Download source to Mango is broken :(
Senor_Grunt: Okay, so, I was playing CoD4 earlier, and about 30 minutes into playing, the screen went black, then flashed, then the 360 gave me red rings. Only, they weren't rings, they were half of the ring. Like, only two of the controller light thingies were light up red. WTF does this mean? Like seriously. My 360 still works, but it does that like once every week at the least, and it's getting annoying getting to round 16 in the zombie mode for CoD5 (so totally not bragging ), then suddenly blacking out. :[

Hello,

I'm stone_telephone(for some reason stone telephone was censored), but I had a question about johnson, ok so I have exactly these files, the plugin folder, halo3map.dll, johnson.exe, johnson.pdb, johnson.vshost.exe, and user.config so I open up johnson.exe it looks like it should but I have no .map files, and as soon as I open johnson.vshost.exe, it has an error and must close, so I have 2 question where do I get the map files, and is the johnson.vshost.exe supposed to close like that please reply, or message me on xbox live mt gt is stone telephone.

Don't open the vshost.exe, open the Johnson.exe. And the application does not include map files. You have to get them yourself. Follow the link unknown v2 posted for more details, please.

Update with single player shared?

Excavator is the Mauler.

No, you can't post random findings. If you have structural research (Which, with your demonstrated knowledge, is highly unlikely), then you can post that.

There really is nothing to research in the maps besides the RAW/Assets.

Mango seemed to be an earlier version of Johnson. Johnson is better so just use that.

Just thought I'd post my BLF Header, a cuple things not listed:

Code: Select all

struct BLFHeader
{
       chars[4] WorldHead;
       int HeaderSize;
       short Unknown;
       short Unknown;
       short Unknown; //These 3 seem to be constant for everything
       char[34] BLFDescription;
       chars[4] SecondaryWorldHead; // mapi, chdr
       int ImageSizeWithOEF;
       int Unknown;
       int ImageType; // 0 = JFIF 1 = PNG
       ImageSize; //Without EOF
}
Also for the EOF Node, I think that the EOFSize is maybe Hash Length?

The blam file headers are generic, you're including information that isn't part of the generic container headers...
