Support Edit Halo 4 Map Date And File Size?

[[Iconoclast] 693]

I was wondering if it was possible to change the date of a map through hex. I am not very good with reading Unicode can anyone help me find out what 12/21/12 is in Unicode?

Are you sure they store it as string? It seems kinda stupid.

[[Iconoclast] 693]

Yeah I couldn't find it as a string hmm... :/

Tryed editing a Png in the map file and I got this lol

Last time I looked at halo save content, they stored them as UNIX timestamps (Int32's).

If you´re trying to mod the dates, displayed on the file description, then this is the way to go. Extract the content file from the live container, open the file a hex editor,the foloowing offsets store the information you´re looking for: file size: 0x44 int32 date created: 0x7C int32 date modified: 0xA0 int32, save the changes, inject the modded content file back into the live container. Im not sure if there are any additional dates stored in the header of the live container though.

In the STFS Filetable, each entry has 2 Int32's that define Modification and Creation Date:

0x38 - Modification Date

0x3C - Creation Date

I tried using a a timestamp file editor but it didn't change the date.

Like I said above, in the STFS filetable it defines each file's Creation/Modification date.

please show me some pictures I'm not sure if I need to do this in hex or another STFS editing program. Sorry for my stupidity.

I'm pretty sure Velocity has a feature to edit each file in the stfs package's metadata. It's on github which is down at the moment, but once it's back up, grab it here: http://github.com/velocity

Yeah I checked that out earlier but the site is still down.

k figured it out thanks to this great site: http://www.free60.org/STFS#Volume_Descriptor

1. open the container in your hexeditor

2. search for a string according to the file which is stored in the container. since your trying to mod a usermap it should be "sandbox.map".

3. place your cursor before the string and skip 0x38 bytes.

4. this is where the dates are stored. hexworkshop labels them as dos date/times. int16 Update Date, int16 Update Time, int16 Access Date, int16 Access Time, int16

5. Find a way to fix the hashes.

I will try this.

Is this where it is????

Got velocity now what? :/

Send me the STFS file and i'll edit the date to 21/12/12 for you. You can just compare changes when I send it back.

[[Iconoclast] 693]

The file -> http://www.mediafire.com/?qp7b81oko5zyh4o

[0xdeafcafe 226]

You can't set the date to 77/77/7777. It has to be a valid date, and can't be a year past 2038 (just how UNIX Timestamps work).

Also, the file you sent me is just the content that was inside the STFS package. I could edit the date in that, but that would only show up in-game. To make it show up in-game and on the dashboard, you'd have to edit both the content and the STFS Filetable entry data. (I'd need the STFS package, not just the content inside it).

new file -> http://www.mediafire...r2r58cgem2bgbqt then can you make the date 1969?

[[Iconoclast] 693]

Tried it but it didn't change the date it only changed the file "size" to -90 0 MB lmao it wont upload to file share because it says it is full even though it is empty xD

Might of been because I used the research from Halo 3 by mistake for the offset of the Access/Modification date. oops.
