How to Mod Halo 3 Map Variants (Simple and NXE Compatible)

[caspercoven]

how do you send somebody your map variant in a xbox live message? i get messages sometimes like "hey checkout this map variant" and i can download then to check it out... how do i send it?

[TheTNSClannn]

NOTE TO PEOPLE THIS MUST BE DONE ON A OFFLINE XBOX LIVE ACCOUNT.

[Zod011]

but i dont understand the concept lol

[MrTURD13]

i did every thing in this vid and when i get to the rehash/resign part on concept it does not work it says somthing about key valt thing and idk PLEASE HELP me and it says concept exe not just concept please help thx

[AWESOMNESS225]

What site can i use to download just concept?

[HPDpvtcaboose]

everyone dont try modding with an enthelnet cord it wont work

[GlitchBook]

so i cant be signed into xbox live when playing theese maps

[willbot26]

how did you get the programs in your computer? are they from the web?

[MOD6176]

when you rehashed & resinged you need a key vault and if you have a xp computer you can not over right it you have to delete the usermap and drag the moded file in

[halo3productions911]

@GoldModz Probably because you made some "unwanted" changes to whatever it was you were modding. I've had the same issue modding Halo CE with the Cache Editor and depending on what I change it may not load the mission. I'd assume the same thing applies here.

So it'll be trial and error. See what works and what doesn't.

[westmen15]

awww sweet man cheers =]

[ManiacModz]

sounds like lsp

[NGELO9657]

You should make an "Um" count xD

[Mrclutch0016]

Hey...is modding safe

[halo3productions911]

@Mrclutch0016 Modding is safe as long as you don't try it on Xbox Live (I doubt you could mod anything on Live this way but still). But I should clarify what modding I'm talking about.

I'd almost call this softmodding in a way. Not true to it's meaning but this isn't like adding a mod chip or changing the dashboard. Something that's detected by Xbox Live. This is simply changing custom games up, nothing Microsoft/Bungie detects. Though I wouldn't recommend sharing these variants on ur fileshare

[david1991rules4life]

Then after you extract to ur desktop create a folder or a backup with a copy of that file in it, and only mod the file on the desktop, once it's fully modded and done, go back into USB XTAF GUI v32 beta 3 and delete the map in it, and inject (u can't replace but this is exact same thing) the modded map, now usb into xbox and MOVE not copy that map into ur hdd so now u have the modded map there and load halo 3, if it fucks up, simple... usb back into computer, same program again and injectthecopy

[david1991rules4life]

DUDE easiest way to mod maps!!!

Have a usb thumb drive as a secondary hard drive, save ur map on halo 3 (on ur hdd) then on xbox 360 dashboard go to memory; then go into your hdd, find halo 3, find the named-saved map and COPY it to ur usb drive (it'll make a halo 3 folder and the usermap in it itself) now u ONLY have THAT map u WANT to MOD on ur usb. Plug usb to computer, run USB XTAF GUI v32 beta 3 (latest), easy to navigate to ur halo 3 in ur profile, oly 1 file in it, THAT MAP, then extract!

[halo3productions911]

@david1991rules4life Well obviously. This was done before flash drives were made usable as storage. 

[kilrdude14]

when i try to open a file in Forge it always comes up with a "unhandled exeption". why??

[TempTationMedia]

can you actually call microsoft

[FurCanada1]

why doesnt forge or concept work on my computer

[LizardCrusherOfDoom]

@FurCanada1 cuz ur computer suks bawls

[halo3productions911]

@LizardCrusherOfDoom Some people's computers don't "just suck". There are odd times that this doesn't work for everybody. Quit being so closed minded. You're not helping anybody by cutting them down.

[cazyfreak]

 @FBWalshyFTWReturns Xplorer 360 forge and what?

[appleswithstu]

hey man i got question the very last step where you map back into the harddrive in wont let me it whould say that i cant transer it plz help

[DrinkyCrowShow]

hey dud you can just use xplorer 360 extreme 2 for the 20 gb hard drive

[LizardCrusherOfDoom]

It's true about Microsoft giving out transfer cables. BUT... you have to have the serial number for the hard drive or 360 elite that you "purchased". I have a friend who got an elite for his first 360 so he just gave me the serial number and I got a free cable. So make sure you can find a serial number for a big HDD or Elite and you can get a free cable.

[BlindEyeProduction]

@LizardCrusherOfDoom not true, i got a free one by filling out the form and having a premium. I now have an elite but yeah,

[iTzRaWx]

im having a little trouble, when irehash and resign it has an error, can you help???

[AFatGamerNerd]

[Bahena2]

[AFatGamerNerd]

@Bahena2 thnx  :)

[TheJhonny3tears]

Killable... Tea Baggable Lolz

[codeman4416]

is it possible to mod with a flash drive instead of a transfer cable?

[oxThatxGuyxo]

it wont let me drag it to the desktop any help??!

[halo3productions911]

@oxThatxGuyxo Your talking about the Icon leading to the program?You can't physically drag those.You need to right click and hit send to desktop(aka make a shortcut of that).

If you drag the actual one to the desktop,it won't work because it's associating that icon with it's "system files" that make the whole program work.Taking it out of there makes it no longer work.Making a shortcut of that icon will work fine(it's what I did).

[troykiller24]

what is the link to the forge thing and the other one not xport but the other one

[velcrosoup]

does this work with the odst multiplayer disc? because its not changing anything for me

[sfu7208]

do you have to buy a privite key vault

[boineeclt]

@sfu7208 ya i need to put in a private key vault

[hessamin]

Hey, do you know why when I open up forge, click file, open, and I get a error message randomly. It's buggin out I think...

[themmadhouse]

hi again got the other problem sorted just now it says the map is corupted also it wont let me rehash and resign it only lets me rehash

[MajorLeagueHacker]

So, in this video you replaced frag grenades with spartans? Because I remember when modders did this they replaced objects that were already there with new ones.

[halo3productions911]

@MajorLeagueHacker Yeah I found it easier to find once i just recently placed instead of the ones preset on the map.

[themmadhouse]

hi this is the most easy video to follow all the others are really coplicated also you put all the downloads in 1 file instead of 3 which made it so easy i going to give you a 5 star and subscibe to you

[DaRealPielover1987]

I have a problem on this. i get all the way to the end but it wont let me drag it back in, what do I do?

[akwsmack]

these can go on custom games rite?

[ltkdog]

@akwsmack Yea they will only work on Custom Games. unless you have a campain mod, or if you want to get yourself banned from live

[MajorLeagueHacker]

@akwsmack disable uac (if you dont know how youtube it)

[XxMrMitchxX]

what do i do when it says user defined key vault not found?

[MajorLeagueHacker]

@XxMrMitchxX put the KV.bin file in the same place as the program

[kilrdude14]

@MajorLeagueHacker put it in the Key Vaults file?

[halo3productions911]

Finally,thank you (=

Sad,you can hear my loud PC fan in the back lol :p

[TheyCallMeSuperman69]

you saved it as

h3 tesst

and opened it as

h3 test

[halo3productions911]

@TheyCallMeSuperman69 Yeah,you noticed :P

I recorded the voice and video at two separate times.You might notice at the end my voice might be ahead of the video.

[ouwantsome]

Hey if your vista and have a 20gb hardrive I find Xpolorer works best. I use it for my 20gb so the myth that is doesnt work is wrong.

[halo3productions911]

@ouwantsome Yeh,I have XP so it's not really a myth.

I was saying for XP use XPort360 instead of Xplorer360.I wouldn't have any idea about Vista+ since I don't run it.

[EVILBROWNIEMIX]

waaaaay to much work

[Zirnon]

It looks like you're just lazy...you couldn't even put that extra 'o' on the end of too. :P

[EVILBROWNIEMIX]

omg a spelling error?!?!? burn me at the stake!

[Metalica090]

teabagable!!!

[drugslut831]

how do u make instant respawns like for octagon matches?

[RippedIntoTheNet]

@drugslut831 send me a message when you figure this out!

[IIIIKYLE]

I've always wondered how to do this.

[mepwnage999]

wow you made this yesterday? wow what a noob ass.

jk. your awesome thanx

[Hitman3z1]

I have both but will it work on the ODST multiplayer disk, or do i need the regular halo disk?

[halo3productions911]

@Hitman3z1 I used the ODST Multiplayer Disk. The original Halo 3 Disk should work fine.

[Monkaymin]

why did you post this, like really?

[M1NDR34D3R]

views and beeing nice...

[ampenergy77]

lol at nerd rages

[SHAYPZ95]

ive got alot of modded maps...

[laststrpk1]

u will not get in trouble i went to modded maps before

[Nick0062]

Should you really be encouraging people to break the rules on Halo? I mean Bungie employees blatantly watch your videos, they post them on their site almost every week.

[cwchickenwing]

This isent infinity ward dumbass

[GiantAnxiety]

its only illegal in ur fileshare >.>

[halo3productions911]

@GiantAnxiety Actually you can put them in your fileshare.I've done it.

Typically if you do modded content *outside* of Halo you'll get a message something like "Do not upload this.If you try again you will be banned from fileshare".

[halo3productions911]

@Nick0062 Well the funny thing is if you look at most of Bungie Favorites' screenshots they're mostly modded.

Even so,Bungie calls modding "Network Manipulation" or AKA Matchmaking Modding.This isn't Matchmaking so you can do what you want.

[kripledreaper]

none of them are ever modded...

[KingOfHell45]

@Nick0062 Its against the rules in matchmaking... this is for people that dont have xboxlive and have nothing better to do then screw around and modify the game you would enjoy playing most.... who the hell doesnt like shooting rockets out of a pistol or something... comeon its just for fun... not for cheating.... however there are some noobs that just have no skill and ruin the game for everyone else.. but i think its fun customizing a game you spent your money on.

[adambomb419]

Honestly, why post this

[halo3productions911]

@adambomb419 Why not?

[bioshockgamer]

When you ask for a transfer kit, they will ask for your console's serial number.

[tomcrizlow]

what will it matter if they do?

[bioshockgamer]

I'm just saying that, that is what they will do. It really doesn't matter if they ask you for a console serial number, as long as you own a console.

[LegitimateMedia]

Stop calling him Walshy even if you not he isnt the pro. The name he goes by is Gear61. Call him Gear or something noobs...

[BeAreEss]
