It's only restriction was you had to have a save on the xbox which is their "check" if you've at least played the game, but they claim it's a check if you own the game. But of course, you're asking this so there's no worries.
When I get a chance, I'll look and let you know exactly which disc they plastered it on.

Thanks for the info guys, I actually forgot about SC for a while this I say an article about the new level just released and it looks great. Im a big fan of SC and I cant wait to play it some more  More about the new level here Vselka Part One I think that once SC2 is released, they should give out free tools for us to mod and make our own levels in SC, that would be great for the XBox scene and keep a great game going strong (it worked for Halflife). |
thats good and all, but technically, you "shouldnt" be able to modify your xbox games.
I have been trying to get something going with ghost recon too though.

| Andy 0113 is right. I received Tom Clancy's "Exclusive Companion Demo Disc" for preordering Rainbow Six 3. The disc includes a playable demo of Rainbow Six 3, new missions for Ghost Recon: Island Thunder and 3 new missions for Splinter Cell - Kola Cell [already available via several means], Vselka Infiltration and Vselka missions. I got it from GameStop but heard it was also available at EB Games - US. |
i'll make sure to "pick" that up, just like i picked up the pre-order disc for True Crime and put it in my pocket,.... i mean and payed for it

yes that does sound stupid.
you must own the game to be able to play the downloadable levels. It puts them on your e drive, and when you play splinter cell off of dvd or hd, you can choose those levels to play on.
Otherwise, I have no forking clue what you are talking about.
You can't play the levels with just the demo.

to play it open the save game and select missions ( ie ones completed before and the new levels will be at the bottom)
they are basically just a large save game file

Um.. I don't think any of Splinter Cell's new levels are demos...
You could go out and rent this game, create a profile, return the game, and then "apply" these new levels. ...You can't play them, but you'll have them. Pretty dumb, but that's all I meant by this... that I'm aware of.
All you need is that save. Of course, you could upload a save from xbox-saves and get the same effect. All it does is search for that save file/folder. It's really the only proof to that disc that hints if you own a game or not.
Sorry if I'm still being confusing.
But I think what andy_0113 is saying is along the same lines. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's what I may have meant!

I looked at the save folder for Unreal Championship (/TDATA/49470024/). Inside it has two folders "$u" and "$c". Inside $c it has the downloaded levels, and inside $u is some updated .xbe's
Since the updated items all seem to be stored there, I think it can packed up as a save, and distributed.
Post by: XLNC on October 04, 2003, 11:25:00 AM
I ended up downloading a level of Kola Cell that was obviously taken from the hard disk and zipped but never worked, when I tried loading the checkpoint it said 'Uable to load Splinter Cell Checkpoint. Press A to continue'.
Does anybody know where I can get the actual installer or a working version of Kola Cell. PM me if you know.
Post by: Bodom78 on October 05, 2003, 06:33:00 AM
As for modding SC, I guess UbiSoft would never release a kit for people to make their own maps, but people in the scene seem to be making good progress with modding games like DOA Vollyball and Halo. I dont know anything about the process but I guess whole levels, animations, weapons and so forth would be a hell of alot harder without special tools.

You can't just install the folder, you need an "installer" persae. That's how the companion disc works.

If anybody wants I can upload the three new levels of SC. Their 96MB in total, it's basically a stipped down version of the Rainbow six companion disc with the SC levels and the installer and everything else is taken out.

| Yep, you can run the companion disk from the HD using the same method as running emulators, apps and games. Once you run the disk, from the menu install all the levels. Thats it, then load up your origional Splinter Cell game and the new levels will be in the load level screen. |
so put the extra levels on the hard drive and put the origianl game in and load the levels?Also do I ahve to do anything to .xbe files?

Yes, when you load up the companion disk, you can install the levels to your HD. After that just load up your game like normal, select a previous save, and then in the level select screen you will be able to choose the new stages. I didnt have to mess with any .XBE's.

The companion disk is 161 meg total, it's only contains addon levels for Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon. Oh, and I have a full copy of SC and saves on my HD already and using a PAL XBox. Cheers. EDIT: Cant explain why, but I got it to work. I just deleted the default.xbe and transfered it over again. |
No actually I am talking about the companion disk. I made the .ISO from my original copy that came from EB Games. It has 4 playable demos on it also. Maybe what you have only has the levels on it?
ANd the Splinter Cell game is almost 3 Gb (2.76Gb or around there)
