Sorry if this is already well known.

I am very new to hex editing and just started with some meta which I am understanding farely well.

I was meta swapping the warthog hex with the cyborg biped hex when I happened to turn the warthog into a masterchief on Bloodgulch. It is extremely funny...here's how

Goto offset 00AC6DF0 (warthog meta) and simply change the 6102D5E3 to 940008E2 for masterchief. You can try E40258E4 for a tank and F6066AE8 for a turret as well.

Once again, I'm sorry if this is already really well known, but hopefully it will be exciting to some other n00bs.





This last one is just a turret turned into a warthog. The tire spins instead of the gun. I did this by going to the turret meta and swapping it with the 6102D5E3.

Nice Job

what would we have to do to find out how to make the ghost the MC.

Where did you get your meta offset values also?

http://66.98.159.194/~iron_forge/offsets/retail.php <-- best place to get offsets and meta offsets.

Thats hilarious! , but where do you find the # 6102D5E3, I checked the warthog offsets values meta # and ident but I didnt see it.

ya i wanna know too

I used flechette's method where you copy both of the meta codes into a text file and then just match up the 8 character DWords. When there was a missmatch, I documented the missmatch and tried swapping the MC one in for the warthog. After only a few attempts I got this effect. So I decided it may work with other ones in the same spot.
I copied the tank one in and matched it up at that same spot, and what do you know.

I tried many others with no success including, rocks, trees, banshees, and ghosts.

Thanks flechette.

btw...I assume to make a ghost a MC, just copy the meta over and match it up at the same point as the meta for the warthog. Then take the MC meta and put it there.

P.S. Sorry if my terms are off. All of what I know is due to flechette's tutorials.

wow thats cool io dont think thats been done b4

did u use cyborg or MP_cyborg?

MP.

I got a ghost MC now as well.
Here is my findings:
The MC (model) meta value is: 940008E2
The Banshee meta offset is: 00B4E440 and it's value is CD0341E5
The Ghost meta offset is: 00B187F4 and it's value is 4403B8E4
The Tank offset is: I forget and it's value is E40258E4
The Turret offset is: I forget as well and it's value is F6066AE8
The Warthog offset is: 00AC6DF0 and it's value is 6102D5E3

So all of these are interchangeable. (A warthog that looks like a banshee and a warthog that looks like a ghost didn't work)

If you wanted a banshee that looked like MC, simply goto 00B4E440 and change CD0341E5 to 940008E2.
If you wanted a banshee that looks like a ghost, goto 00B4E440 and change CD0341E5 to 4403B8E4.
If you wanted a ghost that looked like MC, simply goto 00B187F4 and change 4403B8E4 to 940008E2.

It's as simple as that. Hope this helps. Any questions, feel free to ask but remember I'm a n00b too

Geez, I really dont get this. How do you get your offsets? They are different in the last few #s on every thing.

My offsets were gotten using flechette's meta swapping tutorial. After I found the spot in the hex that turned the Warthog into an MC, I just went to that same spot on all the other objects. Then I used their hex at that same location to switch it into other things.

lol....it looks like MC is doing the 'im a little teapot' dance

Edit: Hmm I just looked at it again and noticed the antenna thing is still there, is it actually attached to master chief?

yes.. but it would be nice if u posted on more recent posts instead of old ones u had to go back a page for

oh sorry, i just saw this topic mentioned in another so i searched for it, anyway you are supposed to search forums instead of just starting new useless topics

I am also curious. I'm not understanding how the last #'s of the offset and values are different... Did you like add a certain number or sumtin? Please be more deatiled. I wanna try the warthog to look like a tree!

dunno im clueless also

Milk, can you answer? How the heck you get those nums. What do you do?

What level were those numbers for?

Read the post and it might tell u. If u did and are just clueless they are offsets and values to apply to a hex editor.

OK MILK ANSWER if you get PMed a lot its not my fault i am not saying i will but other people will

answer the question as to how to get the value for the meta be more detailed in your explaination
