Nulling BSP -Crypt

Here is a extremely easy way to take away the bsp from a map.

Tools needed:

Hex editor
Bloodgulch.map
Basic knowledge of hex editing

In a halo full version header, it tells you where certain things are within the map. It states that the bsp of a map begins at the offset of 0x00000800. The bsp size then continues for 0x00172800 ending at 0x00173600. What we are going to do today is null out the bsp for the bloodgulch ground area. Nothing else (like the scenery, or weapons, etc.)
First off open up your hex editor (if you dont already have one try hex workshop)
Then goto the offset of 0x00000910
You will see '7F15' change that to '0000'
Click 'Save'/'Save As'

Try replacing the BSP you took away with a platform to stand on. It is possible it is crashing because it sees nothing. Null out the BSP and Put flatforms underneath all spawn points. Experiment with that and see if that works. If not ill try to find something else out for you.

That is exactly Tyler's tutorial... Sword wrote somewhere how to remove it.
Ahh, here it is:

sword wrote:You can remove another pointer to stop the crashing. I did it as part of something I released, I'll have to find the mod to give the exact locations in the BSP header. I think its 0xBB0 from the beginning of the mapfile, but that may be way off.

Edit: 0xB88 => 3A 12 00 00, Change to 0xB88 => 00 00 00 00

Actually I found out this should be done like this....

How to Null Bloodgulch Out.
Note you will not be able to open this map in any BSP viewing programs after you do this.

Open Your Map In HexEdit.

Go To 0xBA0 Change The Bytes 'A5 33 00 00' To 'FF FF FF FF'

Save And Test Your Map. Result A Bloodgulch Without Collision.

Now Open Your Map In HexEdit.

Now Go To The Line 0x00000910 The First Four Bytes Should Read '7F 15' Change That To '00 00'

Now Save And Quit HexEdit.

Now Test It. Result No Bloodgulch.
