Guide to Tag Extraction & Injection

In this tutorial we will go over how using Assembly we can extract tags from one map and inject them into another.

I will be presenting this under the assumption you have a basic understanding of Assembly, if not I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you check out the Introduction to Assembly to get you started.

Extracting Tags
So lets say for example you wanted to do a Biped swap mod and play as a Grunt on Forge World, well first we would need to extract the Grunt tags from a map in which they're on and later inject them into a multiplayer map (in this example we'll use m10 - Winter Contingency to extract our tags from).

So first thing we want to do if open up our map in assembly.
 * 1) Once in the map navigate to the Biped Tags and find the one your looking for (in our case objects\characters\grunt\grunt).
 * 2) Right-Click it and select ExtractTagExtInj1.png
 * 3) In the dialogue that pops up simply choose where you want to save the extracted tag/s and a name for the file and hit save. But what if you want to extract multiple tags at once??TagExtInj2.png
 * 4) If every thing was successful you should get a Extraction Successful dialogue box.

Extracting Multiple Tags
So lets say you making a different sort of mod and you want to extract multiple tags.
 * 1) Again you want to find the tags you want to extract(for this example we'll use Grunts, Jackals and Marines.), right click them individually and select Add To Extract List. Now a box will pop up under the tags list letting you know whats on the Extract List.TagExtInj4.png
 * 2) One you have all the tags you wish to extract in your list, simply hit the Extract All button and again a dialogue box will come up and again name the file(it saves all the tags in a single file). Hit save and if successful you should get the Extraction Successful dialogue box

and were done extracting.

Injecting Tags
Injecting tags is super simple. Open up the map you wish to inject the tags into(in our case Forge World), Head to Tags, click on Import and select the tags(in our case grunts) In the next menu just hit Inject If everything was successful you should get this Import Successful window. Well, that about sums up Tag Extraction & Injection. Thanks for reading, I hope that this was a clear enough explanation and the images were clear enough (this being my first tutorial)
