[WildWormy]

too many steps


who ever has a GREAT downloadable MOD map please tell me your gammertag



what about dev kits or hex editor

[fun man07]

I personly do not know much about hex editor. but I do know about dev kits they cost any where from $800. to $4,000. and if you are thinking what I am thinking that is way too much for a little fun and some cool stuf. but on battle field 2 the dev mods for that are cool.

And also the gt is (fun man07).

but I can't play because my xbox 360 got all screwed up so I have to send it in too microsoft to get it fixed.

I hope I helped you with your modding future. and have fun with modding halo3 and many other games.

Is it safe to mod halo 3 im not gonna get banned from xbox live or corrupt my saves am i?

[fun man07]

No you will not get baned. but when you mod you can change the creator's name so there is no problem with bungie they can't find out.

[Xpargas]

They can still find out if you change the name, just dont put any modded content in your fileshare

[fun man07]

Yep. thank you for the extra post. you are awesome dude.

exactly, thats where forge 2.6 comes in!

[DemonHunter45]

After you are done editing the map, save the edits and close Sandbox. Open the CE tool and open your original CON file. Hit the “inject Sandbox into container” button and select the .map file you edited in Sandbox.





On to rehashing and resigning
Open up Shade’s rehasher and click the button in the middle and select your usermap file. It will now be rehashed.



Open derived’s resigner. Click the load button and select your usermap. After verifying it is the correct file, click the sign button. It will ask for a KV.bin file. Select the one you have and the usermap will now be resigned.

[Xpargas]

You didnt need to quote that...

Just use this, it rehashes and resigns [App] .:: CONcept ::.

PLEASE help.... I cannot find sandbox or container edits, and the provided links take me to filefront homepage. I've also searched both "sandbox" and "container edits" on filefront and have found nothing. Could you please supply another method for obtaining these files?

[Xpargas]

se this instead, it is better then sandbox [Release]Forge 2.6

[mevering]

Where can i download container edits and sandbox? the two links at the top no longer work.

[Xpargas]

Read the post above yours -.-

[mevering]

well don't I feel like the hors'es ***. thanks for the forge program, it's very helpful!

can anyone tell me how to get the transport warthog (the warthog without the turret) on the pit? i can get the normal warthog but i cannot get the transport warthog. thanks in advanced!

[slimjimboy]

i just started modding right as my xbox broke so im learning this on my own and i dont know much about anything so im confused on some parts. one part is when i try to go on the CE tool it says to put in my username and password but i dont know where to find that or know wat it is i need help. Oh, and im using halo 3 toybox to get to these links so idk if thats the problem.


PS I havent ever modded before so its not that im stupid, im just still at the very beggining of modding.

[Fire]

Best tut yet! I give seven stars... out of five!

BTW, whats the "sandbox 3.0 source VS2008" thing for? It has all these weird file types that I don't know, but no .exe . Do I ignore it and install the normal Sandbox.zip or what? EDIT I think I figured it out, nevermind
