Strange... That happens with every modding app except Eschaton 0.6.x when the header isn't a full header, but that probably has nothing to do with it...

Harbinger is designed for full version only. It needs all of the maps from full to convert properly. If you're going to attempt it with the severely tag deficient demo maps they need to have full version headers.

I don't think that would work. Harbringer needs to look for all the necessary tags it can find from Halo Full doesn't it? If anything, you would need to demo hack all of your Halo Full maps.

It needs maps with full version headers because it's designed for full version and needs all the data from full version to convert correctly. You can try to trick it by demo-hacking the demo maps to full, which will not completely convert a map, but any tags that are missed during the conversion (missed 1's) will be injected into the new map with a size 0 and an accurate offset (as opposed to the index value). So an incomplete conversion is readable by HHK. Which means you could export and import tags from the incomplete conversion. But again I must stress, the application is designed for full version use only. It was never intended to work with demo as demo doesn't have all of the data necessary for 99% of conversions. This is just an unexpected side effect.

Worked perfectly as in did an incomplete conversion that works with HHK allowing people to rip the tags they need. You need full to actually play maps.
