halo editor

Post by nawty »

I heard that you can edit these maps with halo cache editor. But any time i load up these levels and then open up blood gulch in the editor everything is labeled as unknown. Is there a way to edit them so you can do spiderman and jumping and all that good stuff?
THanks,

Excellent work. I like the new weapons, regardless of what other people say. :) It is missing some things but it's definately more complete and looks better than most maps that came with NMP. I look forward to seeing more work with this map.

Also you may not be able to do anything about this but the frame rate is very low on this map. Is it just because of the size of it?

To avoid having the posts about put the map in NMP (Which is what I did using this tutorial) you might want to add this link in your original post.

This map is awesome!!! Is there a way to get it to replace a level other than BG though? like renaming it? Well, I tried naming it to 4 instead of 3 but nothing happened
Open the map on your PC with a hex editor, at the top of the file it will say bloodgulch. Just change that to the name of some other map (change it to "carousel" for derelict, "putput" for ChironTL34, and "beavercreek" for battle creek, all others are the same name as the map. If the name of the new map is shorter than bloodgulch (you have letters left over), DO NOT replace it with periods, go into the left side and type in 00 for each byte.

This has got to be one of the best maps ive seen so far.

Now I dont mean to criticize, it is an amazing map but
1. Can we have a bright version?
2. It seemed to lag with 3 players on my xbox, is that just a fluke or could it be really bogging down the xbox with it's size and detail?

Thanks

Hi

I am from the UK with a PAL box and PAL copy of Halo on my hard drive, and i am just getting into playimng around with game files.

I did find this post that goes some way to explaining how to eddit Cache. However it doesnt explain how i get from the file you guys have kindly provided to playing it!

http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=2819

I have read all posts accociated with this subject, and they all go some way to explaining but i still cannot get the your file to make any difference to the Blood Gulch level.

I do have HCE v7 and have cleared cache, copied ftpd your file into the now empty Z drive and loaded halo, gone to multiplayer, sellected Blood Gulch, and the same old Blood Gulch apears!

I know i am doing something wrong, could somebody explain please how i get your Cache003 file to work. I have tried doing things in a different order, but still no joy.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks

i took Zulu's post and changed it around to make it apply to this specific case

"1. play the level you want to mod for a few seconds. (BLOOD GULCH)
2. ftp to your xbox and go to the x, y, or z drive (whichever has "cache" files. (look for cache001 002 003 004 . . . . . )
3. transfer the cache003.map that you downloaded (hangarX) to that drive with the cache files (either x y or z)

4. PLAY!

Thanks again for responding, i must seem like a real turd!

I have tried all of what yoiu have suggested.

Let me get this straight:

In order for me to play the download detailed at the route of this post i should: -

1 - download and unpack the file from this site
2 - start up my PAL xbox with my PAL version of Halo on my HDD in slayer mode on the level blood gulch
3 - Play the level for one minuite, wander around, frag a few shrubs!
4 - Quit the game normaly - do not simply turn of console?
5 - Start up Xbox with the Evox dash only (no game this time)
6 - start up Flash FXP and FTP the cachee.003 file over to the partition where cachee.003 currently resides (Z i think!)
7 - Overwrite current version
8 - Star Halo and play blood Gulch

I have tried the above as well as initialy clearing the cachee.

Any tips?

Thanks

Thanks for getting back to me.

Could you save me a bit of time please and provide a link to this information? I am dying to have a blast and start playing around with new levels. Do i need to use a hex editor for this?

Thanks in advance.

To make an NTSC map work on pal all you have to do is change the build number (at the beginning of the map file), but I'm not sure what exactly the PAL build number is.

OK I found the PAL Build number. to make any NTSC map work on PAL:

-Open the map with a hex editor.
-At the top, it will have a build number, NTSC build is 01.10.12.2276
-change this number to 01.01.14.2342
-Save the map, an enjoy on a PAL Xbox!

Anothe fast response, thanks :-)

Pretend that i know nothig about hex editors and the closest i git to this is looking at REGedit and saying *uck that! it looks dangerous :-)

Could you recomend a hex editor for me - i know i must sound so lame but "i mainly just do the hardware"

Thanks again
