At a minimum you will need [DATA+TAGS] The Essential Collection to make use of the updated shared.map. -AGAIN, ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR ORIGINAL MAP FILES!- -There is now a version of H2Tool.exe that labels all the custom maps it makes as the older Engine Version. So what was 11122.07.08.24.1808.main (non-default\custom map - NEWER ENGINE) is now 11081.07.04.30.0934.main (default\resource map - OLDER ENGINE). -The "bin" folder has been updated and there are now templates for both Engine Versions. UPDATES (June 26th, 2013): -This version has been further enhanced with the addition of an Unlocked H2Tool.exe by adolif2. This allows the compilation of other scenario types then just multi-player. -The GBX Model Upgrader 1.0 public beta by Jahrain is included so that you can make your own custom render models. -The Halo Bitmap Extractor 1.0 by FireScythe. -The H2MT Halo 2 Map Editor Launcher BETA by ZeroErrors. -The H2V Scripting Maker 1.1 by Kantanomo for creating longer scripts then normally allowed. -Further scripting resources are included as well. -3DS Max importers, exporters, and scripts. -Extended directory structure. -This version is compressed as a 7-Zip self extracting executable archive which offers superior compression to that of .rar or .zip. -To reduce file-size I have removed two large files that are only necessary for reverse engineering.
