Day 2 of hex editing

Post by BlackFoxx113 »

I've been watching my brain leak out my ear trying to correctly hex edit the files patch_v3.lvl and contentmeta.xbx, and it's becoming ruthless.

I've gotten Halo 2 to recognise new content, but it says it's damaged!

well, I'm suspecting at least, but when I reidentify the mappack ream, I get no message either saying yes or screaming no. I've been trying everything I can think of, and I've found evidence from Mimesis maps that indicate a huge difference between disk maps and DLC maps. this may help, but please call a doctor for my brain...

Update: GREAT! the people at mimesis are being all "Hush-Hush" about it.

lol sorry about that its just aht i think if someone has the courage to try something like that and wants to learn more about it i dont think that you should completely exclude them. I'm not saying that they should tell you everything about anything you want to know im jsut saying that they should at elast point you in the rhigt direction.
