Post by NiceeJumpers » Mon Aug 03, 2009 4:05 am

I Know theres Already one, But i Wanted to Make one Because i Learned how to import one, and also i thought

Need :
HHK (Halo Hacking Kit)

The Tags You Want To import
(*These Can Be Found in Fonzie's Mod Pack*)
Eschaton (i Use 0.8)
*Optional :
Swordedit
Dont Need :
Fat People (Just Kidding)

1. Back Up Your Maps (i Always Do)

2. Put The Tags You Want into The Same Folder As the Map you Want to import it into

3. Now First Open Demo Hack, and Load the Map Your Using, and Click Full

4. Then Open HHK (Halo Hacking Kit), Load Your Map, and On the Top Click on Tools
Then Click Import

5. Using Big Base (Base1), Follow This Path : Mota's Tag Pack V1>Buildings>Big Base>Tags>Base1>Base1.scene
ANOTHER Window Will Pop Up Choose : Big Base>Tags | Click Choose

6. Save & Quit HHK (You Should Know What it is By Now)

7. Open Your Map in Halo Mapping Tools, Scroll to the Tag 'Mod2' and Click The Carrot; Choose Base 1, and

And in the bottom right hand corner
Click the Arrow and choose base1\base1
Then Click Swap

12. Load it in SwordEdit and Look Where The Desert Tree Where The Blue Side is and There Should Be a Base
Move it Around I Dont Care ; But if Theres A Problem With This One Try This One :
Importing Tags Into a Map

1. Choose the tags you want and put the folder with your bloodgulch.map

2. Convert your Blood Gulch to full with demo hack

3. Open your map in HHK then in tools import recursively and go this path-
using 8 story building as example.

A second pop up will come up select the 8 floor buildings tags folder and press choose/open once again. Save an quit HHK

4. Open your map in HMT. Go to mod2 an find your 8 floor building.
click it then press inject meta and go this path.

Mota's tags pack-Building-8 floor building-mod2-building-8floors then choose 8floors.mod2.meta then inject it

You got the now obselete method right :)

Eschaton 0.8 now does exactly the same thing I believe. :D
The armaments which thunderstrike the walls
And monarchs tremble in their capitals.
The oak leviathans, whose huge ribs make
Of lord of thee, and arbiter of war;
Alike the Armada's pride, or spoils of Trafalgar.

Yep.

0.8

Yeah, the old fashion way is also the longest way :roll: . In current day, we can use JUST eschaton. Espeically with these new versions, such as 7.2, or 0.8.

Because people also know HHK handles tag dependencies and not loneIDs or what's actually going on when you decrap a model amiright?

I tried everything in the tutorial, but it came up with this message when trying to save in HHK: "unresolved meta reference: " base1/base1""
What did I do wrong?

I did it several times and made sure that i selected the correct folder. I followed the tutorial step by step, exactly as it said, but it still gave that same warning.

Then either something was missing in the folder, or maybe your folder is incorrect, usually that's the problem, see if you can select another folder. the direct one

Tutorial can be unclear, un-specific, and a little too centralized on a case-by-case basis.

While it'd not bad, I'd still go by Beast's Pelican tutorial.
