Add Tags Manually

Post by M.A.T.T. »

Hey,

Im trying to add tags from sp shared to another map, but because sp shared is to big for insolence i cannot transfer the tags i need. Does anyone know a way of manually adding them or another program that can add tags to a map.

Thanks

It's something to do with extracting it from a map. Like the meta or something. Then you open the other map (seperately, not like how Insolence can open both at the same time) and inject it. I don't know exactly how it's done, but that's the gist of it.

The easiest way by far to add tags manually would be to throw them at the eof (end of file) and use an existing tags index to point to the new location. If the tag in question has any interflexes (external reflexives), you will also need to manually parse the tag (internalize external data). Then update the tag information and edit the map header to account for such size changes.
