I'd like to know if in BlamLib there's a way to check if a map is protected before opening them. I just added a test class for cache extraction, and am seeing what can be done about that particular thing.
Edit: Also, I'm interested in FP animations... does anyone know if there's a way to find out what animation is playing?
I haven't integrated the rolling-version-changer stuff into production code yet. I'd recommend writing a simple C# app that applies the changes you make so you're not releasing dedi.exe after dedi.exe...(and that allows you to change the app's build info too, so people know when it's old or new)Quote:

If he flags the map as protected somewhere in the cache header then I can see about adding support for them. If the only "flag" is that 'prot' thing I asked for way-back, then it will take some tweaking/hacking to the tag header/instances loading code.Quote:

How would I get CheApe?
use OpenSauce IDEQuote:

The thing you want is "CheApe Applier" under the Tools menu. Click it, select Halo1_CE as the engine in the popup dialog, then specify all the paths. It will then apply the changes needed to copies of the selected source HEK exes (eg, tool and/or guerilla and/or sapien) then output the results to the specified directory.
Note: Just think of the native CheApe dlls as the CheApe runtime and the interfaces provided by the OpenSauceIDE as the CheApe SDK (tools).
From there you can use the main CheApe interface in OpenSauceIDE to build tag_groups.map cache files. You'd again select Halo1_CE as the engine in the popup dialog then use the CheApe project editor to build your additional editor data that will be used by the CheApe runtime proper.
To give some history on CheApe: It initially began (around this same time, back in 2006) as a Guerilla-only modification as sort of a proof-of-concept for allowing designers to document tag definitions. I started off with only allowing new tag groups to be defined (instead of overriding existing ones, which is what a designer would need the ability to do in order to markup the tags with their own comments and such) and went from there (never really did work on allowing it to override existing tag groups since it was no longer a PoC project). Eventually I added tool and sapien support and eventually added support for things besides custom tag groups (eg, custom scripting definitions and HEK EXE fixups). I kept the tag_groups.map name just for legacy's sake, though I probably could have gone with "CheApeCache.map" or whatever instead.
He can't compile LowLevel.dll, his boost set up is borked or something.
I could certainly write a patcher but my question was really, do you have any idea how I could fix this problem we are having?Quote:

Edit: Dwood helped me with this problem, you need the CheApe dll files in the Halo CE root Directory as well as OpenSauceIDE's files as well
