Just open the actual map in Engineer and look under the vehi tag for the troop hog. Then write down the ident and you are good to go.

But do i go into the .map file with Engenier or Johnson but which is the idenifeir i need to fined cause there are like three difernet lines with numbers and also do i go under tags or strings and once i have the thing i want to replace do i go in the usermap with hex edit and find the one i would ...

Yeah this thread needs to be locked. It is impossible; it is a dead end.

OK then what I do to find the user-added spawns is do a Find for the data "00830000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF0000." You could do a Find for the data "00290000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF0000" to get all the reserved placement blocks, etc.

Uh, you can't even have that many objects on a usermap...

You can tell just by looking at the hex. This is the two first bytes in a Placement Block: (From Shade's white paper, with a few added comments) public enum BlockType : short { Player_Spawn = 9, //9(hex) Reserved = 41, //29(hex) Added = 131, //83(hex) Original = 137, //89(hex) - ignored and loaded s...

What if you posted a screenshot of a usermap mod that wasn't leaked? Like this one: http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/402/loliu5.jpg

There are reserved spawns in every Forge map that can only be moved or altered slightly, but not deleted.

Who is right?

Actually they were both in agreement. The transfer process does involve resigning, but that has to be done at a software level for (extremely) obvious reasons.

Yeah, I'm suprised I didn't know about this. Thanks Tural.

It's how it is perceived. The general public, the Bungie.net-going public is, for lack of a better term, almost entirely retarded. Their responses to it are completely retarded and it gets blown way out of proportion. News sites pick it up and start posting about mods in Halo 3 and whatever. If it ...

Video plz?

I didn't say he was. I was just stating that fact for anyone who wishes to know. Also, I personally don't think releasing a modded usermap that can't be used in any way for cheating is being an ass, but apparently Bungie does.

Yeah, you can only spawn what is already designated to be in the map file as an object with an ident (doesn't have to be spawnable in Forge though). You have no way to modify that particular object other than spawning it and adjusting coordinates, rotation, number on map, etc. Also, I heard the troo...

I know this is obvious, but you can simply change the usermap's author in the BLF header if you are worried about accountability/banning. I don't think there is any other way to trace a modded map back to you (as long as you dont do something stupid and fileshare it).

A tip to avoid 176 kb files: In forge select Save as new map, instead of saving changes. All new maps are 116 kb in size, while maps with saved changes are 176 kb.

err...Right. So, I created a pretty hilarious usermap the other day. It's 40 of the really big man cannons from Avalanche, all aimed straight up and right next to each other in a grid. It makes a big bouncy pit, and I built walls around it. My plan is for people to spawn above it with grav hammers ...

hehehe

I really doubt that would be possible with a forge mod because that would require swapping dependencies.

Yeah you can't do that without modding.
