The way to find out right now is, sadly, to try looking for hints in the hex. Since no one knows yet, you have to fumble around in the blind and changing random variables.

I think I found a lead though, I found a place where it says peaw(weap backwards) and some bytes after that it lists the ident to the Ghost bullet, after that it's a lot of zeros and one single byte followed by some zeros. I dunno what it is , but I'm changing it and going into the game to check right now. I think it might be the ROF... maybe.

EDIT:
Nope that was the variable that determines how close you are to the gun, but I found another one... not correct either, but I know many poeple who would want it. It's the one that determines the amount of shots the ghost shoots!!

You take the Meta-offset for the ghost and add C5C to it in a hex calculator. The byte you end up on should have the value 04. Change it to whatever you want.
Not all the shots will fly forwards though, some of them goes backwards and sidewards to, but most go forwards.

A really good way to find it is to look for the text Primary trigger in the meta. The first single byte after that should be the shot-amount.

Excuse ME, but the only asswipes/holes around here are the people who are smart enough to do these steps
Step 1: Read a lot or all of the meta posts.
Step 2(this one isn't too bad): Still not get it, although this one isn't annoying or anything.
Step 3: Make yet another fucking post asking the same god damn question over and over and over and over.

Don't you people get it? We're tired of this horse shit. If you still can't figure out how to make Master Chief climb walls, too bad. Don't post a thousandth asking the question, you're probably not gonna get the answer.

Learn meta. That's all I can say. Try and figure it out on your own instead of having us waste time for you.

I think the rate of fire isnt wat you think it is i think there ia a delay ratio in the guns, i dont think the game looks at the rate of fire by how many bullets you can shoot in a second or a minute, but more of how long it takes to shoot the next bullet so if you want to find the rate of fire you will need to make that number smaller instead of larger.

I kinda figured that was how it was done. It seems like the most normal thing to do, from a programmers perspective. What is better, having a predefined delay and just waiting, or having a set amount of shots per second where you have to calculate the delay afterwards anyways?

To find the ROF I have been trawling three meta's at the same time, the Ghost gun's, the banshee gun's and the warthog gun's, since I figured the Ghost and the banshee has somewhere equal ROF. They look pretty much the same anyways. No luck yet. :(

NEWS FLASH! YOU SUCK. I care about the threads and forum because I still want to see this stuff. But when it comes to you posting another thing asking the same thing, no. I said nothing about me being smart and I know meta. I said learn meta. I didn't say I know it. I kind of know it anyway, so there. Plus, you don't have to add in your first post "and no asshole comments from sirluke". Leave that out. It's insulting. I'm sorry if I have a short temper; it runs in my dad's side of the family. Quite badly. If I were like one of the other relatives, I would be beyond anger management teaching. I never call people assholes; I just get annoyed. Fine, I'll try and calm a little before posting. But that's me. I'm sorry. I don't totally mean what I say.

OMFG!!!!! u guys r fucking crazy i just read this entire thread to see if poor static got his answer and the 1st page has the same results as the last page--nothing! Hivemind took up a page wondering why he was being called an ass when he said a simple "i don't care" 3 word sentance thinking he was helping him! i mean at least Sirluke sorta gave a tutorial... u call him an ass but at least he gave a suggestion then just saying nothing!! now static i don't know either or i would be tellin u to end this

please, shadowbeast, if you have nothing good to say either, then dont say anything, and dont reply with a snide comment either

to increase the rof of a ghost is posible, and im not sure of the offsets of where to direct u rite now.. but what you need to do it go to another tutorial, (search for rof) and find it for another gun, now go to iron forges offsets, and find wher that gun is located in those offsets, and then go back and do the same exact thing with the ghost

this is the only way to truley learn.. and it will do u absolutly no good for sumone to just give you the answer (u dont even get to feel satisfied, cause the mod wont even be urs)

now, sirluke, i must emphasize, please do not be disrepectful to other forum members, as we are all halo fans, and all want to get to the same thing (except me.. pm me if u truley want to know) and i know, others will be disrepectful to you to, but you can be better then them by replying as i do now

as for static, if you truley cannot find any threads, pm me, and i will give you a small walkthrough on how to do this (still not directly giving you the offsets.. but hey, almost)

this will answer you question if your truley willing to work
If your significance is that but significant then is there another with significance?
