I used the Silent Cartographer list above to make an HCE list, and can edit the values, but when I start the game it always replaces the cache file - either if I continue my old SC game or change the difficulty level. It is cache000.map isn't it? Any suggestions? Thanks, B

tried it too
HCE doesn't seem to write anything
downlaoded cache
edited it with HCE
rebooted (wihtout going to Halo)
then binary compare, nothing found
gonna check that out

anyone found sp maps working??

[broadd]

I tried those codes for PAL Silent Cartographer, Egghead, by manually editing the hex, but it locks up on load :-(

Are they working for you?

on silent i have so far been able to replace the warthog with the following

Banshee
Lifepod
Pelican
Covnant Dropship

and projectiles
Ar bullets to rockets
banshe bolt to rockets

i'll post others when i find them.

CODE

======================= VEHICLES ======================= OFFSET - 0C78BF98 VALUE - ECECE580 (WARTHOG) OFFSET - 0C78CFD4 VALUE - 5018E980 (BANSHEE) OFFSET - 0C78DC58 VALUE - CC24EB80 (LIFEPOD) OFFSET - 0C78DEBB VALUE - 849DEC80 (PELICAN) OFFSET - VALUE -  E0BCED80 (C DROPSHIP) OFFSET - 0C78E8D8 VALUE - 7801EF80 (FALLING BOX) OFFSET - 0C78E918 VALUE - 7808EF80 (GHOST)

im working on the weapons now

Well Done EggHead,

your values worked fine with my PAL version. Just curious, how did you go about extracting the offsets. I'm willing to help, but a starter on the map file structure will save me a lot of time.

Has ne body else used my values and got it to work or had ne problems Take a look at 'OnlyMe's post just above and try some of them (For some reason his banshee offset is dif to mine)

i got my code from the hex file itself i searched for "ihevtinuejbo" without the "" and it brought up around 52 results so i started making notes of the last 4 bytes of the line EG

CODE

6968657674696E75656A626F8B06FFE795763D80ECECE580

CODE

ihevtinuejbo = 6968657674696E75656A626F warthog = ecece580 offset = 0C78BF98

and from finding the warthog code thanx to another msg in this post i changed it value with the ones i found one at a time and saved loaded and there it was a banshee/ghost/lifepod/pelican/dropship

[Lucatarik]

anyone know how i can find the offset for "cartographer"(the program)?

every mp pal level is done did some of my own, rest is done by Stefander download here - Where do i put these files?? Since in HCEv0.3 there are no .bin files in the "maps" folder... only .ini files? Sorry, but I'm new to this halo hacking scene

use this for v0.2
wait for v0.4 then I'll convert bin's to ini, etc
maybe if EggHead has more interesting news I can use that

[caskey]

i changed pistol bullets and AR bullets to fire rockets and it freezes my game every time i go to fire.

[caskey]

heres another one too i changed the warthog to the banshee and flew around in it ok for 15 seconds and it froze up on me.

[EggHead]

OK after a lot of testing I have decided to release the information I have found.
To convert NTSC offsets to PAL offsets only in Single Player is quite simple
but to find the raw data is just plain annoying (all manual)

Examples:
Object-------------------------NTSC Offset------------PAL Offset
Equip - Health pack----------c78af38----------------c78ef38
Equip - Over shield-----------c78ad38---------------c78ed38
Weap - Pistol------------------c77ee58---------------c782e58
Proj - Needle-------------------c790818---------------c794818

As you may have noticed only one set of numbers have been altered
ie. c790818 => c794818
All the conversion is the addition of 4 to this set of numbers or 4000 to the offset
c790818 + 4000 = c794818
c77ee58 + 4000 = c782e58

**Remember: If you do the calculation in your head, remember it is in hexadecimal
**Remember: Do not use the NTSC raw bytes (the A4 D1 19 81 ect.)

This works on all single player maps. Please report if you find any errors
or even just a conformation that this did work (plz include what you changed)
