H2Edit is a program similar to MonoxideC's HMT and Cluis's HHT but built for Halo 2 map files.  I wrote this program to give modders a chance to easily mod map files.


Changes since Beta 1:
1.  Lots of bug fixes.
2.  Bitmap Viewing, extracting, and injecting.
3.  Now handels the bsp(s) (You can extract the bsp or changes the dependencies within the app).
4.  The encryption signature is fixed when the map is closed (only if changes have been made to the map) or you can choose to fix is manually.
5.  Meta extracting and injecting now using xml files for dependencies instead of a text file.
6.  Added Insert Blank space into meta.


Current Features:
1.  Meta Extraction (Regular, Recursive and, Batch).
2.  Meta Injection.
3.  Tag Editor (Supports HMT, HHT, and CH2R plugins).
4.  Dependency/LoneID swapping.
5.  Insert blank space into meta.
6.  Fixes the Encryption Signature (automaticly does this when the map is closed and changes have been made).
7.  Extracts, view, and injects most bitmaps.
8.  Extracts most sounds.
9.  Hex Utilities (+magic, -magic, swap endian and, convert between hex and dec).


Known bugs or issues:
1.  Some bitmaps won't extract or view (If the size is strange like 207x13) and some bumpmaps don't seem to extract either.
2.  Some sounds won't extract (If the size is negative, it won't work).


Future Features:
1.  Ident swapping.
2.  Map rebuilding.
3.  Model extraction and injection.
4.  Sound injection.
5.  A help system with Tutorials.
6.  As Allways, find bugs and fix them.



If you are interested in helping me, I am looking for people who are good with a hex editor.
Also if you have any suggestions or bugs to report, please let me know.



Warning: This application may eat your maps.  I take no responsibility for what it does. lol
