In that case, let's add the high-jump, run-fast, auto-aim, standby, bridging, invincibility, and spawn modding tutorials onto this forum as well. It's free access to information, who cares what people do with it?

I really fail to see any positive benefit of public patch_v3.
Agreed.
lol rotten! maybe thinking about what you are writing would be nice .

lol maybe a response that has some sort fo actuall significance to the topic would be nice

on the subject of free access to information, i am all for AA, jump high and all that, as long as it's not used on xbl, when you join xbl you make an agreement to not modify your content, using it elsewhere is at your own discretion. why don't you go bitch to the author of dothalo and enitity and insolence and all those for making people capable of doing it? just cause you can doesnt mean you should, the information should be there but it should be left up to the responsibility of whoever is viewing it to use it or not.

I might be wrong or just I havn't read all the stuff but this sounds like a cool thing........

offtopicness:
mimesis has been dead now for about 4 months.. tester applications have been made by about 10 people.. and still they say they don't have enough testers.. mimesis is BS nowadays.. there's 2 mod waiting to be tested, 1 waits now for about 2 1/2 months.. its ridiculous.

i say finish this DLC creation tool, because mimesis has become obsolete. its no more. plus the creation of DLC can't even be used to cheat in anyway on live since the AU blocks that content >_> . cheating has to be done in thesame way it was done previously. people mentioning cheating don't even know what they are talking about. the current AU blocks all of the added content just fine (as it blocks mimesis content also)

now get off your high heels >please< and stop argueing about cheating. this tool should've been made publically a long time ago, because then one 12 year old individual could have competed with team mimesis.

No, you don't know what you're talking about...

You're telling me there are no modders anymore on XBL cheating?

He's saying that making his own patches wouldnt be able to do anything, because the latest auto update hard codes the DLC maps into the xbe, and you cannot add any more maps to the main menu through patches. The cheaters you are talking about would not be helped by using this.

basically what the guy abopve me said. this method can not be used to cheat, adding more maps will not work, you can still only cheat off the original new maps.

i.e. adding a modded coagulation will not load because everyone else is playing coagulation from it's original file path not the new maps folder.

It doesn't man you can't edit the existing patch files and resign them though, which opens up various problems. Also, as of stated earlier, I see zero benefit in this format being public.

Regarding Mimesis, stoner, 6 new testers were just recruited and I'm currently deciding what content I want to put up betas for.

This thread's arguments make me a sad panda. Nobody can appreciate a program without making a huge deal about the crap that some people choose to do.

Ive cracked the signature !!!!!

Check the first page for an updated version of Entity UE.

I'd like to thank everyone who supported this and i hope everyone enjoys making their own DLC maps.

Congrats shade...tis a job well done.

Yo shade. Your tutorial thingy is .docx. I don't have a program that opens that. Would you mind making a .txt or just plain ol .doc? Thanks.

about time public has acces to creating these items..
now if only it'd work. you should talk to anthony who stole the app from headshotmasta mimesis contentmanager by hacking.. or theswampfox

seems that signing such a file is quite hard.

The "app" you're referring to was created by Ramzi and I...but Anthony figured most of it out on his own anyways and I can vouch for that

way to go shade, i'm glad to see that you finished it in spite of what people said. great job.

question and it may make me sound like a "n00b" is there any possible way to make this dlc stuff capable of being put on an unmodded xbox? say i wanted to have a lan party and load new dlc maps on a friends xbox is there ANY possible way this could be done that you can think of without having a soft/hard modded box?

basically in the same fashion i would upload new maps from bungie?

as i write this it sounds dumber and dumber but i would be somewhat interested in knowing the answer.

shade45 · Post by **shade45** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 5:40 am

Im sure with some work it may be possible through gamesave exploits similar to the mimesis lite gamesave hack. I donno though that kinda stuffs something i've never looked into

no its not possible without a unmodded Xbox, but you can use a game save exploit to get access to your Xbox HDD and from there you could install the content by FTP

Could some tell me in retard terms to what this allows people to do and how it would help people cheat. Because reading the past couple pages im freakin confused.

Jbregi · Post by **Jbregi** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 10:49 am

Yea, I have no idea what this patch thing does... or what the point of cracking the code was for... or why custom DLC is so great. In layman's terms, what will this as a community allow the people of HaloMods to do?
I've tried to understand the past 3 pages but everyone explains it in a confusing way or has too bad grammar to even comprehend a single sentence.

shade45 · Post by **shade45** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 11:49 am

Ok well basically it allows you to add new maps to your mainmenu the official way that bungie does by installing it as a downloadable content package . A patch_v3.lvl file holds al the information to add the map to the mainmenu then at runtime the mainmenu.map is patched with this patch. And the cracking the signature allowed us to be able to edit these files and resign them.

This method is also better than adding your maps to the main menu becouse you can access them even when you play of the disc
