I switched the coords of the troop warthog outside the map with a Rocket and since I didn't really pay attention to the coords, the hog came out standing directly up with the troop cage in the ground. I then destroyed it so it could spawn drivable. Well I came back to the spot and the warthog launched out of the ground and it came up with no troop cage.

And NinjaDarknessXx, Thats why this is here.

I did both of those, and I'm still getting the same message.

Also, this is probably a stupid question, but is there a way I can translate the codes in Xport to find out which map is which?

Good TUT man. Thanks for making this!

No, the random numbers and letters after the 'usermap' are most likely a time stamp.

Did you extract the .map from the CON?

lrisley · 07-15-2008, 01:56 PM

Ok, Hope you all can set me straight. I followed this many times now with sand trap map that I saved in forge. brought it over to the pc (just opened my hard drive container and pulled the drive out... much cheaper). used xplorer360 to pull off the map from partition 3. used ce to pull sandbox out of the usermap ( I have also used johnson and hexedit way and still get the same results). load it up in sandtrap and make changes like changing the tag of location 338 to 95 (the behemoth whatever that is). save it. inject it back into map. rehash (says it worked great takes less that 1 second) then resign using the resigner from halo 3 toybox aio says worked fine. reinject back to hard drive using xplorer360 (says works fine i think)

When I boot up the 360 after reconnecting the harddrive and boot halo3, I goto forge and open my map (it takes like 20 or so seconds and i'm in) . I don't see anything changed?????????

I have done the same thing with other maps and tried the placing frag grenades and then replacing them with whatever and I don't get any errors but nother ever shows up changed when I get the map back into forge.

Help???

Did you select the map from recent maps? If so that may be why. Try selecting it from your maps list, not recent maps.

lrisley · 07-16-2008, 10:19 AM

yup, no matter how we try it, our changes don't show up.

:unsure:

If you want to send me the map file over AIM, I'll take a look at it to make sure you edited it correctly.

GoldBl4d3 · 07-17-2008, 11:53 AM

make sure you rehashed, then resigned. and make sure your transfering it correctly and to the same folder as you got it from. also clearing your cache i think does help if no mods show

Loyd001 · 07-18-2008, 07:30 AM

Ok, I'm sure I'm following this Correctly Accept a few things are going rong and not allowing me to open the map files. i have set the location for the folder in sandbox Tools/Settings but getting a few errors could you have alook at this and see what im doing rong.
