Film modding not going so great

[KingOfWar]

So just now I followed the Film modding tutorial in the AIO and it didnt go so well. I did everything exactly but when I loaded the film in Halo nothing changed.

I had some problems finding where the armor was so I put it in the place the almost exactly resembled what armor I am whereing.

I also changed my name (Vadiminator7) to Vadiminator1... nothing diffrent.

Please someone tell me whats up.

What film are you using?

[KingOfWar]

Me and my friend has a no scope snipers battle on guardian its a custom film.

There are two things that could be messing it up. Make sure you edited the right offsets, and possible, you might have to be host.

[KingOfWar]

What does host have to do with this? Btw you posted in my topic for your 1,111th post =). And also what you meen right offsets? I just started modding today so I have no idea.

[unknown v2]

Offsets are the places you edit.

I've never fully tested, but all of the films that have worked for me, I was host.

make sure it is under 1 MB and that it is a film, and if your Hex editing it try using an app. like mirrage or superraisons thing, sometimes i mess up in HxD and it does the same thing

It doesn't matter if you use a hex editor or an app. The tutorial is pretty beginner-friendly anyways.

It seems as if thought the file doesnt overright. Like I replace the original file on the harddrive and if I extract the same file there will be no changes on it.

[unknown v2]

It's not the same file, that's just how film files "work". There are films that won't show edits.

Try editing a film by yourself. Should work.

I do edit the firm by my self... So does that meen I need to keep trying till it works?

No, if a film doesn't work it won't work.

Try to find better films preferably with you host and not MM.

[KingOfWar]

How would I make sure that I get host? Since my friend has better internet connection.

[unknown v2]

[wildguess]Start the game and invite him? Or don't play with you friend.[/wildguess]

The films I edit, I just play and pick the ones I got host in.

[KingOfWar]

How do you know when you get host?

[Xpargas]

if you stand on a fusion coil and hit it and you go higher up then the other person you are hos

It's pretty simple for me. When you die or a grenade blows up near you, you see more blood than usual.

So what I would compare blood? Ok ill try.

Ok I tried again.

I made a game then let my friend join it which should give me host. We played a game and then I went to editing it. In Mirage and "Film Tool" they both only detected that I played... Then after I edited my self hashed and signed I put it into the harddrive... tested ingame and NOTHING.

[xXJOKERXx]

An easy and fail proof way of testing if you are host is go into a forge game with your friends. Turn into the orb and look down then press up on the d pad. if you are still looking down when you turn into a spartan then you are host. if you are looking streight ahead then you are not host.

Also host goes to the person with the better connection not because you created the game.

[KingOfWar]

Well my internet connecion is bad. So how would I make it so I would still be able to edit the file.
