You should be able to find all the information about the map by hexediting the
*.dat file. There should be XML near the beginning of the file starting with
<LevelData>. If you use linux or something similiar, the easiest way would
be this command: "strings *.dat |grep LevelInfo" -- that will print all the
info you should need.

I would be interested in viewing this when you've got it all set up.

I have all the maps I've downloaded from xlink kai here ->
http://silenceisdefe...~taylorasdfjkl/

These arent' necessarily the best maps, but they are
all the ones I've encountered so far. Included is the bash
script I wrote to generate the zip files.

good luck!

You should rate them for us. Based on a 5 star scale. Maybe we could get a website setup for user maps with comments and ratings, like www.xbox-skins.net or www.xboxsaves.com.

I would be very interested if I wasn't so busy with work and school, but I'll continue to add
maps I've downloaded to the above webpage (until I've used up my 50 mb space), so you can add them to your site if desired. (http://silenceisdefe.../~taylorasdfjkl)

by the way, have you figured out how to extract the screenshot from the map file?
(I'm assuming there's one embedded, so it can be displayed on the map selection screen)

Can't wait to get this game, sounds awesome, didn't know there was already user-made maps already

I've got a modding website I've been working on for some time, but nothing is released to public yet.

Wow! I didn't know you actually made the maps right on the xbox, that is awesome (I just got the game). I'll try to get something up so people can share maps with other people. Wow, is all I can say. Should look into adding new guns as well

Storm, there's an incredible built-in map editor that people are using to create these. Nothing's been hacked, but that doesn't mean it won't ever be. This really isn't a game hacking subject, but it's probably the best place for any discussion. Sorry, if I busted your bubble.

i have tryed switching and even hex editing the text and then the code underneath it to get different objects in with different templates but to no avail,so ya just give it time and the map editor wont be so fuckin limited,i mean i just cant understand they dont let us put zipcords or turrets in our own maps what the fucK?

Um?..i have a question....
I have been doing some maps for this game, but i cant seem to play them in Splitscreen.

I have done most maps compatible with all 3 modes (chaos, Team chaos & predator),
but none of them show up in the map selection menu when i choose multiplayer / split screen. (couldnt find any info about this.)

Any help would be cool.

Btw, i havent tried playing on Xlink Kai yet.

Aha! Seems my buddy manage to fix this small problem,
he just deleted the "Profile" that was in the same folder where my maps were located.
(heh, sorryf for my pointless post.)

jeremy its alot harder then you think.and its not really hacking but editing.first off the object limitation is for the ram of the xbox thats why u can only plant so much shit.what i was talking about its switching the brush sets or so to allow everything in one map from all 3 brush sets,as i stated tho thers also many very good objects that were just left out mainly (because i think ubisoft doesnt want some 12-18 year olds to rival ther maps with no education in the field cuz you have to remember these people who make the maps make somewhere are paid around 40-50 thous)

the levels themselfs are written in binary allegra(identfying marks of the language are slh or hls i forget search for that in your hex and your sure to find it in everysingle map file and until someone makes some type of unpacker/extractor its not gonna happen

I'm putting up a huge game modding website soon, it'll have a place for people to upload maps for FarCry, and anything else you can think of.
