Downloadable Content Creation
Information on DLC creation is something that has been kept very secret and is something that alot of people would like to be able to do themselves. And Now it is finally possible
Ive have put alot or research into this and have finally cracked the patch_v3.lvl signature and written a app to make DLC
Whats done:
- Map out patch_v3.lvl file(only a few unkown values left I dont even think they are important)
- Map out contentmeta.xbx and resign them
- Build a DLC package and install it
- Figured out how to resign the patches
To edit patch files I edited Entity to support them
Entity UE
Features:
- Patch_v3.lvl Editor Added
- Can extract and inject bitmaps from patch_v3.lvl files
- Can now resign the patch's
Unrelated Features:
- Main Menu Editor
- Can set the max map size
- Can set external map paths as well as map and patch folder paths

Wow, this is beautiful...
Most incredible job shade.
Ok, answer me this por favor.
Let's say I do not have the NEW 9 maps on my modded xbox.
If I do have just the maps (not the patchv3_lvl or w/e its called) on my computer, can this program build a patchv3_lvl for the new maps on my computer, and will it be slc with everyone else's (bought) new 9 maps, that they have installed from either xbox live OR the multiplayer map pack that you can buy at gamestop and what not?
NVM! I umm, yeah missread.

Nice research shade. I have always wanted to know more about this. It is a great idea. If school is not on again I will put some research in.

limit is 50 maps it doesnt matter if its dlc or mainmenu.
good job shade on the research.
i think now by releasing this you possibly opened a new way of xboxlive cheating without getting banned by the banhammer...

Usually sbos live cheaters are noobs though that don't know a thing about modding. Hopefully it will stay like this and we won't get anyone getting passed the banhammer but I really don't think that it has a HUGE ability to get passed it.xheadshotmastax wrote:i think now by releasing this you possibly opened a new way of xboxlive cheating without getting banned by the banhammer...
