Assuming some forge map mods are released (not leaked) in a final form, and (obviously) do not allow for cheating: like say allowing for 16 flamethrowers or hornets on a map, would these need to be played offline? Do you think Bungie would ban the creator or users of such modified content over Live? I'm sure this is being explored right now, and I think it could potentially be a great work-around to actually changing and resigning the map files, at least for the time being. Thanks.

Nobody has been banned for using the modifications, and Bungie is more aware of it than you might think. They show no intention of issuing punishments, so long as it does not interfere with matchmaking.

That's really good news then! I bet some fun stuff can be cooked up for custom games using this method.

What forge stuff is being kept private?
If you have the ability to extract files from you HDD, you can compare files and map out the format...

It's not like you need a signer to do that.
Just buy XSATA like the rest of us.

yeah but without a resigner its hard to test any theories. Hypothesis can only go so far.

No punishment in terms of your XBL Account, but they have been banning people from the forums.

Doesn't stop you from going to the limit.

I though about implementing plugins like this in a program a while back, but didn't think about doing it like this, I like this better than how I would have done it. Maybe I'll actually do some work with plugins if I actually get halo 3 and mod it, I'd be much more comfortable with this format since I code in C# anyway. Good work Anthony.

your link didnt work for me

Most people know about that... It does not help with the signing situation.

But it does show how the CON's work.

"Anthony from Halomods has also created a Resigner."
)_(

Thats pretty cool ^^
Made this research all by myself ... and wrote a little program to read this out ^^
But, this have nothing todo with Halo 3 Research ...

Anthony · Post by **Anthony** » Thu Mar 20, 2008 6:01 am

and thats why I don't release shit

It says

This algorithm was reverse engineered from a disassembly of wxPirs.

And its funny how more then half of that info is wrong

If they spent more time doing it on their own rather then trying to steal\rip someones code they would prob have somewhat right information

Now can we get back on this topic that is for Halo 3 retail game research?
