No sorry I was not, I know veegie was meaning that some people need to get working. I was just making a joke.

And I didnt really understand then how people mod on disc maps. Ythey stream the information to their xbox, am I correct? But thats only possible on a dev-kit, so the only possible solution for joe blow to mod is if their is an exploit or soft mod to run unsigned code?

There is no streaming of maps, if that is what you mean. They modify the map files, and their modified XEX does not check the signature of said map files. Alternatively, I believe they can modify content directly through the memory. As of right now, the public can't mod at all, because there is no exploit to allow execution of unsigned code. Even then, the current modified XEX is designed for devkits, and one would have to somehow be made for retail consoles.

But I cant remember who said it but they said something about changing the info as it is sent or received by the xbox. I didnt think that was possible.

And tural do you mod or you just know your stuff.

I don't mod, I just pay attention. I talk to Anthony and Veegie about various things frequently.

1.Oh ya, that reminds of a question I wanted to ask. Would it be possible to make sandtrap snowy like snowbound, and make valhalla sandy?

2.I heard somewhere along the posts that halo 3 modding tools will be released when the code is (blah blah can't remember :oops:). When that does happen, will an average user at that point in time be able to mod halo 3. Or we will we need advanced knowledge of the xbox 360?

3.When you say we did about who made the resigner, did you all contribute to the making of that tool?

4.My last question is, I remeber reading a post that Anothony made saying that another user who's name I cannot think of, sent him a mod that the other user made. If I could make some sort of mod using Engineer or Johnson (lol!), could I pm one of you modders to resign it for me?
Tural will delete this.
