[Aumaan Anubis]

No.

Im sorry to bother you, but i am having trouble getting the mapfiles.

How do I get Halo 3 files onto my computer so I can mod them?
www.Xbox-Scene.com has numerous tutorials.
If you are looking for the downloadable content maps, you can find them in the content\0000000000000000\4D5307E6\00000002 folder on your Xbox 360 hard drive.

Sorry for the bump, and double post, but I have a bug fix for you, Prey.

Well, when I was testing your meta editor, and I came across a bug when saving bit masks and such. I didn't check if it occurred in other data types, but I just changed it to a new way of saving and it works flawlessly.

Anyways, your code is like this:

Code: Select all

switch (this.Size)
    {
        case 8: bw.Write((byte)Mask); break;
        case 16: bw.Write((short)Mask); break;
        case 32: bw.Write((int)Mask); break;
    }

It gives an error when casting to a byte, short, and int from an object, so I changed it to this and it works perfectly.

Code: Select all

switch (this.Size)
    {
        case 8: bw.Write(Convert.ToByte(Mask)); break;
        case 16: bw.Write(Convert.ToInt16(Mask)); break;
        case 32: bw.Write(Convert.ToInt32(Mask)); break;
    }

And heres the updated saving code for the 'ValueNode' class:

Code: Select all

public override void Write(BitWriter bw, int seekOffset)
        {
            bw.BaseStream.Position = seekOffset + Offset;

            switch (NodeType)
            {
                case NodeType.Byte: bw.Write(Convert.ToByte(Value)); break;
                case NodeType.Short: bw.Write(Convert.ToInt16(Value)); break;
                case NodeType.UShort: bw.Write(Convert.ToUInt16(Value)); break;
                case NodeType.Long: bw.Write(Convert.ToInt32(Value)); break;
                case NodeType.ULong: bw.Write(Convert.ToUInt32(Value)); break;
                case NodeType.Quad: bw.Write(Convert.ToInt64(Value)); break;
                case NodeType.UQuad: bw.Write(Convert.ToUInt64(Value)); break;
                case NodeType.Float: bw.Write(Convert.ToSingle(Value)); break;
                case NodeType.Double: bw.Write(Convert.ToDouble(Value)); break;
            }
        }

I haven't seen Prey post in a while. I wouldn't expect him to update this for some time, but people can always download the source and fix it.

[Prophet94]

COOL!

[USSRSniper01]

how do you fix it with the source?

[Tural]

You open the source and change it accordingly. You'll need to know C# programming at least somewhat to have any idea what you're doing.

[USSRSniper01]

oh wow i have no clue but ill give it a try just tell me where to start

[Tural]

I don't feel like spending hours teaching someone to program so they can change a few things. Just let someone who knows what they're doing post a fix.
Not me, I'm lazy.

[USSRSniper01]

ok thnx anyways an i think i know how to do it but no way off finding the code to fix but ill just take your advice

[Eaton]

Use the search function and search for "ValueNode" and the other one.

[DEEhunter]

Did it.

The code Lux posted has difficulties on some data types. I PMed him about it, but no reply as of yet.

I just noticed the PM. And the image you sent me doesn't load. But I have no problems saving in the weap tag with the code I posted.

Just tested your code (on the weap tag). I got an unhandled exception. All I did was change the collision damage from small vehicle to large vehicle and changed the ghost gun to hornet missile . Wish I could map mod
So, apparently, it's not flawless.

For one, that picture shows that you have a vehicle selected :/... Also it says:
"Specified cast is not valid."
That means it's trying to cast the object to another data type(byte, int16, int32) so you didn't update everything.

Please explain.

p.s. I was using the updated plugins would that have anything to do with it?

Didn't update the code fixes I posted. And no, the plugins wouldn't have anything to do with it.
