1. Open Halo Map Tools V3
2. Go Under Animation Trigger
3. Select "characters\cyborg\cyborg"
4. Don't select Recursive - Only Save Meta - Save it to your Desktop
5. Open "cyborg.antr.meta" in a Hex Editor
6. Do a search for seatname unarmed idle ( Example - W-driver unarmed idle)
7. Use ASCII String - Text String - Down
8. Once found find two Reflexives after it
9. Now Swap Endian and then Subtract Magic
10. Do same for 3rd Reflexive
11. That's how long it is - Change everything there to zero except for the 0000 803F's
12. That will destroy everything except the ass - It'll also look a little weird ;p

3. Select "characters\cyborg\cyborg"
4. Don't select Recursive - Only Save Meta - Save it to your Desktop
5. Open "cyborg.antr.meta" in a Hex Editor
6. Do a search for seatname ( Example - W-driver )
7. Use ASCII String - Text String - Down - Find All Instances
8. Ignore the first find - Use the next ones - Select the first found Instance Offset
9. Notice in the Text Side of the Hex Editor it says what you are editing ( -gunner acc-front-back ) for first
10. Find the first Reflexive from the offset going down
11. Swap Endian - Subtract Magic
12. Go to that offset within the Map File
13. To find the size of it find the next Reflexive in the Cyborg Meta under the first Reflexive you were just at
14. Swap Endian - Subtract Magic - Subtract this number from the other offset - It's usually 13C
15. Change all these numbers within this section to 0 except for 0000 803F's
16. Notice when testing only the butt shows. What if we want to change specific things? This is used for "Changing How You Enter A Vehicle" and "Changing How You Look In A Vehicle"

01 = left thigh
02 = right thigh
03 = hips/butt
04 = left shin (lower leg)
05 = right shin (lower leg)
06 = torso
07 = left upper arm
08 = left foot
09 = head
10 = right upper arm
11 = right foot
12 = ?
13 = ?
14 = ?
15 = Left forearm
16 = right forearm
17 = left hand
18 = right hand
- This means when you go to one of those offsets and you see:
803F 59D9 80B3 59D9 8033 C0CB 2C3D 0000 803F as the first one there that means all the data between 803F controls the left thigh data - Change All To 0 If You Don't Like The Left Thigh

1. Open Halo Map Tools V3
2. Open Blood Gulch
3. Go under the Tag ( mod2 )
4. Select "vehicles\ghost\ghost"
5. Unrecursivly Save Meta onto your Desktop
6. Open the Meta in a Hex Editor
7. Do a search with Text String - ASCII String - Down and search for the Seat Name ( Example - driver )
8. Not G-driver
9. Once found go to the first Reflxive after it
10. Reverse Endian - Subtract Magic - Goto that Offset within the Map
11. From there change the Longs with numbers between your offset and the 803F going down - Change the Longs between 803F - I can't really tell you which ones - Just the ones that look really weird like A0F2 5200 and E427 632B or whatever - Just Test
< - - > Now Updated With Info < - - >
- For "Where you are in seat" FFFF FF3F would be in the back of the seat
- 0000 003F would be in the front of the seat
- For "Seat Location - Where you enter and Where you sit too" FFFF FF3F is high
- 0000 003F is low - Underground? lol
- Anything in between is for example AAAA AAAA wouldn't be too high or too low
Also : You cannot control seat location - It will be around where you are while in the specified seat - For example - If you while in a seat are really high then the seat location is most likely high

Seat Duplication and Manipulation
By: Ang88 and Deadly Shadow
With Help From Latot Latot
1. Batch Extract Blood Gulch to a new Folder
Metadata only
with BSP
2. Put Blood Gulch into this folder
3. Open \vehicles\rwarthog\rwarthog.vehi.meta with a hex editor
4. Go to offset 2E4 and you should see 03, this number is the number of seats in the vehicle, change this number to 04
save the file
5. Open up to the corresponding Xml Document and look for 2E8 as the Location
<Reflexive>
<Location>0x2E8</Location>
<Translation>0xBC0</Translation>
<ChunkCount>3</ChunkCount>
</Reflexive>
6. Goto offset BC0 in rwarthog.vehi.meta
7. From that offset goto add 11C, and you should be at CDC, this is where you want to inject a blank space
8. Open up HMT and goto the Meta Blank Space Injector
for the file, put \vehicles\rwarthog\rwarthog.vehi.meta
for size, put 284 since 11C in decimal form is 284
for offset put CDC
9. Now open the file in a hex editor again and goto offset CDC
10. Add 11c to cdc and you should get DF8, then add another 11c and you should get F14
11. Copy starting at DF8 until F14, and paste it in where the blank space is starting at CDC until DF8
12. Save
13. Open up the corresponding xml file again, and goto this
<Reflexive>
<Location>0xECC</Location>
<Translation>0x1098</Translation>
<ChunkCount>1</ChunkCount>
</Reflexive>
<Reflexive>
<Location>0xED8</Location>
<Translation>0x10B4</Translation>
<ChunkCount>1</ChunkCount>
</Reflexive>
these are the pointers for the passenger seat
14. Copy these pointers and change the values to there new locations
<Reflexive>
<Location>0xDB0</Location>
<Translation>0x1098</Translation>
<ChunkCount>1</ChunkCount>
</Reflexive>
<Reflexive>
<Location>0xDBC</Location>
<Translation>0x10B4</Translation>
<ChunkCount>1</ChunkCount>
</Reflexive>
<Reflexive>
<Location>0xECC</Location>
<Translation>0x1098</Translation>
<ChunkCount>1</ChunkCount>
</Reflexive>
<Reflexive>
<Location>0xED8</Location>
<Translation>0x10B4</Translation>
<ChunkCount>1</ChunkCount>
</Reflexive>
15. Save
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16. Open \vehicles\rwarthog\rwarthog.mod2.meta in a hex editor
17. search for passenger as a text string, you should be at offset 4EB
18. Open up HMT and goto the Meta Blank Space Injector
for the file, put \vehicles\rwarthog\rwarthog.mod2.meta
for size, 128 since 80 in decimal is 128, and 80 is the size of the seat data we need to insert
for offset put 4EB
19. Open \vehicles\rwarthog\rwarthog.mod2.meta in a hex editor
20. search for passenger as a text string, you should now be at offset 568, copy from here to 5E8, this is the data we want to duplicate
21. Paste this data in 4E8 up to 568
22. Save
23. Open the corresponding xml document, and look for 5A0 since this is 38 bytes down from the seat name
<Reflexive>
<Location>0x5A0</Location>
<Translation>0x948</Translation>
<ChunkCount>1</ChunkCount>
</Reflexive>
<Reflexive>
<Location>0x5E0</Location>
<Translation>0x968</Translation>
<ChunkCount>1</ChunkCount>
</Reflexive>
24. Copy these pointers and change the values to there new locations which is 38 bytes from the passenger , and passenger enter names that we just pasted
<Reflexive>
<Location>0x520</Location>
<Translation>0x948</Translation>
<ChunkCount>1</ChunkCount>
</Reflexive>
<Reflexive>
<Location>0x560</Location>
<Translation>0x968</Translation>
<ChunkCount>1</ChunkCount>
</Reflexive>
<Reflexive>
<Location>0x5A0</Location>
<Translation>0x948</Translation>
<ChunkCount>1</ChunkCount>
</Reflexive>
<Reflexive>
<Location>0x5E0</Location>
<Translation>0x968</Translation>
<ChunkCount>1</ChunkCount>
</Reflexive>
25. Save
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
26. Now look at the Translation Value, this is the value that the pointers are pointing too, youll notice that it starts at 948 and ends at 988
27. Open up HMT and goto the Meta Blank Space Injector
for the file, put \vehicles\rwarthog\rwarthog.mod2.meta
for size, 64 since 40 in decimal is 64, and 40 is the size of the seat raw location data
for offset put 948
28. Copy the data from values 988 to 9c8, paste this in at 948 to 988
29. Now open up the corresponding xml document and find the area we just edited, but you will notice that the translation values changed
<Reflexive>
<Location>0x520</Location>
<Translation>0x988</Translation>
<ChunkCount>1</ChunkCount>
</Reflexive>
<Reflexive>
<Location>0x560</Location>
<Translation>0x9A8</Translation>
<ChunkCount>1</ChunkCount>
</Reflexive>
<Reflexive>
<Location>0x5A0</Location>
<Translation>0x988</Translation>
<ChunkCount>1</ChunkCount>
</Reflexive>
<Reflexive>
<Location>0x5E0</Location>
<Translation>0x9A8</Translation>
<ChunkCount>1</ChunkCount>
</Reflexive>
We need to change the first 2 translation values back to what they were
<Reflexive>
<Location>0x520</Location>
<Translation>0x948</Translation>
<ChunkCount>1</ChunkCount>
</Reflexive>
<Reflexive>
<Location>0x560</Location>
<Translation>0x968</Translation>
<ChunkCount>1</ChunkCount>
</Reflexive>
<Reflexive>
<Location>0x5A0</Location>
<Translation>0x988</Translation>
<ChunkCount>1</ChunkCount>
</Reflexive>
<Reflexive>
<Location>0x5E0</Location>
<Translation>0x9A8</Translation>
<ChunkCount>1</ChunkCount>
</Reflexive>
30. Save
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
31. Rebuild the map including rwarthog.mod2.meta and rwarthog.vehi.meta
say no that you didn't add verticies
say no that you didn't add indicies
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
32. Edit the seat values in HMT, and if you did everything right, then you should have added another passenger seat to the Rocket Hog right ontop of the previous one

- - - - - - - - Changing Where Proj Is Shot From - - - - - - - -
1. Open Halo Map Tools V3
2. Go under the tag "mod2" - Unrecursivly Save The Meta For "weapons\flamethrower\flamethrower"
3. Open the Meta in a Hex Editor
4. You should see "primary trigger"
5. Look at the Reflexive after it
6. Open the Xml File - Search for the Location for the Reflexive ( Example - 220 )
7. Look at the Translation under it ( Example - 2E8 )
8. Go to that offset in the Meta File
9. Search for those bytes in the Map File
10. Those are the X - Y - Z coords ( floats ) where the proj is shot from - 20 Bytes Long
11. Change to your liking - Picture
Note: X = Left & Right - - - Y = Depth - - - Z = Up & Down
How you know what to change them to:
1. Open Hex Workshop
2. Highlight the numbers ( For Example - The X Coords 4 Bytes )
3. At the bottom left there should be a Data Inspector for Hex Workshop
4. See where it says Float? That is the number as a Float
- In Hex Workshop go to Tools > Base Convertor
- For Byte Order put Intel
- For Data Type put float ( 32 )
- Now - FFFF FFFF makes the Projectile dissapear for any Coord
- 0000 0000 makes it exactly centered for X Coords
- Well enuf said. I don't want to ruin the fun for you fiquring stuff out
Also - If you do not yet understand X Y Z you may want to look at this pic made by Zulu and touched up by Deadly Shadow:

Myself, Ang88, Latod Latod, Templar, Zulu, J5892
< > < > < > < > < > < >
Myself and Ang88 worked on the Mod Together
Zulu helped with Proj shooting thing - I helped him too
J5892 helped Zulu
Templar helped in the pic above
Latot Latot cleared up something with Ang88 on Seat Duplication
Hope You Enjoy - Note that we just said screw it and released it. You will fiqure out more. We will post updates. Have Fun
I'm going to try that a little later. (Btw, the idiot with the sniper is me). But I gotta do that and good job Ang and Deadly. *claps*
