Color a Map/Film description !

Post by ALeXtHeBLiNd »

Hi guys. Do you want colors in your Map/Film description ? =)
Yes ? So, this tutorial is for you. Enjoy !

An example of a result:
Image
It's not really a Green, but a Yellow greened.

Step 1: Make your file.
Step 2: Extract the file from your Xbox 360.
Step 3: Open it with a Hex Editor.
Step 5: Search and replace your text description by the color code.
(Offset 0000D060)

Example: <color argb=#ff76a1d3>Description</color>

Image

Step 6:
Save, Rehash, Resign and upload back to Xbox.
--------------------------------
(Verified) Colors codes:
<color argb=#55FFFFFF>Description</color>
<color argb=#ff76a1d3>Description</color>
<color argb=#FFe8ea1e>Description</color>
<color argb=#FFa1b375>Description</color>
<color argb=#FF8692d4>Description</color>
<color argb=#FFb139b5>Description</color>
- Thanks to Anthony -

The first value seems like it would be the Alpha channel.. It's always 0xFF which is 100%, someone should try making it 50%

((50 / 100) * 255 ) = 127.5
127 = 0x7F

So replace the first with value "FF" with "7F" and see if its 50% transparent ;)
I think the colors possibilities are almost limitless. (Like on a web page with a .css).
All the best ! :)

You should give credit to the original poster, as you just copied all his stuff directly.

I just played you in Team Doubles a few days ago O.o

And, make sure it wasn't him who posted this elsewhere before making accusations.

I checked both profiles and found no mention of the other name in either.

Way to be vague. Details would really help you not come across as a jackass. Cool tutorial, Alex.

Really? Because I checked very quickly and was able to almost instantly determine that the gamertags on both profiles were identical. Very interesting.

Thanks everybody.
@xI_V3n93ance_Ix : No, apparently you can't color Gametypes... Files will be corrupted :?

Yeah, I didn't realize the xbl tag on this forum appears on hovering, my bad. @ shout, how was that vague exactly? By other name I meant I looked here for a mention of 'zeny' and failed to notice it. I don't see how accidentally overlooking something make me an asshole.

Sorry Alex, my bad.
