So with this we can:

Download our favorite Forge mods right off of the site.

Convert them into OUR Profiles ID (So we can play them)

Then it Resigns the usermap?

Now we can drop it into our Xbox and it will be under a slot in your maps?
(It will be playable and an option for a map)

that is SOO awesome, you have made sharing Forge Mods possible, well without meeting up with a player everytime haha.

Thank YOU SOOOO MUCH! :D

Out of curiosity.
how does this stop you from reisgning profiles and such?
ive already bumped into one person who said they used this to "hack" their profile.
in their emblem they had about 5 different emblems all mashed together in each courner.

I tried it.... and I think it works. It took me a couple of tries to get the right device ID though.

I tried spawning loads of weapons on the map, then opening the container and replacing the weapon identifiers with a flamethrower. When I loaded the map in Halo, none of the weapons I "replaced" spawned. Do I need to do something else. The good news is that it loaded, so I think it works.

I tested it befor it works. Did you make sure you swapped them with items that are actually spawned in the map?

Yeah, flamethrowers... I thought it might have something to do with max/min run times.

Try using Shade45's tool to edit the usermap.

I've done a lot of reading on xbox-hacker lately and saw a few familiar screen names. Anyway, dunna if your app was always this polished before or if you just whipped up the UI in the last 24-48 hours but nice work. Glad to see something work out!
