ok i'm grateful for all the work that has been done on the map hacks/cache map hacks in halo. but when hacked they are stuck that way till you edit them again. i wanted a way to easily switch between hacks after they've been created. i created a custom gametype and didn't change any of the variables. i then created another and only changed the weapon type to just shotties. i then ftp'd to the folder on the e drive that contained the game saves. opened them up in my hex editor and tried to compare the changes between the two. unfortunately no luck. i need some help with this as i feel it would be alot easier to utilize the hacks if you saved them as game types rather than hacking the maps. granted some things have to be done via maps, but i don't think something such as using the flamethrower does. any ideas please post here. i can't work on this myself right now as my own computer is messed up. as soon as i get it running again though i'll be figuring this out

ok well i guess spotting a change isn't as easy as i had hoped for, too much changes through out the file from just one simple change.
i'm still hoping that someone will look into this as i'm not the best for hex editing. i really do think that if this could work it would be the best alternative to creating new gametypes

Create several folders on your computer. Put the corresponding map that is hacked into each folder. Then ftp to yout xbox and pick a folder and transfer it. This is what i do. I also have a virgin blood gulch map so i can always start fresh.

GREAT IDEA!!!
matter of fact thats what i do
why must everything be so simple
i know it is a pain to have to ftp and restart if ya wanna link or something but come on
it IS a small price to pay for being able to do this

Hopefully, someone will create a Xbox native hex editor/save manager app that allows direct editing and manage of files directly on the Xbox drives.

Things this app could have, that would be very useful:

1) Hex editor(duh)
2) Keyboard support
3) File management - rename/backup files
4) Patcher/Trainer creator/installer
5) Save creator
6) Mod Manager/loader

Did I miss anything? I know this is a lot - Please note: I AM NOT MAKING ANY DEMANDS FOR THIS! Just making a wish list.
