Release Note:
This tutorial is only to be posted on the HaloMods forums (http://forums.halomods.com), my own forum(https://root.forumotion.net), and on ROUS' forum(http://thecodeyardforums.makeforum.org). If this is displayed anywhere else, I request that you inform me so I can ask for it to be taken down.

Information about the tutorial:
This is an explanation on how the maps were put together, not about how to build one, but how Bungie original made them and how they work. Also this is a good thing to read if you want to learn more about what the tags do and mean. When making this, I used the map b30 as a reference. It is recommended that you use the application that I have a download link too, and load the map b30 with it the first time you go through this, so you can follow what I am talking about. Then when the map is loaded, sort the list by tag number, with it going from 0000 to 3693. Also, For a later part of the tutorial I will be using Eschaton 0.6.1 as my base of the explanation, because HMT is not standard cross platform so there is no real way to compare the Mac and PC versions.
