....indecation? (indication) tghat, youi....

Erm, it wasn't a come back, it was a suggestion to look at some of your posts, because your obviously just blurting/typing it out at twice the rate that your brain can keep up with lol, and I didn't take 4 hours dude, I've been asleep for the past 10 hours....peabnuts123 wrote:just cus i dont type well, doesnt mean to say im a n00b
i never said U were a n00b anyway.
and what sorta come back is that? it took you about 4 HOURS to think that up?
jeezus christ...
I didn't say you were a n00b either, I said that if you are assuming I didn't know about the header switching then you must not know that HMT is not fully compatible with CE, because otherwise you'd know I was talking about that.
But no, you assumed, and you assumed again that I was calling you a n00b, listen, if I wanted to call you a n00b, I'd do it outright, and say it....I wouldn't piss about.
Look dude if you can't help me, don't reply here....don't waste your precious knowledge
