Tutorial 2

this tutorial is how to use a hex editor on your xbox

REQUIRMENTS
-mod chip for xbox
-or softmodded xbox

The hex editor will allow you to change many various objects in the game.
this is a tutorial on how to make a magnum shoot rockets.
ok first of all open up your halo 2 offset list and the open this map (ascension.mp.html)
in your internet browser hit ctrl+f and type this "Projectile (29)"
you should come to the projectile offsets. look for magnum bullet and highlight
the offset for the magnum bullet
"018399E8" and copy it.
assuming your already ftp'd from your computer to your xbox, copy the asecension
map (for a backup) and paste it on your
desktop. then open your hex editor and open the ascension map (the one on your xbox).
you should see a bunch of complex
numbers but dont worry this is simple. now hit ctrl+g and it should say goto and
paste the magnum offset in there and hit enter.
it should go to some place. now go back to your internet browser with offsets on it.
and find the rocket offset "0183B658". now go back to your hex editor (make sure the the blinking line is where
it was before, if it isent just hit ctrl+g again and the offset should already be there and then hit enter. now
just start typing in the rocket offset "0183B658". now click file and save and your done! you will need to use
encryptomatic though to stop halo 2 from saying dirty disk error.
