    1: Open hex editor, and then open gamerprofile and avatar gamerpic image.
    2: Copy the whole hex code of the gamerpic
    3: Open Search whilst on the gamerprofile and past the code into the box, then click Hex Values as search options and forward.
    4: The first find you come across is the code for the image which displays the picture icon of your profile on the memory card or HDD. This is the only time you will see your .png avatar gamer code in whole form. Overwriting this code with the hex of another .png 64x64 image is the same as using inject image with Modio - when your profile is loaded on it.

    Now to find it as your Gamerpic.

    The code is split into exactly two halves, to find the first half of your gamerpic hex code in the profile do the following.

    1: Make sure gamerprofile hex code starts from top of page and have the gamerpic avatar image open on hex too.
    2: Copy about 20 - 30 lines of hex from the avatar gamerpic code and search for it on the gamerprofile code page. Again the first thing it should take you too is that mention above for HDD memory - but click forward again and you will come to the first half of the .png code for your main live avatar gamerpic image. Reading the code all the way down you should be able to find where it stops and compare it against the main avatar code - should roughly be from line 00000000 to line 0000FF00 of main avatar code.

    To find where the other half of your avatar gamerpic is stored on your gamerprofile, you need to work from the bottom up on the main gamerpic code.

    3: Going from bottom up, copy about 20-30 lines of hex from the avatar gamerpic code and search for it on the gamerprofile code page. Again the first thing it should take you too is bottom of the HDD Mem image used - press forward again in search and it will take you to the bottom of the 2nd half of your gamerpic code. Reading that from bottom up you should find where it stops - this chunk of hex should roughly be the same as line 00001000 onwards of the gamerpic avatar image hex.

    By creating a new 64 x 64 gamerpic .png with an image creator/editor and saving to 8KB in size if your image editor allows you to export wizard by size as this is the size of an avatar gamerpic - you should be able to overwrite each half of the hex in your profile by also splitting the hex code of your newly created image.

    Only you can see it, everybody else sees the last gamer picture that was logged on Xbox LIVE's servers. So you'll be using the same gamer picture as you were before to everyone but yourself.

    Ok, it must be possible to change the gamerpic that shows up on M$'s servers.

    Because, if you are offline, go into avatar editor and take a new gamerpic of your avatar and you go online, that becomes your gamerpicture for everyone else too.

    So there must be a way of making M$ servers think that the image in your profile is the one that was taken of your avatar...


    Unless your Xbox doesn't send the image, and actually sends what your avatar looks like and where the camera and avatar was positioned at the time of taking the photo... If this is the case, it can't be done :(

    No, won't work. You can't "make LIVE's servers think you have something else", if your gamerpicture isn't in their servers, they'll just show the last one you had or a default.

    And the option to take a gamerpicture in the Avatar Editor is only available when signed into Live.

    I thi9nk you misunderstand me...

    When you take a gamerpic-photo of your avatar, that gamerpic isn't on M$ servers in the first place, is it?

    Somehow, the xbox sends that pic there.

    we need to find out how to send some other image there, then we can haz custom gamerpics! :D

    But it probably won't work because the packets sent to M$ servers are most likely encrypted with RSA.

    Miina, thats exactly what it does do.. It just sends the data of what your guy is wearing.. the XY coords of the camera and the hex for the background..
