HEK???

I cant understand how guerilla and sapien could possibly be used to edit CE maps like HMT and HHT do..... how do you use these. ive used search for u smarta....... i used search. And ive tried looking up tutorials, i dont want to BUILD A WHOLE map , just edit the normal halo ce ones. I find it very challenging to BUILD maps.

You cant edit the existing CE maps with HEK. It's not a map editor, they're tag builders/compilers.

HEK+ will allow you to extract tags, which you can then edit, and re-compile, but thats as close as you'll get to modding in the PC sense.

If you wanted to use HMT and HHT, why not just use PC?

Ok heres why. On halomaps.org i see blood gulch maps that havent been like remodeled or anythin,l its the same shape n stuff of the bloodgulch map. The weapons have jsut been changed.... i want to do this.

Why not just use sparkedit on PC.

Oh, and

HEK+ will allow you to extract tags, which you can then edit, and re-compile

You have to extract the tags with HEK+, a seperate download, then edit them, then recompile the map with tool.

Got any tuts taht will show me how to extract the tags and recompile with tool? also where can i get HEK+

[DeadHamster]

search halomaps for HEK+, and search for a tutorial in the CE section on putting AI into multiplayer maps. That's a good way to start, it'll explain how to put AI into an existing MP map, and if you pay attention to what you're doing it should be easy to do anything else, as long as you understand for the most part how tags work.

2.In the explorer select all the directories. Now right click and choose extract to, and clcik the three dots next to the extraction folder box, now find the tags folder in the CE folder you made earlier and click ok. Now your map is ripped to tags so it may be recompiled later. wtf i dont get it. i cant figure out the part where it says in the explorer right click, cuz in the map explorer it wont let me F****** right click wtf is that

drag a selection box over all folders then right click and select add to extraction que.
Then click the extract button and hek+ should start extracting.

[GoreGoreGadget]

Thats jsut it... there is no extraction box or anything it wont let me highlight more than one folder at a time.

[DeadHamster]

click the first folder, shift+click the bottomn folder, right click, extract

if you still need help post this in the CE section, this has nothing to do with PC.

I think he means windows explorer, which can be accessed by right clicking start and then choosing explore all user.
