is it possible to copy tags from one map to another
i tried to use mr mohawk to extract a meta file into a folder and then inject it into another map, but it didn't work
specifically, i wanted to put a banshee into quarantine zone
thanks

Try Gravemind 1.5. Ideally you should be able to swap the Plasma Pistol's projectile for a Banshee.

so essentially, i'm limited to the tags already contained in the map file? i'm using gravemind already, but i haven't been able to work out how to place tags in another map also, is there a way to view skyboxes in another program, like blender?

First you would extract the skybox to .OBJs files using Entity (with H2 XBox maps)

Entity 2.1.5 (http://www.monstrmoose.com/MMrepository/Halo_Tools/2_Xbox/Entity/2.1.5/Entity_2.1.5.rar)

Entity 2.1.8 (http://www.monstrmoose.com/MMrepository/Halo_Tools/2_Xbox/Entity/2.1.8/Entity_2.1.8.rar)

(when extracting the .OBJs the UVs will not always come out correctly)

Then put it back together in 3DS Max or whatever app you prefer.

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

You could also try the app called Orbit, it can open Xbox maps so you can view them. I do not recall but it may show you the sky.
