Well, the highest you'll get with an unsigned byte is only 255.. >_<

Wouldn't the 255 be the enum count and not the kill count, if that's the case then it would allow for a large amount of kills still. Even if it isn't 255 is a lot of kills...

If it is an Enum. I don't know, I was just going with what Dark was saying and he phrased it as being the byte's value is the killcount, not an Enum Index.

I doubt they will be using enum's More likely a struct. You can assign dataTypes other than the enum's datatype to it.

Im listening...please continue, i would love to have 1% Gravity...But if 0x00 is 50% gravity and 0x06 is 300% (the highest), how would the game know that you want 0x07 to be 500%? Or maybe im not understanding what you mean...

The kill count isnt an enum, its a byte value. Default is 16h (25 kills) and sometimes 32h (50 kills).

Yeah I wasn't saying you were wrong, he was just talking about enums and I thought that kills were now an enum too. I guess he's specified that they're a byte value so I guess the max will be 255, who needs more than that anyway.

Good job, will you release the source?

Flash ??
Why Flash ???
I can connect my PC with the HDD and put then the Gametypes on it, but Flash ...
Do you mean DVD-Flash ???

I remember Anthony telling me there wasn't much else you could 'hack' in gametypes except instant respawn, but I would still use this to create my gametypes; it has a more pleasing interface than the one in-game.

I may release the source, but i highly doubt it. I will probably release the pre-compiled .dll's that contain the various variant structs along with the offset pre-programmed for each item.

Well, i prefer not to make this known, but there is something im interested in at 1BL on the console's flash.

My box is flashed, i'll help out if you still need it.

I assume the input boxes are restricted/limited so users can not enter values that will cause the game to crash? For example, parts of the gametype that take an enum will have a drop down list of selectable values rather than allowing a user to input an integer?

I offered to help program but you want me to help you crack the CON key? >_<

The_Dark_One555 · Post by **The_Dark_One555** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 8:10 pm

Well i have the key thanks to a certain someone im not mentioning. I also have a dump of the 1BL.bin and all i need to do is find a way to resign using that key...

Don't call out other members.

No, don't post about it, it's not important.

So what's the legality/HaloMods policy here around resigning 360 containers? I'm pretty sure the containers have 2048 bit signatures, so there's no way in hell that anyone just "cracked" that. Someone must have gotten the private keys, possibly stolen/leaked from Microsoft. Are we gonna be able to post links to or host material capable of resigning 360 containers, or are people going to have remove that feature from the app and require us to go fetch a separate tool from Xbins?

It's a gray area, and it can not be easily defined. As situations arise, we will analyze them. Until we have something solid to base specific rules on, we'll just enforce things as we see fit. We won't be banning people for something not against any rules, but if it's something like a cheating method, manipulation of gamerscore, whatever, we aren't going to allow it. Members with the technical knowledge of this sort of thing should have the judgment to know what can or can't be posted.
