Just Convert the Halo CE map to PC and use HMT that way, then revert it.

thx alot. it works but a few thing id like to know.


y do i get a "system out of memory" error when i try to extract things?

can u do everything u can do to a converted map as a regular map?

does this mean u can use CE maps in regular and vice versa?

No sir. First off, in HMT, you can recursively Extract Tags, so you have to know which ones it needs, second, you can not play those maps in regular halo. There are probably many things I'm missing, but you get the point.

I don't think you can PMI into a CE map, never tried, but you can take tags from a CE map like I made a flat metal peice of scenery in halo CE, and I put it into a mod for PC, as simple as that, just make sure you have all of the required tags for that, because like I said earlier, you can't recursively extract from a CE map. So, if you have HEK+ use that to extract the tags from the map into a folder so you know which ones to extract from the map in HMT, sorry if that is confusing. :?

i already have HEK+ and thats what i used to extract the tags into the folder already. i just cant decrap the modles because the mod2 file u have to extract from the CSV file doesnt actrually extract.

could you actually get this CSV file to extract an object cause untill i find out y mine wont, im stuck.

also without making another post, do you know how to make a gun use a laser to sight instead ofd a redicle?

dude thx alot, that helps alot with no errors and not needing to conver the maps. but now i got a few questions about that. do i need to decrap files i extract still like with HMT? it doesnt have that option so im guessing no. also when i reduild map, what do i enter at the top 4 lines?

Yes, if you want a new model in a map, then you have to follow the procedures of PMI'ing it in. but, if it's just like a custom shader, no you can just rebuild it inside the map.

im modding a bloodgultch maps with as many weapons i think are really good. so i downloaded a bunch of weapon tags from halomaps.com. do i just add all the tags when i rebuild the map? what do i do with them? also do i have to decra them cause the .mod2.meta file wasnt in any of the weapons.

Um, firstly the weapon tags can only be used in the HEK, second, you won't get a mod2.meta file unless you extract from a halo PC map. and third, just use HHT to extract the files from the CE map, after you put the weapons into the map of course, then, rebuild them as you would into a PC map.

So many people just don't get it. HMVC changes the header of the map so it's openable and editable in HMT. It's still not playable for halo pc. Use harbinger for that.

WTF are you talking about. It has been proven to work. If you want a perfectly unlocked HMT just use freaking guerilla.
