Other than just swapping one object out for another, what else can be done to the forge varient?

Aside from placing object where they wouldn't normally be allowed, I don't think anything. They can't add anything, and the Forge variants only store locations, item respawn times, item types, and ammo counts (Probably other similar stuff I'm just overlooking, but you get the idea).

how in detail is the ammo stuff, granted you even know that? Just wondering cause i think a zombie game with even more limited ammo would be awsome and enjoyably anoying.

I'll let Veegie or someone answer that. I don't know if it works on intervals, or if it stores the specific numbers.

I don't think it would be possible. All the values in the game type files are just index's to a list of possible values(the ones you see in game).

ah, so if i wanted to ever do that it would have to be an actual main menu edit like in halo 2... bumber. Oh well, just adding different things is good enough for me.

Also, Detox found a way to spawn ragdolls in Forge to toss around.
I can't wait until everyone can mod Halo 3 and can do this.

So everyone who has been able to mod either has a dev-kit or a resigner? Or a modified xex like our kornman?

And the resigner that anth0ny has is a con-resigner that can only sign forge ect. files?

Yes. That has been stated many times.

loveandhatejw wrote:Or a modified xex like our kornman?

The modified XEX, which several people (All who have a devkit and have posted mods) have, only works on the devkit. The two go hand-in-hand.

Yes, for the hundredth time.

I have a question. If these devkits are only sold to licensed game developers, how do people here have them? Are they game developers or am I missing something?

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 3:24 pm

It's shady.

ScottyGEE · Post by **ScottyGEE** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 3:24 pm

Hundredth? Multiply that by 60 because I swear every time I come in this forum all I see is CON CON CON RESIGNERRRRRR.

Pretty kool too Kornman. That's a lot of bloom/blur

It is done illegally, I am assuming. Or they are using a dirty loophole.

Yes, it is done illegally. Either someone figured out a way to upgrade a retail 360 to a dev-kit 360, or someone illegally sold their 360 dev-kit.

Oh, ok. Wow. They are lucky to have one. Someone must be a technical genius to upgrade to one.

Wouldn't a hybrid just be like an xbox with a modchip on roids then. Whats the difference of having a full devkit compared to a hybrid.
