Because, you massive moron, NOBODY 'moved on' to Halo : Pay2Win Edition. I know he doesn't break any rules Dennis but for the love of god will you teach this guy and all his alt accounts a well-deserved lesson?

Halo keeps crashing whenever I try to load the map. I've tried through console and through the Universal UI, and I've got the crash report.

Title : CMT Evolved Tagset
Release Date : 04-12-2015
Author : CMT
Description : The full tagset for the CMT Evolved project

-------------------

i. Information
ii. Quick guide
iii. Credits

-------------------

i. Information

This is every non-scenario-specific tag that was a part of the CMT Evolved project. (To save everyone trouble, the scenario tags are being released separately). We've also included some of our VFX source files and some fixes for stock tags.

You will need a functional tagset extracted from the stock game and all of its singleplayer maps. You will also need Open Sauce version 4.0 or later. Other than that you should be able to drop the \cmt\ directory into your \tags\ directory and everything should just work.

Be careful about the contents of \ui\ -- read the documentation to get an idea of what's going on there. ***DO NOT*** overwrite your UI tags without backing them up first!

You'll find a whole bunch of documentation in the \doc\ directory of this release. This is a hugely informal text dump containing information on the hacks, techniques, design principles, and other things that went into TSC:E and its tagset. It is meant to help clear up questions you might have about what was done, how it was done, and occasionally why it was done. It is not meant to be a comprehensive encyclopedia of each tag and all its relevant data -- if you want those kinds of details then go look in the tags.

This release is not compatible with prior CMT tag releases. Our organizational structure has changed dramatically and you will only create misery for yourself if you try to drop it in with old CMT stuff that you have lying around. You've been warned.

This release also includes some fixed versions of stock tags that break when loaded by OS 4.0 due to weird unused garbage data that they contain. These tags are the Engineer, Pilot, Halo vehicle, B30 falling box, and D40 invisible damage detector. You will find these in \tags-stock-osfix\.

-------------------

ii. Quick guide for lazy people who want to just stick the tags in a map

If all you want are the models and textures, read \doc\misc hacks\Optimizations.txt and you should be good to go.

If you want nothing more than to transpose TSC:E assets onto stock H1 gameplay, an entire tagset has been made for you that does just that. Read the bonus \tags\Evolved H1-spirit.txt and you should be good to go.

*****
If you're using ANY .damage_effects, biped\vehicle collision geometry, or .actor_variants, you MUST read doc\design rules\Evolved damage scale.txt, or you're basically guaranteed to mix things that aren't designed to work together correctly.
*****

If you want to transpose the Evolved tags into your map without any modification, make sure to read everything in misc hacks, and consult the units folder for information on the Hunter back guard, Brute armor system, Grunt backpacks, and Jackal shields. Also consult everything in vehicles for information on the various systems at work there (ghost boost, ball shade physics, etc.)

If you want to add new tags or put the Evolved tags alongside other tags, read everything. Everything. If you don't you are guaranteed to have a strange and un-fun mishmash of things that do not play well together. Don't be lazy and make a lopsided mess when you could instead take an hour or two a week and make everything consistent, attractive, and fun to play.

Dang, I meant to report this earlier, hope it's not too late to be fixed!

bug v1.3, there appears to be an invisible barrier here. (Probably tree collision mesh is too big.)

Thanks for the v.1.3 patch, people. I'll be playing through it and pushing my VISR into more freaking walls when I'm done testing KF2 here. Doesn't seem like the panel-secret has been touched yet, according to changelogs. As the panel secret only appears under Noble difficulty.

Is there a way to extract the audio files from Evolved? And will there be a model/texture/FP & 3P animations released? I know the common reply to this would be to extract it from the source release but some of us don't have working HEK's. ;-;

(Seeing as Noble is supposed to be more difficult than Legendary.)
