Darkmatter is for halo 2. Its somewhat advanced with its MODE and SBSP viewer, but its as slow as hell. Prometheus will most definately be faster once it gets released. If your looking for a Halo 1/CE/PC BSP viewer, use Spark Edit.

go to the files forum, make an account, then go to the utilities forum. It should be sitting right there.

click the sbsp tag then go to raw data editor. That should work I havent used it in a long time. People correct me if I'm wrong.

Shared.map = your halo 2 CD.
And you dont need to click Raw Data Editor, just simply click the SBSP tag and it will open after a while.
Xapien can also look at the BSP, but it cannot edit it.

you can do it one of two ways. 1# put the halo 2 cd into your computer and open it up in ther the shared.map will be in the map folder. your computer needs a dvd reader. 2# you put the halo 2 cd into your xbox and open up the program you us to ftp thing to your xbox. connect to your xbox and go into the D folder/maps/ and ther it is. your evox dashbord needs to be on. and you may need to chang your ip addres so you can connect.
