Very nice app! I'm really liking the layout. Haven't modded much on it yet, but it looks fantastic!

p.s. On the next version, could you make the area with all the tags so you can expand it more horizontally? Like drag the edge to the right. I hope you understand.

edit: also for next version, make it so you can use your own kv.bin for the signing?

Oh sorry about that, fixed.
As for the splitter, I'll be sure to add it next update.

I'll test this out tomorrow when I get in from work and give you feedback. It looks nice though. Great job. I'm glad you don't need the halo 3 maps to use this... I'm still trying to get my halo 3 onto the computer (unsuccessfully).

Looks nice. When you extract/inject coordinates, does that include all the rotation stuff?

Also, it might just be me, but the "Place at Start" box never seems to be checked.

I'd just like to say this looks pretty well created. Super you have come a long way from your beginning and I am certainly impressed. Keep up the great work! Your doing great and are already becoming a good asset to the halo-modding community!

Try a diffrent user map. I'm pretty sure it's the one your using. Upload and PM me a link and I'll trace it down to figure out the problem.

Thanks Kibito.

I have to say my favorite time during the development of this app was when the placement chunk features were added:p. I just loaded all the canvases onto my PC then just started up pan cam as a sort of bsp viewer and added chunks w/ co ords from it :p

It is a debug camera mode built into the game by bungie. It displays information such as speed moving, co ords, etc. If youd like to try it, go to my fileshare there is a film that enables it.

Oh, that's awesome. What's your gamertag?

Great app.

Question:
Can you successfully change the run time minimum/maximum? i.e. make a projectile spawn more than once or make it spawn at a specific time in-game?
