PIE WINS! You win the same prizes as those before because I'm keeping my special advice for the person who can answer this:

Questions from Modzy: What is, in hexadecimal, the first Tag ID of the Index array in all normal maps?

I'm no hex modder, but i'll take a guess. is it [$00DCA368] ?

[Modzy]

lolno

[Pielogist]

[2310]

what's a Tag ID? o_o

Ask Modzy. I didn't make that question, I'm just giving prizes for it.

[Sugarlumps]

Is it 09 83 01 00 00 B0 5B B3 2F 60 84 38 F0 59 2E 05

Fascinating. I think Modzy meant something like

1. Get a normal HD map
2. Get the first Tag ID of the Index Array
3. Convert it to hexadecimal

I'm not sure either. I'll try something out if I have the time ...

Keep those questions (& answers) coming! Does anyone have something more complex than that?

I'm going to take a stab in the dark after having both eyes removed and a blind fold put on and say.

Code: Select all

 psbsmtibd  K - 70 73 62 73 6D 74 69 62 64 E6 F3 4B

Its on line 810. I have no idea so i'm probably wrong.


Edit: Is that the bitmap for the map???

All looks like hex to me. (I use hex usually for HTML colors, not map editing ...)

I'm quite sure we're going to learn something from this.

Modzy, where are you?

[Smythe]

put mine in a hex editor.

The first 800 lines of a halo map is the header. Before demo hack was around to use HMT or HHK you would take the first 800 lines from a full map and paste it over the demo. So I don't think anything in the first 800 lines would count but then again. I don't know much about hex.
