dmauro can i ask what default value was at offset 0x89030000 which you replaced ? if i have that i can try searching for it in the cache file and try and try to do this on my pal box. (not sure if it will work but its worth a try)

there seems to be a prob with ppfinfo
cos that offset doesn't exists it's too big
the file does some weird stuff for me

[dmauro]

There wouldn't even be anything at offset 0x89030000 in the largest single player map.  That offset is wrong, very wrong.

PS:  then look in a virgin cache at that offset and get the bytes following it...

I just made a number off the the top of my head. So its meta date + some number? if so i can figure it out.

Why not have pistol shots be sniper rounds so you could see them coming like the matrix?  Plasma bolts seem cool and all, but sniper shots seem like the closest thing to a matrix bullet.  jack up the shield a little and there ya go: Matrix modded in terms of projectiles.

[dmauro]

I don't think sniper bullets have a model either.  Whatyou could do is make a new model based on the rocket.  Remove the tail fins and shrink it down.  Then it would like like a bullet.  Slow it down and you're all set.

 maby you could help me when you have some time dmauro?

[343GuiltySparkIVIX]

SO.... could you tell me the offset? i cant use HCE. ill see if i can fund the "magic number" that way.

[XBOX War3z]

anyone else had some luck with this?

Hey D is there an offset or sumthing so i can add the sniper trail ot other weapons? That would make camping a buttload harder on BG

If the projectile already has a contrail, you can just change it to the sniper bullet contrail.  If it doesn't then it would be a little more difficult.

Ifg i do a search for that value, do i need all those 0's?  also, 89030000 isnt a valid offset, is there something im doing wrong?

bump bump bump! Please help me!

How do you convert that offset? Basically what I'm trying to do, like the rest of us, is make a certain weapon on BG shoot a certain projectile and make if home in on whoever you shot it at, just like the rockets did.

BUT, that offset that was followed by the long line of numbers (0x89030000) doesn't exist in the BG cache file.

So either:

a.) Someone needs to convert that offset into some other kind of offset that "Hex Editor" can read
b.) TigerHawk posted the wrong offset

Considering, Dmauro, you are the very best Halo modder here, and are here the most often out of all the well-known Halo modders, could you please help us with that offset Dmauro?
