[/dohtml] Halo Mapping Tools- The core utility you will use to mod maps as a beginner modder. Halo Hacker tools- For more advanced modders, this utility allows you to do other things that HMT can't do; switching dependencies. Hex Editor- A decent Hex editing program, advanced modders only HHD Hex Editor- I prefer this one more than the other, and this one is used by most Halo PC modders Hex Workshop- My favorite one, yet I believe it has an evaluation period Sparkedit 3.02- Tool for visually editing Halo maps XYZ plugin- This is for HMT. This edits a weapon's projectile, so if you want a pistol to shoot out a ghost, switch the X to 2, and the ghost won't kill you. (found by deadparrot) link=http://halopc.net/pctools/download.php?fname=./XYZ_weap_Coords_plugin.rar Photoshop CS2- A good tool for editing Bitmap files with (requires the DDS plugin though) Convim- converts image files into DDS files (I believe it only supports DXT1 though. Irfanview- faster to download than Photoshop, but I believe it has less features. Microsoft .Net framework- Can't run HMT 3.5 or any other modding utility? it may be because you need this accessory BSP remover- removes BSP from a map, cannot undo though HHT plugin creator- create plugins for Halo Hacker tools with this utility Sparkify files- files that must be applied using Kore's Halo Tweaker or PPF-o-Matic to enable Sparkedit/Halo Hacker Tools to work for Halo Trial. Thanks to Snip3r of modhalo.net for providing them. PPF studio- makes ppf files Helpful Halo Hacker tools- Helps create backups for your maps Winzip Trial- you probably already have this installed on your computer; winzip is a file compresser that many use to reduce the size of files on the internet. Winrar- prefered by most Halo modders due to the fact that it usually compresses better than Winzip, and because there is no evaluation period PPF-o-matic- applies ppf files to maps Kore's Halo Tweaker- A simplified version of ppf-o-matic made specifically for Halo maps ZD soft game recorder- records halo games CE map converter- converts maps from PC to CE and CE to PC ONLY! BYOM versions 1 and 2- Created by Sword and Phenomena. The second version was provided by [b]Eps][Lon3[/b] while ModHaloTrial was down. Click [url=http://z11.invisionfree.com/Halo_Archives/index.php?showtopic=199&st=0]here[/url] for more information. HMT plugins- a single set collection I created of plugins based on the many different plugin sets for HMT 3.5 (credit goes to their creators). 3 Halo fonts- Covenant, Forerunner, and Cinematic. The Forums uses the cinematic font on some of the text. Click [url=http://z11.invisionfree.com/Halo_Archives/index.php?showtopic=166&st=0#entry1249388]here[/url] for more information. For those of you who prefer the official Halo CE modeling program, 3ds Max 8 (30-day trial) is available, just click the link in the Halo CE table for it.
