It ain't that hard.

How to change the Halo Demo header of BG to that of the Full Halo BG. A stupidly long tutorial by >Shadow<

Warning: The following content is highly n00bish and should not be ingested. If so has been done, please call a Poison Doctor. Immediately. I will give you the liberty of finding out what the phone number is. Thank you.

1. Open Hex edit

2. Click "File" scroll down to "Open" and release.

3. You will now be prompded to open a file.

4. Find your copy of bloodgulch.map for the Halo FULL and click on it. It should be highlighted now.

5. Click on the button in the lower right hand corner. This button should be marked "Open"

6. Okay here is where it gets difficult. Select the first 800 bytes starting AT THE VERY TOP. You should know how many bytes are selected by looking in the Upper right hand corner. If you did select the 800 bytes from the very top, it should say: " $00000800 "

7. Alrighty then, now that the first 800 bytes are selected, you must now go to "Edit" , "Copy" or, just press Command (Apple) "C"

8. Now, in the very top left corner you should see a red bubble circle. Click on it. The full version bloodgulch should close.

9. Now click "File" , "Open".

10. Find your bloodgulch.map for the Halo demo and click on it. It should now be highlighted. Now click on "Open".

11. Now select the first 800 bytes again of the demo map starting at the top. You should know when the 800 bytes are selected because it will say in the top right hand corner: " $00000800 ".

12. Okay! Now click "Edit" , "Paste". (Or "Command" , "V") You should now see the 800 bytes you copied from the Halo full. What you just copied and pasted is the Halo Full bloodgulch header!

13. Now, Click file, "Save As" and save it as "bloodgulch.map".

14. Create a new folder and call it something like: "HMT bloogulch" and stick the new file in there.

15. If you want to open it in HMT, simply find HMT wherever it is, double click on it and it shall open.

16. If you want to avoid doing all of this over again, I suggest you now go back to the file in HMT bloodgulch. Click on it ONCE and then go "File" , "Copy". Then click on your desktop and then go "File" , "Paste".

17. Go back to HMT and click "Open".

18. A window should open up now. Go to your desktop and click on the bloodgulch.map you just pasted. Click on the "Open" button now.

19. If you did it right, the bloodgulch will now open. Make whatever changes you want to it now. Remember, HMT auto-saves so it is important to always Copy and paste this demo bloodgulch with he full header so you don't have to do this over again.

Thanks for reading this n00bish tutorial. Might I also add that your hair is on fire? Just kidding. :P

See? noobish side comments for a noobish tut! Sorry, I had to do it. = P

Really this is alot easier than this stupid step-by-step tutorial makes it seem. Good luck with it anyways. :P :)

How to learn nothing by following the tutorial above.

Step 1. Read and follow it.

I don't like the copy + paste idea behind that tutorial. It means that you won't learn how the header is constructed, and because of that you won't learn how to update the header afterwards.

Haha what did I tell you, Shadow? Some noob always finds a way to mess up even the simplest of instructions. XD

XD Wow. I didn't think it would be too hard...

>_>

<_<

Based off the simplicity of the tut (And the whole process in general), I think your bloodgulch.map for the Halo Full is screwed up.

Well yes, I suppose that is true. But he wants to know how to make it compatible with HMT. And copy + paste is the faster way to do it. If he wants to know about headers, then he can ask about headers.

Really, all you have to do is go to 0x10 and change that to 74 19 85 00 and you've got it for HMT.

That is all that you need to change to open the map in HMT? Hmm. Much of the full version header is bytes of 00, but the demo header appears to have random bytes scattered about. Parts of the header can be changed an not effect gameplay. I first saw this when I was bored and opened up sword's GWoG in HexEdit. What you see in there is enough to keep you from stealing mods forever.

Those two were like my silly little starter mods. The new one I'm making will blow them away. Mebbe even Mr Deox's Space thingy thing.
