HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Ok, firstly, I'm not posting this in the Halo PC modding discussion forum because everybody will say:" ZOMFG n03b ". I also know that some very intelligent modders browse this forum, so here goes...

Can I change Hex strings, like I can swap dependancies? Because if I change a weapon's name, extract and rebuild with it, the new string is not added. So would it be possible to 'steal' and unused one, like:"Picked up an Energy Sword".

Yes this is for PC

Yes, you would go to that part in the file and edit the string to whatever you want. Keep in mind though you'll have to keep it the exact same size as it was originally otherwise you'll shift data up/down and unless your some sort of mastermind that can relink everything in hex, the map will fail to load.
