I think even someone who hasn't modded before can understand it.
Also, what's this about?

Anthony had a server, and shut it off..
Shades server was using Anthony's, so now his doesnt work,
and Slig was using Shades server, so now he doesnt have 1

Anthony had his resigner on a server so his friends could use it.

I don't know what thats about :S I was using Anthony signer client to sign files for a little while before he shut it down. But I've never had my own server/signer.....

Did he shut it down because some other people got access to it? I just want to know...

Before that unknown hacker stole the client signer it was turned off...

Ok i have a couple of questions

.

1.) For the HEX foge modding can i just switch the identifier on the projectiles then switch it with another proj. identifier?(in HEX)
2.) When ever i see a video on you tube or somehting like that, it says in their forged map that its like "usermap(then a bunch of numbers)" meanwhile i thought my forged files was something like: dlc_sidewinder_variant.blf.(then is this my variant? if not where and how do i get it?) Can someone please help me with these?
Thanks

No, projectiles are not stored in the usermaps, they are stored in the maps.

BLF is an image file, it is not a usermap.

Ok thanks that helped for 1.(2 also but) Do you know where/if there is a tutorial on how to find your usermaps?

You could always read the main post, considering it has a Q&A..

BLF is the default file extension for the engine's generic container (not to be confused with CON) files

Q: What interesting things can be done with gametype modding that can't normally be done in the UI? Obviously instant respawn times is possible, but could something like player speed or color be changed to a value not normally listed?

Thanks Tural, but I'm waiting on someone who can actually mod to answer

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Wed May 28, 2008 2:34 pm

Sorry that you refuse to accept the answer from someone who knows it because it has been answered before.

Gravity and speed are enums, meaning they can only be set to the listed values. They are not a stand-alone value in the map file which can be modified. So maybe you can be less ignorant now, and acknowledge that the information given to you is correct. Go read through the gametype editor thread and don't talk down to me when you don't know what you're talking about. Not modding does not mean one is not capable of knowing something, what an ignorant assumption you've made, especially when you didn't take the time to even attempt to find the information yourself. You ask for help after neglecting to look on your own, and you get help, then you decide the help, which was correct, is not good enough. That's completely reasonable.

OK, that's good to know. You could have said that to begin with.

If you mean I didn't take the hours required of trial and error and staring at a screen of hex, then you are correct. I thought I'd ask first, since, you know, this is a QUESTION AND ANSWER THREAD.

I didn't say it was wrong, it was just, well it was just the word "No." That's not really good "help," sorry.

Also, while you have cleared up the issue of gravity and speed, there ARE still other options that could be modded. I am asking if someone wouldn't mind posting a more comprehensive list of what can and can't be changed to a "unique" option (one not in the UI).

Ok, I was looking through some Halo 3 maps with the newly released plugins. Is there a "shad" tag class in Halo 3? I recall it being mentioned, but I do not see it anywhere.

I don't usually look through the maps so I just noticed.
