Ultimate Sidewinder Mod - modified LONGSWORD

[JuggaloZeke]

Where are the cache files at? I looked in E:\CACHE, X:\, Y:\, and Z:\ but found nothing.

[zulux]

play a level on the game "halo", open up your x, y, and z, and see if there is any cache003.map file there, if there is you found the right one, delete everything in that x,y, or z, and then play what level you want to mod ex. Sidewinder. after 30 sec. of playing, go back to your computer, find the drive that you deleted from, refresh it, and then send your cache003 file from your xbox to your com. I don't know why you couldn't find any cache00* files. try refreshing.

[JuggaloZeke]

I know how to get the cache files. Thing is, none are appearing. HCE gets the caches from somewhere but I can't find any. Do you need to be using the original disk to get the caches?

[XboxTech]

Well I will take a stab at this . I think what is wrong is you need to shut down your FTP or Flash FXP,and restart it, I use Flash and sometimes it will not SEE the new stuff, if it was not there when you started Flash. If you do what zulux said and what I suggest it should be on one of the drives X Y Z. Like you said they must be there for HCE to see them, has to be your PC ftp software. Hope this is it . No don't need disk just to have run Halo and map you want

[zulux]

XboxTech is correct, thats why i was saying refresh, but try what he said too, i don't know what is wrong if you can't get it that way, you could also try doin the internet explorer FTP way, http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/ftp-ie.php
If this way doesn't work, i don't know what to do, it might be your com or your FTP program or something, but sorry, i haven't had that problem

[JuggaloZeke]

I was using SmartFTP as my client. I did try refreshing the FTPs cache of the xbox folders but I will try what you guys mentioned.

[JuggaloZeke]

Nope, that didnt work either. I even played four different maps before exiting the game and still... nothing. Where would HCE be getting the caches from?

[zulux]

Sorry man, i have no idea why it isn't showing any of your cache files, i wish i could help you, but i don't know what to do either, i have never had that problem I...i... i just don't know sry man, all i could say is keep trying, or maybe try something different, maybe a different com. or something

[JuggaloZeke]

I tried to even use the family computer. It is running SmartFTP as well. Still nothing. Bah.

[HORRIMODDER]

Is there a way to use Action Replay for it?

[JuggaloZeke]

I figured out another way to get it to work. Simply use HCE to apply the patch and voila. Simple.

Zulux, you have officially created my favorite mod (as of now, heh heh, still haven't tried that silent cartographer one ). I wish the snowmoble was a little more steady, but it's still fun. I just turn on flying hogs. I love the walls on the cliffs. This will make for some great 16 player. I think I'll combine this with the sidewinder skins mod. I gave this mod a 5.

[zulux]

Thank you very much for your comment, as of now I am updating it again, i am making the physics much better on the snowmobile, although it is fun when it does a frontflip I am also importing as SWEET i repeat SWEET model for the hog, it is lifted up, has huge wheels, has a truck bed with a short covering on it like a humvee, is longer, it has to be one of the coolest models i have ever seen, created by ****ME**** And whoever wanted the sniper post to be harder to get to, sorry but i am not changing this, my friends and i played and we decided it is much better to get to the sniper post easy because you can just go in fast and KILL whoever is in there!
So, once again, be on the lookout for an update of this mod, YES, another one! I will post another message when it is done.

[adam07]

Sounds awsome. Yeah, I like the sniper post the way it is, too. The hog sounds like it will be really cool. The snowmobile sorta reminds me of The Return of the Jedi things, heh, it's almost exactly like it. Maybe that sould be a good sound effect for it! You definently need to make it shoot faster, though. I like how you have everything chrome, keep doing that. The plasma launcher was really cool, too. Maybe you could make all the vehicles go a little faster, though, to make things more interesting. Just an idea. Keep modding though, I love your work!

[zulux]

Ok, i am afraid i can't make the sound effects myself, because i don't want to screw up my new computer's sound codec, and i can assure you, the HOG IS AWESOME i will make all vehicles go faster, even though i made the hog already go 1/3 times as fast, and i put the gravity a little less so when you hit a bump it would get some air. Thank you everyone for posting your comments, it is HIGHLY appreciated, if no one posted anything, i would have no idea what to do with this mod Thanks- now this mod will be sweet, update should come NO LATER THAN next friday. yea, sry for the delay.

iv downloaded this file but have only recently had my xbox modded by my m8. please tlk me threw everything 2 b able 2 get this level on my x box. I want to play this mod. please help me

[zulux]

If you look in the read-me of this file it tells you how to do it, but in case you need a more detailed explanation, send me an MSN or AIM, here is my explanation though in case you can't contact me.

FTP to your box, you have to have a mod-chip to do this (with flashed BIOS). I am guessing this is already done on your box since your m8 did it, but hopefully he did a good job.
Now, you have to install a dashboard that supports FTP. go to http://www.xbox-scene.com to find out more about FTPing to your box and to learn more about your mod-chip.
Once you FTP to your box, open up the X, Y, or Z drive and see if there are any cache00* files there, where * = a number from 0-5. Delete all those files.
Load up your halo game and play sidewinder.
FTP back to your box again and refresh just in case.
Take the cache003.map file and transfer it to your computer.
Download a program called PPF-O-Matic, you can probably search http://www.google.com for this. If you don't like this program (i love it) download HCE (downloadable from the utilities section), i will only tell you how to use PPF-O-Matic though.
Open up PPF-O-Matic. Insert your original file where it says ISO file or whatever. You will have to look at the bottom of the pop-up screen. It will say "ISO file", change this to all files and then put in the Cache003.map file there, click ok.
Where it says patch insert the .ppf file that you downloaded form me.
Click "patch or ok"
It should say something like "done patching or patching succesful, burn to CD now"
Do NOT burn it to a CD.
Take the same Cache003.map file and transfer it back to your xbox and overwrite the old cache003.map file there.
Now play sidewinder on the Halo game on xbox. It should work, if it does not, you did something wrong.
IF YOU DID NOT UNDERSTAND THIS GO TO THE TUTORIAL SECTION ON THIS SITE- YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE BECAUSE IT TELLS YOU EXACTLY WHAT TO DO. I basically told you everything though.
Hope this works for you

[zulux]

yes, once again, if you haven't noticed, i have updated the mod. The snowmobiles physics are now perfect just like everyone wanted, and the warthog... whoaaaaa! The hog is lifted, has huge tires, has a sweet top on it. it has a couple extra little details, and even if you don't want to play on SW, i would download this mod just for the hog models so download it again if you like this mod. I repeat, if you have downloaded this mod before, DOWNLOAD IT AGAIN.

[adam07]

Sweet I'm gonna try it out!

Edit:

Wow your mod has come a long, long way. The ghost is pretty much perfect, and now you have a monster truck warthog. Your sniper tower now has a wall up the ramp, that is awsome. Omg that is awsome how you made it so that the gunner in the warthog can't shoot if he has the flag!

However, there are a couple of new problems. The biggest one is that one of your spawn points is in a rock/tree at red base. Lol seriously, you've gotta fix that. I would also like to see the monster warthog (yeah you should name it the monster hog lol) less top heavy (I know that is sort of an oxymoron) but it flips a lot (maybe that keeps the game even?) Also, instead of bullets, maybe you could have the warthog shoot one homing rocket every 5 seconds (and maybe make the homing a little less strong than normal). That seems more appropriate for it's size.

I still love your work and this is may favorite multiplayer mod!

P.S., Your milkshape brings all the boys to tha yad

sry I just had to say that lol

[zulux]

Wonderful ideas, thank you so much. I was not aware of a spawn point in a tree or somewhere i guess i wasn't even thinking about spawn points at the time I also cannot stop updating this mod, it's like i am addicted or sumthin, lol. I will fix that spawn point, BUT, i will not change the top heaviness of the hog, i love it that way, i almost made it even more light, but i thought it would be to ridiculess to be that light. So i will leave it the way it is. Yes, i absolutely LOVE the hog, it is so fun to drive in like a monster truck and flip over and stuff, **(yes i know there are different models for the model details, but not anything major)**. I also completely forgot about changing the name of the hog and ghost **i am idoit** I will change that. Yes, another wonderful idea, make it shoot a powerful thing. It will be like a grenade launcher that blows up on contact or sumthin, perhaps someone could give me ideas. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your comments, it helps me so much when people post comments and suggestions. I guess i will continue the work on this, and one more thing: Should i incorporate my own version of the snowball mod in this, i thought it would be kinda korny but... maybe people like it that way.
