Is there any way to change the time limit at the end of The Maw where you drive the Warthog through a maze thirty-thousand times the size of the ship? The Flood, Covenant and explosions are enough, don't want to race time too

Oh come on. The only thing you need to worry about is if it flips. It's easy, really. Just don't stop when you reach Echo 419, that'll save you about 4 or 5 seconds. And an easy way to get past the last stretch where you walk, is go outside the barrier.

you dont even have to walk if you can hit that gap in the barrels just right. oh, and dont got through all the up-and-down thingys, they do mean things to you (like flip you out)

Yeah, but then there's times where people just want to take a tour, too.

ive also wanted to do this...

no you cant, its scripted...

scripts are fun ^_^
the script data is stored
in the
.meta of the scenario file
thou i have no idea how it is compiled so good luck with that but u CAN if uwork hard enough

Damn. Eh, PMI's were thought to be impossible before

did i say it was impossible?

Not exsctly but you said it can't be done. Someone might find out a way soon though.

PS: Sorry if this counts as a bump, wasn't on for a while

Hmm... Just brainstorming here, would it be possible to look up the script commands through hexing? I know the timer commands, I think I've seen them laying around somewhere...

you can hex anything in a map, go for it, make the next bmajor breakthrough Halo Moding, shoot, i'll come back full-time if you do it.

Use a program call "T-Search". It's amazing at searching for values... for example, I can get ANY score in pinball because I do a search for my current score... score some more... then search for my new score inside of those scores. I know it's possible for things like ammo but I haven't tried it with timers...

yeah, but t-search finds memmory addresses and modifies them, not actual hex values within a file. Tsearch is useless in Halo because halo uses a dynamic memmory allocation system so it only uses the ram it needs. The downside of this means that simply changing or freezing a single memmory adress (so you want infinite pistol shots) will do no good because the next time it references that data, it may have been assigned a different memmory address.

It would be easier if you extract the scenario tag that contains The Maw timer and then hex it.

or better yet u could just convert a custom CE scenari owith all the scripts u need............
but meh uwould need to pmi it back i ncuase if u re-inject it u get problems

bud, you can't PMI a script.... why does everyone use PMI as the term for adding anything to a map? does anyone even know what it actually STANDS for?

You seriously have to wonder that sometimes. Heck, up until recently, I thought RaVn had no idea how to mod anymore.

edit: pmi is perfect model injection
now bow! muhahaha[looks vainly around for some1 who will support me]

just because you know what it stands for doesnt mean you can misuse it, conure...
