One of the most annoying things is organizing tags. Especially downloaded ones, whose authors always like placing them in random folders with their names. This app lets you rename all the tags in a compiled map to be under the directory you list.




EDIT: Some stock bitmaps and sounds that are not internal in the map (meaning the bitmap is in bitmaps.map or sounds.map) may need to be manually re-assigned afterwards as these don't extract proper



This rewrites EVERY tag in the map, and also completely break the map for gameplay purposes. Tag Extraction is unaffected in normal situations. The huge benefit with this over simply manually moving the files, is that the references stay intact, you don't have to manually update the location of each tag with Guerilla.

So, if you type Hamp!

The tag weapons/assault rifle/assault rifle



becomes Hamp!/weapons/assault rifle/assault rifle/




Now when you extract the tags with HEK+, the weapon tag will be in the folders Hamp!>weapons>assault rifle>



You can also set multiple directories, by using the / character. At least on PCs, none of this is tested on the mac version, nor is a real purpose for the program evident.


For example, Hamp!/project_stuff as the directory name becomes Hamp!>project_stuff>






Just figured someone may find this useful. Rewrote Eternal Lightning to make it, this wouldn't be any help in deciphering tags however.

Awesome bro. Will likely be wasted on this hivemind :/

Only appends names, no way to change. Made it very basic/quickly, a friend of mine has been making maps using Eschaton and other PC tools for ages, offered to convert all the content to CE tags for him, but needed a way to separate his content from mine in the tags folder.

Great app, bt.......maybe a wittle nicer ui? maybe just a little....if you have the time.

Appreciate ur effort tho. Thnx bud.

DH always coming through with cool stuff. Glad to see you modding CE stuff nowadays!!
