I have about 4000 separate tags and in each one of those tags is a ton of broken paths that leads to more, I am going to go nuts in silence, what do I do?

Douple post wut.

You've got a ripping problem, my friend. The first step to a solution is admitting that you have a problem. The next best thing to do is to have a fresh start. I know it sounds impossible, but I used to be like you. However, through sheer willpower I was able to overcome my urges. I know you can do it too.

Not ripping actually, I'm downloading the tags from halomaps, but I m putting them in different folders to reorganize them..

What you should do is actually change the references, or just don't touch the locations. You can change the location of a tag, but not if it's being referenced, if you do change the location of a referenced tag you should change the references in the tags that reference it to match the right location. (Also, I would suggest to just reset your tags folder at this point.)

The only issue with not relocating them is that they clog your tags folder with useless folders when they could be categorized by Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 4, Halo Reach, and Custom

I am seriously still debating on what I am going to do. I think I'm going to try and categorize them.

I honestly don't know why people jumped to conclusions about ripping, when it is me downloading biped tags and weapon tags from the hce.halomaps.org and trying to get them to not completely clog my tags folder. Not only that but half of the collision models don't even work with the tags they come with or do not even come with collision models, and the stock ones do not work either, the only options I have are to let them not have a collision which really is pointless, or to attempt to make one. *shudders*

What I honestly want is to have the most organized tagset possible, which will take a lot of effort but in the end be 100% worth it.

Once I tried to rip a zteam H3 assault rifle to my "weapons\assaul rifle\" it took me like 5 hours to fix every broken path, Since then I just put 'em in its original folder.

When I used to rip things, I would compare the tags to the stock tag equivalent, if they were the same values and bitmaps, I would use stock and not worry about ripping those specific tags, it saves hours. Especially on material effects.

I'm sorry but... what exactly is it that you're trying to accomplish here?

Or just wait for TMM to do it.

Sparky, you should consider a career in advertisement.

Or being a full time Jehovah's Witness / Mormon door knocker.

your better off testing the tag's to see if they work 1st before you go with that

Heh, I've learned that. I have a question, is it too extreme of an idea to have two CMT tagsets in one tags folder? How long would it take me to re-direct all of evolveds tagset paths to cmt_evolved instead of CMT? I feel like it could take more than a day. Could I get it done in under 4 hours?

4 years.

Introduce 1 folder at a time. This way you can track down your offenders easily and without the desire to leap out of your bed side window.

Cmt evolved plasma grenade = 2 hours

Off topic.

When odst campaign come out kinnet?

And will it be in 4K ULD SHD?

The way our tagset is set up you can have multiple tagsets in it, each folder is broken down into _shared, evolved, spv3 and you are welcome to make your own directory as well. the idea was to store non-gameplay specific files in the shared folder, with gameplay specific tags in other ones.

If I actually do end up completing this, would it be alright with you and CMT and members that have contributed if I uploaded the new directory of it, full credit rights and whatnot to CMT, just so others may use both tagsets in one folder.

The CMT folder is already arranged in a way that separately references Evolved\SPV3 tags.

I am talking SPV2 and farther back.

Thanks... I'm going to need it. I feel like I will go insane after the first few hours most likely.
