Well those of you who care, the HEK is finally out.

Mostly useless for people on Xbox, but it might help us understand a few things.

So I spose our next job is to do what we do best...hack the shit out of the software

Xbox Rulz, PC Suks

[but Im still downloading it to see what its like]

Still you got to admit that its a big accomplishment for bungie. Not many companies are willing to release their secrets of making the game in an editing kit. Still kinda madd that we can't use it for xbox.

well, seeing as I was able to extract some data from the new map format, I think it might be possible to take a pc map file, decompile it, and eventually recompile it into an xbox map... the directory structure hasn't changed much, but all the weapons are nolonger in a "weapons" folder... they're in an "item collections" folder... this would be a great time to say... well, I'm not up for the job....

Im tired of Halo PC getting all the fucking credit. We xbox modders barely ever get on the front page or outstanding mods section. They get all the credit for doing stupid shit thats way easier than xbox moding. Then they come into our files and our forums and ask when our hard work will be out on PC. Fuck Halo PC, Fuck HEK, and Fuck Halo PC moders.

Well, seeing as that in order to mod Halo XBox, you have to mod your XBox; it's very doubtful XBox modding will ever be made official. You can debate the finer points of the legality of XBox chipping, but it is still not something that game companies like Gearbox and Bungie want to get involved with.

Personally, I'm amazed that XBox Halo was ever modded in the first place - this is really a show of dedication to the game. However the grey-legal nature of such activities means that it will never receive the publicity that HaloPC modding will.

As regards level decompilation - this is something everybody should be looking forward to (as it will let First Strike be made!)

The funny thing is I don't understand how they can justify modding Halo PC when you mess with the game but when you mess with the xbox version its considered illegal because in order to do it you need to mod your xbox
