If you unpack some mods and status have errors like:
•Found property name with a hashcode (477030267) that has no match in tags.dat: MEDIA/LAYOUTS/CRYPT/RULES.TEMPLATE, or
•Found group name with a hashcode (1403211796) that has no match in tags.dat: MEDIA/FEATURETAGS.HIE

this program may be able to fix it


I only Updated dictionary with 275 tags found in GUTS.




How to use:


To use it first you need to decompress mod in GUTS and when it’s done you need to copy all the info under GUTS statusbos and save it all to a new txt file – this is you Log File.
Then in TL2 Tag Fixer Select that file and select MEDIA folder of unpacked mod.
That’s it, additional information is in Help file.




Additional Info:


There are 3 main reasons for that kind of errors:

• TAGS.DAT don't have all the basic entries found in GUTS
should be (mostly) fine - with my update.

• Complex modifications like “Synergies Mod” having new entries/tags, not recognizable by TAGS.DAT
require moders to create new dictionary by scanning mod’s MEDIA folder - using “Parse all the things”, under Dictionary.

• nstable decompression events in really heavy mods like “Path Of Torchlight (v.127)”
manually decider invalid Hash codes you need to open bugged files in text editor (Notepad++ is recommended) and mess with GUTS settings. It’s not hard,all tags have associated string (example: <string_name>), value and are arranged in not random order.

HASH codes are getting miscalculated by GUTS decompression. It seems like what tag is going to be miss calculated depends on machine (PC), but multiplayer seems to be some kind stable.



Double Hash is a rare instance, and I think that is why one tag had two different Hash Codes.

I would be grateful if someone would be able to find correlation between those Hash warrants and add that to this tool.



Base hash algorithm is as follows:

•Hash is a 32-bit unsigned integer.
•Seed with the length of the string.
•For each character in the string:
1.Do a looping left shift by 5 bits.
2.XOR with the ASCII value of the character
