Help please. <--n00b with this

Post by bakabaka »

I am humbly asking for any kind of help I can get.

I'm looking to change the appearance of Master Chief. Just to use at LAN parties.

I wish to possibly retexture him to so that he has black armor with red details. However, in my (little) knowledge of games, I believe that the textures would not showup for people playing that are not on my Xbox.

So if the above is not possible I would gladly settle with just changing the color to black. Possibly by means of altering a gamesave?

Thanks in advance for all responses. :)

Yea thats what i figured. Thanks tho,

I found the thread titled "Game save and You" and it refers to the primary and secondary character colors.

When I open my save game up in a hex editor, I cant find anything the corresponds to what the author wrote there.

I heard that Black armor was originally in the game but was taken out because it was too easy to hide in the shadows.

Im sure someone here knows how to mod a gamesave so that my character has black armor.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
