Support Edit Halo 4 Map Date And File Size?

[[Iconoclast] 693]

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

Can you try it again bro?

Alright, I think I got the offsets. Try this: http://www.sendspace.com/file/if1k24

It worked thanks man now tell me how did you do that?

Compare changes in Hex Workshop between the two files.

[[Iconoclast] 693]

I can't find the difference :/

[0xdeafcafe 226]

There were four. Two around 0xC000 and Two around 0xD000.

It was 01 and then you changed it to 41. what does that do? and the other part? lol

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).

DOS dates actually are twice as long as UNIX dates, they go up to 2107 I believe. (7 bits, so 127)

He changed the DOS date. And you have it in reverse I think, 41 would be 2012, and 01 would be 1980.

The first 16-bits in a DOS date are the year, month, and day, as such:

YYYYYYYMMMMDDDDD

So if the first byte is 01 in hex, it would look like this in binary:

YYYYYYYM
00000001

So the Year would be:

0000000 (0)

As DOS dates start in 1980, 0 would just be 1980

If it was 41 in hex, that would be:

YYYYYYYM
01000001

So the Year would be:

0100000 (32 in decimal)

32 plus 1980 = 2012

Thanks Xerax and MBP hopefully I can learn how to change the byte size values.

What if I fire Halo 4 up in 2038 and make a map save? :s

Then your Xbox will explode. As MBP said though, it uses DOS times.

It'll record the date as 1970. Look up the Year 2038 Problem for more info.

If someone makes a video tutorial for this I will love them forever.

Cant you just change the date on your xbox then save the gametype

It would record it as 1901 I thought, since it would interpret it as negative.

That also only applies to UNIX dates, like i said, DOS dates go for longer.

So Halo 4 file dates are stored as Unix Timestamps?

No, they're DOS. The 2038 thing that keeps being mentioned is Unix, which is why I keep saying it doesn't apply here. It really doesn't matter, I have no idea why I need to correct things.

Can someone give me a tutorial on this for Halo 3? Shad0wLag changed a file to 777bytes and modded dates any help?
