It's for the xbox. and that other linux sparkeditor thing: it's got nothing to do with this halo-sparkeditor!


That sounds even better.  
I'll check www.halomods.com right now.  beerchug.gif

"SparkEdit", named after one of my favorite levels 343 Guilty Spark.

So my first guess was totally wrong,  flames on me  wink.gif

Awesome! And just to clear thigns up, when you say its for Xbox you mean its for the Xbox version of Halo, and it runs on PC, im I'm correct.


yes that's correct

QUOTE
Looks awesome! It would be awesome to change the coordinates of things, and maybe have like a drag and drop texture editor.


Grenadiac is working on both features, I think.

You got a release date planned?


The beta is out for the betatesters at this moment. (Wich I am, i'm such a lucky bastard smile.gif)

And for the final release: I don't think there is a release date, and I don't think it will be released anywhere in the near future either. I could be wrong though, let's hope so.

I can't just leak out the beta!

Wow, that's awsome. How'd you sign up for testing.
Any chance of it ever being able to modify the map?
I've always wanted a three story bloodgulch base...

Heh, the beta signups are officialy closed, but hey, you can always give posting on his forum a try.

Editing the levels is being worked on, but I don't think that'll be possible in the near future. Again, I could be wrong. Ask grenadiac on his forums to be sure, or come to #sparkedit-beta on irc.freenode.net

Right now it is still in beta testing and probably won't be ready for public release for around a week or so.  We've got several issues to work out, but it is coming along nicely.

Check out www.HaloMods.com if you are interested in the history and progress behind SparkEdit.  There's a lot of early screens from when I was still decoding the map format.

The cool thing that SourceGuy thought of that never occurred to me was that you can preview modded maps without loading them onto the xbox.

Never asked for u to leak the beta.. just to flip some maps around and put some out.. i know that betas pre-released are typically sketchy and not meant to be put out.  Not askin for an email or anything like that, just play with a map and send out..  thats all

Sparkedit is a mapviewer for xbox halo. At the moment you can't edit anything, just look.
It's possible to preview mods that change textures. Another function is a coordinate finder. It's located to the right. Just type in a coordinate and a green light will blink on that location. Make sure you are moving though, because the screen doesn't autorefresh.

At the moment sparkedit can't read halo pc maps, but I think It's easy to add support for them, though i'm not sure....

I'll ask grenadiac.

Btw. check out this thread:
