Ok... I'll make one now! :D

What's with magic!?

What is magic? Well it is the number that what makes alot in the level. What is it good for? Data Swapping! How do you do this? Well, here you go!

1. Open a Offset list for Halo Retail Pc and a Hex Editor.
2. Find the value of something and reverse it.
3. ( Ex: 12345640 would be 40563412 )
4. Why though? Well it's how the computer reads it...
5. Well now that you have got your number you have to subtract magic of level. ( For Bg it is 3FBEE68C, so you'd do 40563412 - 3FBEE68C in Hex )
6. Let's do it now. Lets take weapon value of Rocket Launcher.
7. Which for BG is D8EB7A40.
8. Now reverse it. 407AEBD8...
9. So, we open Windows Calculator and pick Hex from list since were doing this in Hex.
10. 407AEBD8 - 3FBEE68C = BC054C
11. Now in Hex Editor type in offset BC054C.
12. Now it shall bring you to some numbers.
13. Now I just do this same method and swap the numbers.
14. So if you wanted the Rocket Launcha with some stuff of Needler you'd do Rocket Launcher's case which gives you BC054C and Needlers case which gives you CEEC18. Now type in CEEC18 in Offset screen.
15. It should bring you to 02000400CDCC4C3E and so on.
16. Now do that for Rocket Launcha and should give you 020004003333933E and so on. So just replace all that 020004003333933E and so on with 02000400CDCC4C3E and so on and if done right...
17. Well... You check it out...

This is just a sample but I guess it's ok... Hope it becomes a tutorial. :D
