Shape Patch Creator

Questions about the content creation procedure go here, including using Forge, Anvil, or other editors, or operating emulators like Basilisk II.

I know how to embed shape patches, but how do i make a shape patch?
I can edit shape files directly, but I want to embed a shape patch into a net map, and a 10MB file is a bit much (A shape file edit).

I've been trying for ages, but can't edit other people's shape patches with the current available windows programs and i can't create a shape patch as there isn't a windows program that can do it (So far).

Or is there? Will I have to reinstall basilisk II and go through all that again?

At the moment, the only way is to use Anvil.

I've been meaning to add support to ShapeFusion (I reverse engineered the spec here http://source.bungie.org/index.php/Anvil_Patch_Format) but there is only so much time.

Okay, I got a shapes patch file that is 496kb in size, how do I use Atique to apply it to a map?

Give it the extension .ShPa (case sensitive) and merge it in with the map, physics, whatever.

496kb might be too big though, I don't remember where Atque draws the line.

The limit for Atque is 384K, which is very big for a net map.
