With the new co-op maps out, the first thing I thought of was editing the co-op maps on Live (since they're on the hard drive) All I want to do is change the starting equipment which looks like it can be done from a config file. I havn't done any SCCT modding previously so correct me if I'm wrong. Anyone know if they've taken any kind of safety precautions to prevent people from doing this? Obviously I wouldn't be doing this to 'cheat' or gain an unfair advantage over anyone, so don't think I have any ill intentions here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I tried editing one of those config files once, it didn't like it.  There is a ton of stuff that would be fun to change in there, but for the sake of online play im glad it isn't as simple as it looks.

Anyone have a list of everything that comes with the update and DLC? I'm trying to get the new co-op maps to work on my other, modded xbox, but it's not working.

I came across the new maps for SCCT but I dont know where they go. I know that they go under the TDATA folder but then what. i have two folders 55530038 & 55530041. I replaced them but I still cant see the maps?
Anyone?

\E\TDATA\55530038 are the co-op maps, E\TDATA\55530041 are the versus maps. I check every folder in TDATA and UDATA. Other than my profiles, there's nothing else SCCT related that I could find, and I checked every folder twice. When I copy them to my other xbox it says Damaged Content. I also tried copying my profiles over, but no dice.

I got the content from live on one xbox, and ftpd it over to my other xbox that i cannot access live with - no go. scct didn't complain about damaged content, just ignored it altogther. the problem is the contentmeta.xbx hash signature, that hashes the dlc content and information contained in your eeprom data. i cloned my eeprom, modified the mac address stored in the eeprom so both xboxes would work on the same lan, and it works fine. now i can play the new coop maps with a friend at my house but, if i want to play with somebody across the net they need the content from live or my eeprom... now, i tried using cdx with action=offlinecontent to install the dlc but it didn't work - which might indicate (if i did it correctly) that ubi use their own algorithm for the contentmeta.xbx hash, which devs are quite allowed to do (the cdx method works fine for halo2 and many other games). one approach would be to remove the hash check from the game xbe (sc3.xbe for coop) or better yet, reverse engineer the hash. anyway, good luck with whatever approach you decide. i'm not interested in modifying the content particularly - the game's balance seems just right. thanks ubi for making such a wonderful game

Of course, another approach is to try and incorporate the DLC into the game content on your hdd or disc image, which is trivial with the $u updates and the versus content. I don't know how one would do that with the coop content though :/

i know nothing about hacking these maps or files except what ive read from you guys... and id love to see a custom map made for co-op and or versus... its a shame the PC users can make maps at there own will while we have to live with the few and far between ubi decides to give us...

oh well.. SC4 soon enough

my co-op is well invincable still lol

i hear sam fisher dies in sc4

i havent gotten the live content as of yet, but if i remember the file system from when i was doing some stuff with it months ago, you may be able to move the content to the corresponding files WITHIN the game files.  in general, you will not be able to modify the content itself and have it usable on live at all.  as mentioned, the files are signed with contentmeta.

for some games, you CAN get the content to work from your tdata by editing the default.xbe to bypass the contentmeta check, but again, this will not work on live, since the default.xbe is on the hd.
