Reference: Tag Hierarchies

[Sparky]

I know this will come in very handy for all of us. This is a list of tag hierarchies, meaning the order of tag references.

(To be continued, I'll need more time with this; I also want to place these in some hierarchical order for you. The tags below include all their references, listing the very most references that any given tag will have. Some of these are nulled, and I will incorporate this fact into the final hierarchical list.)

Code: Select all

*Note: snd! references can almost always be swapped with lsnd references. Other tags vary. Special chainspawning tags usually modify an effe tag to include an unusual reference, like projectiles.*

Oh, the fog tag, I forgot! Can anyone remind me where that one is referenced - whether the sbsp or the scnr?

EDIT: It's in the sbsp tag.

[Altimit01]

Now here's something that's super duper secret: there are 11 tags plus all the SBSP tags which nothing else references. If you read those tags in the correct order, and process the dependencies in the order they appear relative to reflexives (not necessarily the order they appear in the tag and processing in a depth-first not a breadth-first manner) you can generate the entire tag list of a halo map file in the correct order. Don't spread it around.

[Sparky]

Does that include scripts? I think those are referenced in the sbsp or scnr only. If it's the scnr, then I guess not. It wouldn't make sense, anyway, I think. I forgot where Sapien compiles them. I just read a tutorial on that, too!

[Altimit01]

Scripts are just sections of the scnr tag. Conure did some research on it but I don't think posted anything.

[draconic74]

Now make a correct tree. And by that I mean:

Code: Select all

weap
   mod2
      (shaders)
   antr
      snd!
         snd!
      soso
         bitm
   coll
      effe
         snd!
            snd!
         part
            bitm
               (bitmap/shaders)
            pphy
            foot
               snd!
               effe
            effe
               snd!
               part
               deca
         deca
               deca
               bitm
                  (bitmaps/shaders)
   phys
(...etc)
   shdr
   effe
   foot
   snd!
   jpt!
   actv
   wphi
   proj
   ligh
   flag
   glw!
   bitm

I will be very impressed...

Code: Select all

snd! references can almost always be swapped with lsnd references.

what?! that's not true! D:

i mean... where? can you give me an example? it never worked for me. >.<

[Excend]

I agree, looping sounds shouldn't work in place of triggered sounds. It crashes when I try.

[draconic74]

Speaking of crashes, apperently you cant null bitmaps, only their higher-ups. Weird.

I can't null out shaders, I can only null bitmaps >_>

modding became an opinion! D:

You can easily null shaders. You just change the tag class to "weap" and select "Assault Rifle."

[TaxiService]

^ that should not be considered "nulling".

from now on, we will consider that action "killing" a tag. <_< or... someone has a better term to propose?

Thanks, I'll try it.
