can someone tell me where the weapons names are i would like that alot

Alright, i'll tell you.

Step 1) Go to your maps folder, and open Bloodgulch.map in a program called Hexedit.

Step 2) Look.

Step 3) You're done

If you want someone to tell you, experiment around a bit. Don't just ask. Say..."I've done this this and this, but this doesn't work, could someone help me or give me a hint?"

Yes. Just look for them; it's quite easy.

And congratulations Noobie, you have mastered the art of giving step by step instructions on how to do really simple things. It's too bad that you need to know that around here.

Yes it is too bad. No one bothers to look or try, they just ask

Well, since you have looked, it usually helps to include that in your request...which sounds better..."give me weapon names" or..."i have been looking for a long time, and i'm wondering if someone could give me the weapon names". How am i supposed to know if you looked or not?

::sighs::

Step 1. Find a ASCII to hex converter on the Internet. I am not giving you the link to one, even though I have one bookmarked. So don't ask.

Step 2. Type in the name of an existing weapon such as: fuel rod gun.

Step 3. Hit the "Convert" or "Translate" button to convert the ASCII text to hexadecimal.

Step 4. Take the hexadecimal, and add a byte of 00 in between each byte.

Step 5. Copy the hex.

Step 6. Open Bloodgulch in HexEdit.

Step 7. Hit Command-F to bring up the Find and Replace window.

Step 8. Hit Command-V to paste the hex that you copied into the Find box.

Step 9. Hit Find.

Step 10. The hex will be highlighted if any is found. If it is not found, then it sucks to be you.

Step 11. Edit the ASCII to whatever you want.

Step 12. Make sure that the new ASCII is the same number (or fewer) hex bytes long than the original name.

Step 13. Hit Command-S.

Step 14. Refer to existing tutorials and posts before asking how to do self-explanatory things.

First of all:

Second, I was dead serious about the tutorial. That was not a joke at all. It was 14 steps long so that noobs like you could understand how to do something as simple as change weapon names. It makes me happy to know that in a few short hours I will be free of noobs for a week.

And again, how the hell could you not understant that tutorial that I wrote?! An amoeba could understand it, for the tutorial was so damn desciptive?

Read the steps that demon posted it.

If your not going to use the ASCII to Hex converter, then you should know the Hex Alphabet, 41-7A.

If you know the alphabet through those Hex terms, then you would know they're ASCII in the Hex column.

Lemme give you some help if your not using the convert like me.

20= space

41-7A= Alphabet, first half is the lower-case alphabet, second is the upper-case.

Whenever your making an ASCII term, for example, Fuel Rod, it would be like this in the hex.

46 00 75 00 65 00 6c 00 20 00 52 00 6f 00 64

In the ASCII it would be F.u.e.l. .R.o.d.

All characters together are separated by 00.

Hex: 46 00 75 00 65 00 6c 00 = ASCII: F.u.e.l. = Fuel

The 20 corisponds a space in the word, without it, it would be FuelRod or w/e.

You have to have the 20 in there to corispond a "space" nothing else.

Also if your editing the name, you cannot make the name longer than it already is or it wont appear.

For Example: F.u.e.l. .R.o.d. is changed to B.o.m.b. .P.o.o.p. it wouldn't work since Poop is longer than Rod.

IT HAS TO BE THE SAME AMOUNT OF CHARACTERS.

What you can also do is something like this.

F.u.e.l. .R.o.d. is changed to C.o.n.d.o.m. . .

xD or something like that.

Because it was too short i had to add two spaces on the end to match up the same # of characters.

Well that's all i'm going to help with today.

PEACE!

A converter is much more practical. And if you have figured it out, then why did you post before?

If you still don't get it, then you're messed up.

It's really easy to change the names.

not for a n00b. Trinity, don't even post something so hyprotical like that. You asked like 50 times...HOW DO I CHANGE NAMeS?!?!?....then of course, when it comes time to explain it, you give a detalied answer....so what the hell was that thread about?

I haven't been on this site forever and i haven't been modding like, forever. I forgot so much and thats why i'm asking all the questions. I used to know all this and i used to be a fucking good modder. Not as good as Deox but pretty close. I got my Mac system restored cause of my computer lag and all my Halo Demo Offset files, cmti files, etc. are all gone. I just trying to get back up to speed again. Whenever i get help on something i need help on i kind of remember it again, then i test it out, then it comes back to me. I haven't been a noob that been asking questions, i'm just trying to get all my files back.
