Try dependency swapping the jpt! tag in the proj: weapons\plasma pistol\bolt from jpt!: weapons\plasma pistol\bolt to jpt!: weapons\flamethrower\impact damage. That might work.

Tools ftl, try hexing it. Hex=h4x.

Try this, search for "effe" in ascii, and play around.

This is for all of the newer modders of Halo Demo. If you're going to mod, please start using Hex. You'll feel so much better, because you can say that you didn't use tools, you took the challenge of Hexadecimal, and accomplished what you ever wanted to do.

It's really just that tools are much easier to use - therfore, people want to do stuff easily so they use tools. Other times there is no choice but to use tools such as doing CE imports or PMIing stuff.

But, all in all...Hex is still much better. :)

I'll agree that hex is more powerful, and learning how to hex is very important. But once you understand what's going on, I'd say there's no real reason to use hex for things that a program can do much quicker. If you really wanted to, it'd be quite possible to PMI by hand. It'd just take a long time and require lots of information. It's like derivatives for those who learn the calculus. Use the limit definition when you're first learning, but then use the power rule afterwards.

I'll never hex a bitmask again let me tell you that.

Cuz you can use my Bitmask Converter, noob :P jk

But yeah, I agree, once you know hex, use tools. On the other hand, what is the point of using the tools for some stupid index swap? Really...who needs a tool for that. When it comes to PMIing then hell yes, tools w/o a doubt.

HMT is an automatic save. Bear this in mind when modding as once you make any changes, HMT saves. So BACK UP YOUR MAPS.

When I took the challenge of Hexadecimal everyone didn't think it was possible that I could've done all the spawn point changes that I did in so little time, lol.

Everyone thought I used SparkEdit for PC...
