uh.. what?

No I didn't. Neither do I believe this. Picture-proof me.

...yes and someone once told me years ago that you could actually drive into the volcano in battlezone and there was like 3d-aliens shooting at you. However that turned out to be a myth too...

I noticed your program has a "Resign" button. Does it really work?

This whole "hacking into Bungie" discussion is ridicoulus.

Well you're not gonna get your hands on those unless you work at Bungie. They're custom written just for Halo 3 by inhouse developers and are ofc not released in the wild.

So what is OFC? ofc = of course Also does anyone know what program was used to make halo 3 or list of programs? (This was the main question I needed answered) A bunch of inhouse programs most likely. ...I was thinkin more of an app that adds characters to the list of usuable characters for multipla...

Updated (check first post).

What do you mean? Are you sitting on something you're not telling us?

Anything you've seen in SP maps are ofc possible since they are there. It would technically be possible to swap models, and I would say there are already programs to support it (check the apps forum). However, we still have to figure out the hashing algorithm to be able to "resign" the map...

Why don't you guys just null out the part that reads the hash in the xex? However, I'm not sure how to find the memoryaddress to it without a debugger...

So you know WHERE the hash is located now?

I we had a debugger on the 360, this world would be ours now... to play with..

Yes, something like that. Here's the source if anyone wants it. It's written in VC++ 2005...

Wrote an app to calculate the SHA256 hash. It can calculate the hash of a whole file, a portion of a file or plain text. Could be nice to test on some h3 maps...

Ok noone here has given you any advice at all and we all started here by knowing nothing about the halo map file formats. So I'm willing to help you out since I understand that you have the "willing spirit". Learning what hexadecimal numbers are is a good start yes, but that's not actually...

It would not be possible to include the hash in the hashed data.

Ok, so you xor the next read dword with the checksum.
Xoring with 0? XORing a value with 0 would be rather pointless. :p

Lol, I want a documentation over the file-format. I know this is in the H2 White Paper, just can't find a working link to download it.

XORing with what?
