[SA-Mods] Troop Hog with Sandbox v1.1

[JIME01]

In this tutorial will show you how to use Sandbox in the most easy way possible. It covers how to move the troop warthog inside the The Pit but you dont just have to do that you can move a number of Items around any map using this tool.

You Need:
Usermap (The Pit) with at least 1 Item on it
Xport/Xsata
Container Edit - [App]Con Edits (Extract or Injects SandBox Maps from/into CON Files)
Sandbox v1.1 - forums.halomods.com :: View topic - Sandbox V1.1
Rehasher
Resigner

Step 1: Open Container Edit and Open your Modified Usermap, then extract the .map from the Con file. Save as anything but remember where you saved it. Don't close this program yet.


Step 2: Open Sandbox v1.1 and open the .map file you extracted. It should look like the Image below. As you can see Slot # 2 has the Troop Warthog (found that out by testing) so now scroll up and down using the Big arrows to find the object you want to replace as the Troop Hog eg: (Ghost).


Step 3: Once you have found the object select copy from the copy button.


Step 4: Scroll back to the Troop Hog and hit the paste button overwriting the Warthogs Slot.


Step 5: Go to File > Save Changes. Then go back to the Container Edit tool.


Step 6: Now Inject the .map file you just edited with Sandbox v1.1 then close that program. Open your Rehasher and Resigner and Rehash and Resign the Usermap before transferring back to the Xbox 360 HDD.

No you have a successful Troop Hog on your map but you can only have 1 (I think). If anyone knows how to get more please share.

Nice! but shouldn't it be the other way around, pasting the troop hog over the ghost?

[JIME01]

ummm no because the first thing I did was paste the Troop Hog onto the Ghost but that caused an Original Warthog to spawn Exactly where the Troop hog usually is for some reason

[leetskee kris]

cool link to a map with the hog on it already?

[shade45]

Oh ok yeah I understand what you did now. Theres a limit of one troop hog in the map so the original has to be replaced if u want the new one to show inside the map>.<

[poopoo]

can't you change the design time maximum to like whatever (more than 1)

I think that the Map file itself tells the game to spawn a troop hog at whatever co ordinates are in slot 2. What the reference in slot 2 is doesn't make a difference.

So, could this be used to move other things as well? Like Shield doors or Elephants?

Would you mind making a tut on that, then?

[JIME01]

It's not hard it's the same as this tutorial just change the objects round.

[uralllame]

It would work with elephants, but currently not shield doors, as that data is not stored in the usermap. However, that may change with AU2
