Question

[Mod4]

I don't know much about .map modding, but I do have an Xbox 360 SDK, and I saw an article somewhere teaching you how to modify your .XEX. Anyways I just wanted to know if anyone could tell me or hint or something on what to do next. I'm not expecting anyone to release programs hold my hand or spoon feed me info. Any help would be appreciated.

Please do not flame me...

Well first off hopefully you have an actual devkit rather than the software for the pc. (the sdk)

well modding is just like halo 2 except that you need a Xex that bypasses the maps signature. Then you use engineer or Johnson to modify changes to the map then pass them back to the dev

Having an Xbox360 SDK doesn't mean anything. Even if you had a modded Halo 3 XeX, you don't use it with an SDK, it's for Dev Kits.

Ok sorry I'm a newbie at this but Halo 3 was created with XNA, I have that kit, can that be used?

Alright just checking. Ok so I have an XDK, where do I go from there? Modify the .XEX?

If you have a Dev Kit, you must then modify the Halo 3 xex to bypass the map signature check. After that, you can go mod the maps all you want.

Yes I have one, so there are differeent XEXs for each game? Where would I locate this?

P.S: I have an account on S7 named Mod4, I wasn't attempting to impersonate the Mod4 here .

EDIT: I was reading around this section, is it true you can't run a modified XEX on a retail console?

Do you have a retail console, or a dev console? I think you're confusing the XNA SDK and a Dev Kit.

Unfortunately no its not possible to run a modified xex on a retail console. But it would take smart people who know what their doing and a lot of hot pockets to do it, if indeed it could be done.

I'm a little confused, is the dev kit an actual object or a softare package?

Google.
Hardware.
Inform.

It's a 360 designed for developers. Chances are, you don't have one.

People abbreviate any kit used in the development and it's surrounding processes as just a devkit.

Devkits can include:
Development Kits(actual devkits)
Test Kits
Reviewer Kits
Demo/Demonstration Kits.

XNA =/= XDK.

We already answered what needed to be answered.

You're only getting closer to the ultimate rank of CE Mike.

You crack me up Detox! While I'm here, any luck on your end with the bsp/collision compiler code for xna?

Umm.. I don't remember making anything in XNA.

I don't even remember compiling a BSP or Collision with XNA either.

Stop being such a goddamn towel. Infact..
This is you.
