Guerilla

Guerilla is Blamite's tag editing utility. Tags are the format in which the vast majority of game content will be stored, and are one of the primary features that are unique to the Halo engine. Until now!

In addition to being a standalone program, Guerilla also acts as a library for Foundry. In order to both reduce redundant code and to ensure that feature enhancements get applied to both Guerilla and Foundry, Foundry will reference Guerilla's tag and plugin code directly rather than reimplementing its own form of tag/plugin manipulation.
