What that program does:

It generates Output text files, Compresses , and uncompresses.

What does it mean: It's possible to have perma changes in maps.

How it works: The compression (For all I know) compresses and flips the data around. Example:

Tag class 0: 'coll' Collision Model
will be reversed on compress

How to change: I have not really tried it but here: Lets take Blood Gulch. Expand the map, get the output file, change this. Btw, make sure you have a backup of your map file..

http://huge.dyndns.o.../bloodgulch.txt

Look here: You can switch any of the offsets around and save.

After you changed some stuff. Make sure to compress your map and load it up, now it will always cache with your stuff.

Now I always could be wrong somewhere, I have not tried this.

btw, if you want to see your output files (Correctly). Use wordpad or MS Word, notepad has a problem viewing it.

FAQs:

How to change units.

Search for shotgun with find, located to INDEX ITEM 918..
Blood Gulch Map..

=== INDEX ITEM 918 ===
Tag class 0: 'weap' Weapon
Tag class 1: 'item' Item
Tag class 2: 'obje' Object
Unknown1: 3842638742 E50A0396 (01101001110000000101000010100111)
Filename Offset: 37039805 2352EBD
Offset: 42605588 28A1C14
Raw Offset: 8090C614
Filename: weaponssniper riflesniper rifle
=== END INDEX ITEM 918 ===

replace shotgun with sniper rifle would look like this:

=== INDEX ITEM 918 ===
Tag class 0: 'weap' Weapon
Tag class 1: 'item' Item
Tag class 2: 'obje' Object
Unknown1: 3842638742 E50A0396 (01101001110000000101000010100111)
Filename Offset: 37039805 2352EBD
Offset: 42605588 28A1C14
Raw Offset: 8090C614
Filename: weaponssniper riflesniper rifle
=== END INDEX ITEM 918 ===

Make sure that the Tag Class List Are correct for the sniper rifle. Meaning if you replace the sniper rifle with a master chief, and the Tag Classes are for the sniper rifle, the master chief will become a weapon. (Which does not sound good), Make the correct Tag Classes.

Not 100% Sure about the top one, if this fails. Do this, unload the map again and try this:

=== INDEX ITEM 918 ===
Tag class 0: 'weap' Weapon
Tag class 1: 'item' Item
Tag class 2: 'obje' Object
Unknown1: 3842638742 E50A0396 (01101001110000000101000010100111)
Filename Offset: 37039805 2352EBD
Offset: 42605588 28A1C14
Raw Offset: 8090C614
Filename: weaponsshotgunshotgun
=== END INDEX ITEM 918 ===

Take the shotgun, Now completely replace it with the sniper rifle, (1 small difference, Leave the INDEX ITEM the SAME, do not change it or it will screw up halo.

=== INDEX ITEM 918 ===
Tag class 0: 'weap' Weapon
Tag class 1: 'item' Item
Tag class 2: 'obje' Object

=== END INDEX ITEM 918 ===

There we go, copy that over shotgun, now you should have a sniper rifle, this is the second method and I am not sure this will work 100%

LOL man! you all should change the assault rifle projectiles to the rocket launcher projectiles! it rocks! a hell of a lot of rockets come out at once! LOL man

Shadowcat · « **Reply #154 on:** August 11, 2003, 02:10:00 AM »

Or change it to tank shells. Even stronger. Or just do a gren launcher. Take a shotgun projectile and change it to plasma grenade.

I dunno about grenade launchers, I tried shooting plasma grenades out of my AR and they just fell to the ground, still cool but not usefull.

From this thread, everyone seems to agree that you can only replace vehicles and not add them, but one of the pictures I've seen over on the HBO forums had 12 warthogs on Blood Gulch. Anyone know how they did it. I really want to be able to have more than 8. I've tried replacing all kinds of values, but nothing works. I can only get replacing vehicles to work for me. (i.e. 8 scorpions, 8 ghosts, 8 Warthogs)

Ok, I've followed the advice on hacking PAL Halo, but it still ain't workin' for me. Any suggestions would be great.

This is what I did:

- delete all files on x, y, z drives
- load Halo, launch Silent C, save and quit,

I think its not working because the codes for the pal version on this chat is for BG,
I can get all the stuff to work on that level. no 1 told me codes for SC
If u have any send them and il try if it works for me and not u il tell u what im doing but im sure ur doing the same as I am but wrong level

caskey · « **Reply #159 on:** August 11, 2003, 04:46:00 AM »

Has any Pal users here got any stuff to work on SC

tempchicken · « **Reply #160 on:** August 11, 2003, 05:35:00 AM »

I found a link to that picture I was talking about. Count 'em, 12 warthogs. Anyone figure this out yet?

Hey that cartographer thingo looks handy.
unfortunately for me I don't have .NET framework, my OS it too primative.

maybe that other proggy will work when it's done.

Yea... I wanted to know how you do that too.. I think what is done is that they replaced some of the weapons (rocket launcher, etc) with vehicles... but I think its easier said than done!

tempchicken · « **Reply #163 on:** August 11, 2003, 06:38:00 AM »

I've tried replacing weapons with vehicles, it doesn't work. The only thing I can find is some guy who replaced the rocket launcher model with the warthog model. This might get you more warthogs, but I doubt the replaced models would be driveable. In the video I saw he picked up the warthog and beat someone over the head with it. (Not exactly normal warthog behaviour). I would still be interested in how it is done though.

Ghost Gun -> Scorpion Shell
-----------------------------------
Rapid-fire scorpion blast is a kicker. But, you gotta be VERY careful with that loaded weapon!

Plasma Grenade Cooked -> Banshee
----------------------------------------------
This one's especially fun on The Silent Cartographer. Watching those grunts try to throw a Banshee is a gut-busting treat. The arial scenary on the island is quite beautiful too. That's where the screen shot for Cartographers main page came from.

Shotgun Pellet -> Health Pack
--------------------------------------
This just looks cool. Try jumping around while you blast.

Assault Riffle Round -> Cooked Plasma Grenade
------------------------------------------------------------
Thought this one would be really cool... but the grenades just fall out the end of the gun. It's still cool to watch someone running and jumping across the map with a trail of lit plasma grenades falling out their arse!

Warthog Gun Round -> Flame
--------------------------------------
Didn't work

. I thought that one would be really cool...

More to come! (hopefully)
