HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Nested reflexives are pretty tricky to deal with, I have a TON of code that maps out the tags based on info from each map, but it needs debugging, and I'm not really 100% up to finishing it. Although I guess I could pull a preliminary batch of IFPs/Ents/whatever the hell you want to call them, from ...

Ermmm, I don't fully understand what you're talking about, but here's how I've come to understand it. Raw Data offsets are now cached into a single data block(tagblock) in the Zone Tag, which should follow roughly this format: #define RawMagic 0xE163 #define ZoneOffset 0x24 #define RawID(x) ((x&...

Reflexives aren't exactly placed "in between" meta. Their grouping is more similar to pooling like reflexives together (ie. SubMap Reflexive is placed with almost all the other SubMap reflexives there are only certain special cases where it's not). And Anthony, I think you need to credit s...

Cool jefff, Collision vertices? Or the real deal?

Anthony and I figured it out around the same time, don't know if he wants me to spill the beans yet, but it's not really a difficult thing to figure out. Wasn't really a priority, so I kind of ignored bitmap extraction, so I never finished the extraction code in my program (and moved on to more impo...

Can't fully specify the details, but a little research in a few different zones of the mapfile might help.

Bitmap extraction isn't exceptionally hard, the structures are pretty much identical to their halo 2 counterpart (A Few Exceptions, LODs, and Shared Offsets, a few others), there should be more than enough info and open source code for anyone to extract a Halo 3 bitmap, I'd provide a few more detail...

I think it's either SHA-256, or an MD5-SUM, I also think there's a secondary hash a little bit earlier in the file, but I think it's a waste of time to look into at the moment, because I wouldn't want to try to use these maps on live :S.

I seriously have no idea why everyone is having so much trouble translating memory pointers into file offsets? I mean all the memory pointers translate perfectly when I do it, I am almost certain that the magic I calculate is the same as everyone else's(why wouldn't it be). Maybe everyone is getting...

There is no "real"(well, easy) correct way, unless you want to scan for a whole bunch of reflexives(which is not a reliable method because reflexive scanning is inaccurate), anyway, what you guys have is good enough (same method I've been using anyway :) ), because it at least gets you the...

ugh yea your right. Here i revised the code: //loop through tags for (int x = 0; x < map.index.objectCount; x++) { //declare var to hold our meta size, start it with end of meta int mSize = map.index.objectIndexHeaderOffset1; //loop through tags for (int y = 0; y < map.index.objectCount; y++) { //i...

//loop through tags for (int x = 0; x < map.index.objectCount; x++) { //declare var to hold our meta size, start it with end of meta int mSize = map.header.metaStart + map.header.metaSize; //loop through tags for (int y = 0; y < map.index.objectCount; y++) { //if tag[y]'s meta offset is bigger than...

Mike, shhhh....
Same thing.

Mike, not much has changed except a few pieces of data being compacted into a single variable (Although, expect 64bit floats), anyway the new virtual base for all the meta/all the non raw is: 0xA6000000 Which means the "Primary Magic"(Primary is redundant because I've only found one magic ...

How do I install this on my Xbox 360 ?

I've got a gigantic mod for you, want to guess where it is?

Nevermind

Yeah, let's go with that...

eww......

I'm pretty sure most of those values have already been discovered, and documented...

You should probably check out our plugins:
www.haloplugins.com

And H2X uses an old and not fully compatable plugin system, Entity's .ent is much easier to work with.
