I want to load the whole halo 2 map in to a text Editor i made, but it only loads the 'daeh' part any Help?

EDIT: Sorry IN C# Visual Studio 2008 (not-beta);

Learn basic map file structure first. And go to the eschaton website, it has a lot of info on how to go about breaking everything down. idk about h2 though
edit: http://forums.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=38615 try that

and it sounds like you're trying to load it with a filestream object, that only loads text, in this case, the first four bytes of the header (daeh = head)
What you want to use is a binary reader.

EDIT: what do you mean "Eschaton Website"

Most likely here. It's for H1 though.

I highly suggest reading some of this as well.

It's not source code, It's a rough idea of what you're supposed to do to read the map. Just read it and try to understand what it says, then convert it to C#
