Help with Hex Edit!

[AGhost]

Hi Guys,

I just got the b30.map from my X-Box and opened it in a Hex editor and all it gave me was a wierd page full of numbers and symbols that looks nothing like in the tutorials I have read. Here is the 1st line:

00000000 6461656807000000B04B230200000000EC957C01C4B5A600000000000000000062 daeh????K#????

You didn't do anything wrong, that's what a hex editor does. Hexidecimal math is math that involves the numbers 0-9 and the values A-F. The best technique is to use find (usually CTRL + F) and search for a value. then replace it with another value. Example: find the value of a pistol bullet. Then find the value of a rocket launcher bullet. Replace the pistol bullet value with that of the rocket launcher bullet and viola!!! a pistol that shoots rockets. You can find offsets for halo on a specific website. I forgot what it was and left the URL (written on a piece of paper) at a friends house. I'll post later with the URL.

btw, the letters on the right side of the screen (the ones that don't just use 0-9 and A-F are basic text conversions of the hexadecimal values. just ignore them for now.
