HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

i keep having problems with editing my films in vanity
ive tried using entire game videos and clips and still the same thing
when i put the films back on my hard drive and try to watch them they just show up unmodded
this is exactly what i do
i open the unmodded film in Vanity
make my changes and save after every player i edit
open up my rehasher and re hash it
then i use skatezeros and superaison CON resigner and resign it
i transfer back to my HDD
then i try them in halo and they dont work

Some films won't show the edits when you edit armor.

Are you wearing Mark VI? You cant edit from it, but you can edit to it.

Wearing MarkVI has nothing to do with his problem and you can't edit to it.

i think that resigner rehashes it because as you have probably seen it does have the power to needed to hash the clips/ so it would write over the has you made otherwise.

my guy isnt wearing any mark VI
but do you suggest trying different films?
and i dont quite understand resigning and rehashing so does anyone recommend a certain tool?

well the process of resigning gives you a small little block of hex just after the header like:

its the yellow block, the true purpose of this is just to keep things out
however there is hash of the contents of the file ensuring they are all okay and that they are secure, somewhat

and that my friend is they key because there are two blocks of the hash (Sha1, right), that i have found in the usermaps and depending on the size of the file there can be 8192 bytes between both of them.

now you may think well what does this have to do with films, well with films say 10 mbs large whereas a usermap is 116 to 176 kbs the time it takes to create at the data accurately can be quite a challenge. This is the largest flaw of most publicly available resigners, they are quick but can become very inaccurate at these large sizes. Also the little block at the top is based off the hash so if its wrong then well...
(note: i could and probably, knowing my luck, will be wrong with the specifics but i..think...that the general idea is close.

If he can play the film that means his resigner is working...

oh i thought he meant that they showed up as corrupted in halo. well then...

yeah they work they just dont show my changes

did you delete the original films while in halo, then move the film onto your xbox hard drive?

no i didnt
should i?

oh yes. when you don't it causes some problems oh and something about xport360 has never deleted files successfully for me, so delete them using the dashboard or while running halo 3 then put the new film on and it should work.

ok well now after i mod an entire saved film i resign and rehash then transfer back to my HDD (after ive deleted the original film) it just says the file is corrupted

Make sure it's a small film.

Ah like how small?
Is a 50 game film too long?

50 rounds? most likely.

Oops sorry I meant 50 minutes

50min is way to long. Before films where public we tested 5 minute film and had issues.

^^.

Also I haven't found it part of a factor of time thus far.
