wishing for a better map editor

[halonerd12]

ok. i've been thinking (again) about building a new halo map editor. the big thing about this one would be it automates different tasks. (halo ce map converting anybody?)

anyway i've also got (finally!) some programming experience. But i'm a little lost on how to read a halo map file. this is what i believe i would have to do:

1.) open the file as a binary file
2.) read the tags based on position
3.) change the tags.


i'm also not sure whether or not to just mod Eschaton's source. any tips or comments? i'd appreciate feed-back

And here I thought you were ROUS for a bit. Check my site for a basic tutorial about how the map file is designed. Here
