HMT.v3

[Oh-bama]

Simple question, Can HMT.v3 import tags? because I know I can export them I've done it before- just want to know before I screw up this map.

[TaxiService]

I am not sure about that. Why using HMT though? Are you the same guest of some days ago? the one who requested the hayabusa biped into a map?

I believe there is Eschaton for windows too, if that's the case. :-\

[Cressel]

Yea I am, but Eschaton isn't running properly and every time I try to load a tag its freezes at 1%

[TaxiService]

what. ·_· what version of eschaton are you using? try getting the .8.1 or .8.2 from here.

[Sparky]

Sorry but I just tested Eschaton (windows version) with loading some tags I made, and it failed with an error:


And regarding "screwing up this map", as Kayar suggested, "Always keep backups!"

Make sure you never have halo open when you are modding it on windows too.

[TaxiService]

oh what?! that sucks!


I wonder where did Altimit go…

Define "some tags I made" because if you're trying to load CE tags that just won't work. The error message indicates that it's trying to load an XML file but was unable to find an XML element where it expected one.

No im not using CE tags. I got the tags from http://www.halodemomods.com/wiki/Tag_Database the hayabusa biped. I do Load Tag Recusivly (or what ever its called) and it freezes at 1%

I know How to do basic mods such as changing attributes and Skins and replacing certain things like Models that have the same vertices---- but Tags like the Hayabusa and custom weapons I have trouble with

@TaxiService I tried all versions and sadly they all failed and froze at 1% (the ones that LET me load a tag)

I just want to know and get some information on HMT.v3 since Eschaton isnt working properly

[TaxiService]

Well, the last time i used HMT was before Eschaton was given the import feature. :-\ And even then, HHK was used to import things into a map!
Here on mac the last HMT version we had was 2.5, i believe!

Anyway, try experimenting! Load the map with the hayabusa in it in HMT and… try to see if there is some sort of Export function. Something like "Recursively export" or something. If you can find it, select the bipd tag you want and export it in some folder.
Then load your mod and see if there's a "Recursively import" function. Go select the biped tag you exported and then the folder where you saved all the data and… i don't know, try saving or something!!


i mean, gah! i'm sorry! i don't know HMT for windows and i don't remember HMT for mac.

Sounds to me like a personal problem. I don't know what tag sparky is loading so I can't verify that. But the linked tag set loads just fine using Win7 and Esch 0.8.1 win, selecting H3_Hayabusa_Biped\H3 Elite Biped\h3r\characters\spartans\hayabusa.bipd.meta and selecting "H3 Elite Biped" as the top level folder. H3_Hayabusa_Biped is taking a long time to transverse so I can't speak to whether it will resolve or error out.

I extracted the tags in Eschaton (mac) and tried to import them with Eschaton (windows) and it failed. This might be revealing an issue of a lack of cross-compatibility between different platforms of Eschaton.

well, nothings working...just one question changing the subject, How can I make passenger seats enable you to see in 3rd person rather than 1st?
