In Response To: So far... (aLuCaRD) : No, the XTender chip is one where you have to open your X-Box, solder 29 or : 30 wires, I forget how many exactly, then it will play backup CDRWs DVDRs : DVDRWs and maybe CDRs, havent tried the later yet. : Anyhow, back to my progress... : I have been able to get into an image and look about, I will list the file : layout below: Halo.iso : | : |-bink : | |-attract1.bik : | |-attract2.bik : | |-attract3.bik : | |-credits.bik : | |-intro.bik : | : |-maps : | |-a10.map : | |-a30.map : | |-a50.map : | |-b30.map : | |-b40.map : | |-beavercreek.map : | |-bloodgulch.map : | |-boardingaction.map : | |-c10.map : | |-c20.map : | |-c40.map : | |-carousel.map : | |-chillout.map : | |-d20.map : | |-d40.map : | |-damnation.map : | |-hangemhigh.map : | |-longest.map : | |-prisoner.map : | |-putput.map : | |-ratrace.map : | |-sidewinder.map : | |-ui.map : | |-wizard.map : | : |-XDemos : The things in the "bink" folder are probably movies using the Bink : codec, I will look into this further, the "XDemos" are just the : demos, I think the US is slightly different demos and haven tbothered with : this folder, but, the "maps" folder, this is what gets me : excited. :o) : Im thinking that all the textures/models that are neded for the various : levels are actually in a single big file for that particular level, now : assumming my theory is correct (And understable.) any adjustments would : effect that level, which in itself is a cool idea, think about how in the : jungle level how much cooler the MC would look in a camo version of hes : suit, or in the snow level he could have a more white/snow like suit, : seems kinda cool to me, the last level, hes suit could be damaged or : something, simple skinning things make for some cool looking things, but : Im also assumming the models are in these big files. : Now I just think Im rambling and I want to play the game now..! lol : Anyhow, wish me luck in extracting some info, Im trying first with the op map : file "a10.map". : Things I would like to change first... : 1st level, model without a helmet : All levels, light is actually from gun so when switching/reloading the light : is right, it doesnt look it to me. : etc etc etc : aLuCaRD :o) : l-l /\ |, (o) I'm sure Jaime, Tyson, etc are a bit surprised to see the above, still, I'd love to see their replies to this... maybe even under a psuedonym. :) Here's something I can tell you from my limited knowledge.... notice the map level names **skip** a few 'slots'??? A10-A30-A50 Where's A20 or A40???? Ah, just in time for Hamish's return... :-)
