I did what you described exactly, and yes I use Notepad++ since I'm a modder in general, and still nothing. NET Framework version?īTW what do you use to edit the textfile types like XMLs and the ERADEF? I use the Notepad++ program, pretty stable, free, and doesn't mess with any formatting or other stuff when editing your files.Īnd do make sure you didn't let any typos or accidental deletion of for instance a quotation mark slip by when you edited the ERADEF file (or any other file for that matter). Maybe it's a MS Visual C++ version you're missing, or something like a Microsoft. Saved, dragged the ERADEF file onto the PhxGui,ĭidn't mess with the other settings at any time,Īnd still no rebuilt modded ERA file in your output folder?īTW, PhxGui and the PhxTool.exe did not like Administrator rights in any form, they should probably be launched normally without those compatibility settings. (there are other file types you can also mess with of course), Made sure the ERADEF file was referring to the XML file instead of the XMB file Then went into the folders where the extracted ERA contents are located,
#HALO MODDING TOOLS MOD#
Then dragged the Halo Wars EXE file onto it to make the mod friendly version, Set up the two folders you want it to dump extracted and rebuilt ERA files,
#HALO MODDING TOOLS ZIP FILE#
You extracted PhxGui and all it's components from the zip file somewhere, Maybe you need to share with us how you did all that, step by step, like the tutorial. Soldier:I did all that, and my output folder is always empty when I try to rebuild the eradef files.
Both HMT and Eschaton allow for users to add their own plug-ins to fine tune variables in their modding using XML files created by the modders themselves.Originally posted by A. HMT last release was for a 3.5 build which was "stable" in some aspects but still would crash on know occasions.
HMT is still used widely today by many of the newer modders who are coming late into the modding scene since its interface is more simplified allowing users to simply check boxes of what they want to do but does not have the wide range of edits needed by more advanced users who prefer Eschaton. Eventually a program name Eschaton was released that made the PMI process more simplified to which HMT was forced to take a back seat to the more experienced modders since Eschaton could do the work HMT did in a fraction of the time. The main purpose of this program during its peak was to do PMI and "skin" maps to allow users to make custom maps as we spoke of before. wav editors such as Goldwave or Audacity. HMT still does have the power to edit sounds like it was meant to from the beginning with the addition of a few codecs needed to read the Xbox ADCPM format and custom. This would allow items from one map being able to be placed into another map and taking effects from a cinema scene and using them for in game effects as well. map file editor allowing modders to change many variables about their game revolving around changing variables such as ammo counts, health, swapping effects on items and editing in game textures to name a few.Īnother huge thing that allowed for custom maps using HMT was being able to PMI ( Perfect Model Injection) items from one map into another greatly effecting game play and enviroments users would play in. After many refinements to the program it then turned into a. HMT ( Halo Modding Tools) is a program by MonoxideC that originally began as a modding program to edit sound files in the game Halo 1 for the PC.
