I was wondering if it is possible to extract <protected> tags from maps using the HEK+, as there seems to be an unspecified error when extracting them.

Back in bad old days before Eternal Lightning came around (I still remember the assmad it generated on Halomaps x3). I used a hex editor to rename "<protected>" to "1protected1" because that's all the protection is, it renames all the tags to a filename that Windows will not accept (Windows doesn't like filenames with these: "<" ">"). I had to extract the tags one by one. It was so painful and yet, I somehow managed to everything out of the map in the shortest time possible with that method.
This so much. The best was when someone first got around the protection, and it was slowly leaking around, and the mad was growing exponentially.

sorry if this is a dumb question, I just don't know anythings about tags.
What is all in a tag? Does it have maps, models, sound and animations?


Tag defines many properties. I.E A tag can be many different things depending on what type it is: I.E A sound tag would be a tag which holds sound data, or a Powerup.tag would be a file which holds modifiable data information which prolongs the effectiveness of a player.

A tag also does not have maps, it's simply a file with a lot of different cousins used to make a map.

Hey SS Flanker,
Is it possible to extract an animation from a tag of masterchief?
Why I ask is I want to import masterchief (with model, bones an animations)
into UDK from 3dsmax. I am not opposed to learning how to rig it from scratch.
I have looked at some youtube videos on how to do this, it seems to be way too
many steps to take. And if someone has already done this, why not use it.
Its just that it takes me a while to learn new things.
I am looking for a few shortcuts alone way until I understand it.

Does HEK+ create tags from the halo game content?
