Changing 'You Killed' Messages

Post by PoJoCatDog »

I was doing a little Halo modding and I decided I wanted to change the messages that appear when you kill someone. I tried looking for a way to do it in DotHalo, no luck. I opened up the map in a hex editor and found the messages but when i edited them I get errors in DotHalo when I try to reopen them. I also used the encrypto sig tool but it failed to load the map.

Any help would be appreciated.

ok you will need to kno what the messages say and then open your map in a hex editor. search for the text string and then edit those. NOTE: you cant exceed the number of letters originally used. so say u wanna take the string "picked up battle rifle" into picked up weapon....your new string should read "picked up weapon ". for the letters that you dont replace you will want to fill those in with spaces.
