Modifying Halo 2 "old" maps on the Xbox 360

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 03:04:08 +0000

To get modded old maps on your 360 using xSata or xUort is by downloading them on the internet and then using MapConvertorPro, and a simple rename.

Trusted site for unmodded maps:

Number of downloads: 0

In order to play an old map (Halo 2 Disk Map) online, you will need to make it read as one of the new maps (Xbox Live Downloadable Content).

This is where MapConverterPRO comes in.

[list][*] 1. Open up any old map in MapConverterPRO.[*] 2. Click on the drop-down box in the middle.[*] 3. Select the new map that you want your old map to read as.[list][*] EX: You want Ascension to read as Warlock... scroll down in the dropdown box and select Warlock[/list][*] 4. Hit convert.[*] 5. Now your old map reads as the new map you selected.[*] 6. *Important* Go into the folder that you put the converted map (the old one) and rename it to the map you want it to read as.[list][*] EX: Go to the folder that contains the newly converted Ascension, right click on ascension.map, click rename and type in warlock.map[/list][*] 7. Open up your hard drive image for xSata/xPort and go to the folder which has the new map that you converted in it.[list][*] \Partition 3\Compatibility\Xbox1\TDATA\4d530064\$c\4d53006400 000001[list][*] 4d53006400000003 contains Backwash, Elongation, Dune (Relic), Gemini, and Triplicate (Terminal)[*] 4d53006400000001 contains Warlock and Containment[*] 4d53006400000002 contains Turf and Deltatap (Sanctuary)[*] 4d53006400000004 contains Derelict (Desolation) and Tombstone (highplains2)[/list][*] xPort names the folders for you, so it will be easier. However, Xplorer Extreme works just fine.[/list][*] 8. Now drag your modded map (renamed) over to the folder that contains the new map you wanted your old map to read as and it will overwrite it.[list][*] EX: Take the Ascension (now warlock.map) and put it in 4d53006400000001 folder which contains Warlock.[/list][*] Congratulations, your modded old map now reads as a new map and it can be played on xbox live/xlink[/list]
*Do not play on Xbox Live with this. Respect Bungie, play on XBConnect or X-Link Kai (both tunneling applications used to simulate Xbox Live)*

Making a Ragdoll

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 11:03:35 +0000

Ragdoll
turk645

Tutorial:
This tut will explain how to make your own ragdoll mod and also explain a little about the glitches there are with it.

First update your bipd and jpt! plugins if you haven't updated in a while.
Updated Jpt! Here: jpt_.rar (1.77K)
Number of downloads: 2

1. On the [bipd] you want to have ragdoll check off the bit masks "Uses Limp Body Physics", "Has No Dying Airborn", and "Random Speed Increase." It has to be all three or else ragdoll messes up.

2. Set the ragdoll timer. This will determine how long you can stay in ragdoll once triggered. So far Ive seen it only go up to 5.5 before it stopped getting any longer.

3. Go to the [jpt] you want to trigger the ragdoll. If you want it like my SP mod then you should go to a bullet [jpt], if you want to ragdoll yourself you will choose a trigger. Show invisibles and you will see two bitmasks labeled ragdoll.

Thats it, you now have ragdoll on the bipd of your choice.

Known glitches

Not SLC- for some reason this doesn't work over system link. But the lack of death animations is still a side effect so you can still ragdoll if you have a gun killl yourself instantly and have a 10 second respawn time.

"empty shell"- One glitch of ragdoll is that if you die when standing perfectly still your body wont ragdoll but float where you where untill blown away by a grenade.

up up and away- if you are ducking in mid air when you get ragdolled and let go of it it will send you flying into the air

No jmad- Sometimes if you melee someone when you are ragdolled it will force you out of it but you wont use any animations and your body will still be in the position it was on the ground.

vehicle freeze- if you try to ragdoll someone on a vehicle they will stand up while they are still in it and the game will freeze if they die while still in the vehicle.

floor slide- If you try to jump while in ragdoll you will end up sliding across the floor. This is also really funny to do. You can also still fire your gun while in ragdoll.

Grav Throne in MP

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 11:48:41 +0000

THIS IS USING INSOLENCE NOT DOTHALO

Step 1- Open Maps
First, open Insolence. Now, open the multiplayer map in which would like use the Gravity Throne.
Also open any campaign map in which contains the Gravity Throne. For this tutorial I will use coagulation.map
and 06b_floodzone.map.

Step 2- Drag & Drop
To bring the Gravity Throne completely into the multiplayer map, there's just one tag that we're going to need
to drag over: objectsvehiclesgravity_thronegravity_throne.vehi. Left click it once to select it, then left
click again and drag & drop the tag into coagulation.map. It will add it recursively.

Step 3- MoveBox
Each time you drag & drop a tag, a small status box will pop up to give you information about what the program
is doing while you wait. The longest part is usually "Relinking" and it may seem like it froze.. it didn't, it
just has to do a lot of file reading & writing at this point, so let it be. When the move is done, this box
will go away. You can now close your campaign map.

Step 4- Fix the Seats
Since this vehicle was made for campaign and only meant to be driven by non-playable characters, you're going
to need to edit it to make it work for you in multiplayer. I'm going to walk you through fixing the driver seat.
Double click the gravity throne's vehicle tag that you just added to open it up with its IFP. Switch to "Dev Mode"
and click on the "unknown11" reflexive. The first chunk (#0) is the driver seat. Change it's first string ID to
"ghost_d". This is necessary because the MC and the MP elite don't have the animations for using the Gravity Throne,
but they do for the ghost.
At the top of the plugin area, click on "Change Plugin" and switch to the XML vehicle plugin. Go to the "Seats"
reflexive. Change the "Fire Weapon (H)" flag to "True".You can now close the gravity_throne.vehi tag.

Step 5- Place the Gravity Throne
There are a number of ways to place the Gravity Throne on the map. I am going to replace the Rocket
Launcher with it. Go to "multiplayersingle_vehiclesbanshee.vehc" click on it and after, right click
on it and select duplicate. Now click on "multiplayersingle_vehiclesbanshee2.vehc" and after right click
on it and select rename, then write : multiplayersingle_vehiclesthrone . Double click the gravity throne's
vehicle collection tag (throne.vehc) that you just added to open it up with its IFP. Click on the
"Vehicle Permutations" reflexive, now click on "visible dependencies", you'll see the banshee's vehi tag,
replace it to the throne vehi tag (objectsvehiclesgravity_thronegravity_throne) click somewhere blank
to save and close the tag. Now we are going to the Coagulation scenario
(scenariosmultihalocoagulationcoagulation.scnr). Open it with the IFP click on
"change plugin" and select swapper. Search itmc tag : "multiplayersingle_weaponsrocket_launcher"
click on it, now in the left botom corner choose vehc instead of itmc and in the right choose
"multiplayersingle_vehiclesthrone" then click on Save, close the tag.

Step 6- Fix Encryption
Select "Fix Map Encryption" from the Map Options menu, close the map, and FTP it up to the Xbox.

If I can give you an advice, increase the speed of this vehicle in the XML vehi tag.

70. Basics on dot halo

Dot halo is a program that you use to use to make your own personal mods. You can even post your modz if you want to. I wrote some things from my website that I thought that I might make you like to post. Just to let you know, I wrote it. So read this its very important.:

Now here is the basics on making modz:

Quote

Now you'll need dot halo, the program that you use to make your modz

Now once its open and ready simply click open map . Now it should open up your documents, or your maps. With the maps open choose the one of choice. Now to change what the weapon does go to the [weap] tag, or the projectile tag.

Now on the left click on the small box with a very small cross in it. Now it should open up the tag and you should see a bunch of words. Now when it says objects/weapons/pistol/plasma_pistol/pistol_pistol. That is the plasma pistol tag. Now you should be familiar on choosing the tags. Now if you want to change what the plasma pistol shoots out do over to the Dependencies/LoneIDs/Reflexives window, or the window with a lot of things that you can click on. Now click on [proj]. Now if you want a plasma pistol to shoot out a rocket go to the drop down box that is right under the tag class drop down box. Now scroll down to the rocket tag. Now save changes.

If you want to make your weapon shoot out a different thing (like a pink shield on turf) look at the first drop down box. That drop down box is called the tag class drop down box. Now change it from [proj] to [mach]. Now click on pink shield.

Getting the files ready
Make a new folder on you desktop (call it whatever you want). Here is where we will put all the files that we are going to burn onto a DVD. Here are some pictures to show what files should be in this folder.

You don't need the bink folder if you don't want to (In the bink there's the Microsoft intro and the credits) It's very important that you have the default.xbe file. Also you will have to have the media folder.
To get the default.xbe file and the media folder (including everything in that folder) you can get them from your original halo2 disk via FTP (i'm uploading those files for the people that cant FTP)

These files should be in the media folder

In the maps folder you put your modded and resigned maps. You will also need the following files:
[list][*]-shared.map (If you want to play multiplayer maps)[*]-single_player_shared.map (if you want to play single player maps)[*]-mainmenu.map[/list]

You must have these files in the fonts folder which is in the maps folder.

Load up Qwix and click there.

Select the folder you created on your desktop earlier this way
[list][*]1. Tick the little dot[*]2. Click on the 3 dots[*]3. Select you folder you made on your desktop with all the your maps and files[*]4. Click OK[/list]
