Add fully functional target locator to all reach maps in campaign.

[vstar950]

Can anyone help me achieve this? I have edited all the halos for 360 to have customized weapons and rapid fire pistols amongst other things. My favorite is the target locator. On the actual map it is available, I have 25 of those bombs being dropped every half second. Absolutely overkill and a great show. But I would like to have a fully functional one on every map. I have tried this but I get a fatal crash upon loading the map I put it in. I could use so help here. Anyone?

I can't really help as I've never modded a game, but you would likely need le fluffie app. it can decrypt containers. also, that error is caused by dashlaunch iirc. I think it's the fatalreboot option.

So I assume you have a KK/JTAG/RGH modded device such that you can run custom code (I doubt this is within the provisions of a map editor or save editor, disc swap might be a different matter but eh).

Usual progression with this sort of thing is work up the modification ladder.

Can you unpack and repack (no changes) and have it work.

Can you unpack and repack with a replaced file with said replaced file being another level (presumably all valid data in there) and have it still work.

Can you unpack and repack with an altered file that should still be within parameters as you can divine them by analysis and looking at other files. This ostensibly to see if there is a hash (the baseline mods should defeat system level and with those available it is rare to see devs opt for further, especially outside saves, but we have been surprised before) but can also dodge item and other memory/CPU/storage/... limiting options.

Larger changes. This can be more random approaches, or more informed (copy chunks from elsewhere, analysis as you imagine it to be by looking at the format and game in action, iterative approaches on data and seeing changes, disassembly driven, leaked data from whatever, sideways moves from PC where formats are known/level editors exist...)

Arbitrary changes as you desire them.

Wherever the crash comes in is where you start to fix things and move up from there.

I dont know what you are talking about. but yes it is obvious that if there is a problem with something you have done that is where you begin fixing. I just like to do projectile swapping for the most part and change biped speeds. Even changing rate of fire. So somebody knows how to add the target locator to every map please let me know

I was trying to cover the usual method of problem solving if you are unwilling/unable to debug it instruction by instruction or at code level. That being you build up from basic changes to the more and more involved ones to try to isolate which step in the chain is the problem as right now it could be any of those and we don't know what one it is.

Equally nobody is particularly hacking 360 games like they might for PC games of the same era or consoles of earlier ones. There are some but the chances of someone knowing an obscure limit pushing option of a game like this are miniscule, which means you have to help yourself (and probably should be anyway, even if you did this for someone as well hacked as 16 bit Mario platformers you are going to get much the same response as you will need to narrow it down and nobody likes doing someone else's homework).

I would not be asking others for help if I did not put in weeks of my own time
