I'm stone_telephone(for some reason stone telephone was censored), but I had a question about johnson, ok so I have exactly these files, the plugin folder, halo3map.dll, johnson.exe, johnson.pdb, johnson.vshost.exe, and user.config so I open up johnson.exe it looks like it should but I have no .map files, and as soon as I open johnson.vshost.exe, it has an error and must close, so I have 2 question where do I get the map files, and is the johnson.vshost.exe supposed to close like that please reply, or message me on xbox live mt gt is stone telephone.

Don't open the vshost.exe, open the Johnson.exe. And the application does not include map files. You have to get them yourself. Follow the link unknown v2 posted for more details, please.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION: You could have written this also shorter.

Update with single player shared?

Just was looking around on the Johnson and noticed on Standoff under weapons, Pistol/....(not sure) ill check-/Excavator

Is this not the name of the gun on the scarab?

Also in this thread can i post stuff i find?
thanks

Excavator is the Mauler.

No, you can't post random findings. If you have structural research (Which, with your demonstrated knowledge, is highly unlikely), then you can post that.

Glitch101 · Post by **Glitch101** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 11:53 am

Ok, Sorry Tural, just working everything out- is there anything i can actually look for, or is it random findings?

There really is nothing to research in the maps besides the RAW/Assets.

I have nothing to contribute. I just saw that the mango link is down. And I want to look around with that program. Anyone have a link?

Mango seemed to be an earlier version of Johnson. Johnson is better so just use that.

Just thought I'd post my BLF Header, a cuple things not listed:

Code: Select all

struct BLFHeader
{
       chars[4] WorldHead;
       int HeaderSize;
       short Unknown;
       short Unknown;
       short Unknown; //These 3 seem to be constant for everything
       char[34] BLFDescription;
       chars[4] SecondaryWorldHead; // mapi, chdr
       int ImageSizeWithOEF;
       int Unknown;
       int ImageType; // 0 = JFIF 1 = PNG
       ImageSize; //Without EOF
}

Also for the EOF Node, I think that the EOFSize is maybe Hash Length?

The blam file headers are generic, you're including information that isn't part of the generic container headers...
