I am making a program for H2V, but I have NO IDEA how to find offsets. How would I find them?

What offsets do you want to know?

Offsets for the entire map. Something like all the tags in the map.

Eh...isn't that the whole magic behind that?

These kind of things you have to find out yourself...I don't even know every aspect of it.:)

Well you're sure to find offsets in the header of the file. I normally start with mapping obvious ASCII tables to offsets and then go from there.

If you get stuck then look at the current open source editors for H2V. They've most probably based their research off of H2X research anyway, which in turn was based off H1X research...see it's easy now >_>

The program I was working on, in the topic "Program Idea" has the basic map offsets, and the source is included in C# if you're interested.
