    Hi guys. Do you want colors in your Map/Film description ? =)
    Yes ? So, this tutorial is for you. Enjoy !

    An example of a result:

    It's not really a Green, but a Yellow greened.

    Step 1: Make your file.
    Step 2: Extract the file from your Xbox 360.
    Step 3: Open it with a Hex Editor.
    Step 5: Search and replace your text description by the color code.
    (Offset 0000D060)

    Example: <color argb=#ff76a1d3>Description</color>

    Step 6:
    Save, Rehash, Resign and upload back to Xbox.
    --------------------------------
    (Verified) Colors codes:
    <color argb=#55FFFFFF>Description</color>
    <color argb=#ff76a1d3>Description</color>
    <color argb=#FFe8ea1e>Description</color>
    <color argb=#FFa1b375>Description</color>
    <color argb=#FF8692d4>Description</color>
    <color argb=#FFb139b5>Description</color>

    - Thanks to Anthony -

    The first value seems like it would be the Alpha channel.. It's always 0xFF which is 100%, someone should try making it 50%

    ((50 / 100) * 255 ) = 127.5
    127 = 0x7F

    So replace the first with value "FF" with "7F" and see if its 50% transparent ;)


    I think the colors possibilities are almost limitless. (Like on a web page with a .css).
    All the best ! :)

    I'll create a program for this later.

    Hopefully I can make it work.


    You do realize that the color codes can only take up 120 characters in that files starting at a specific offset. So using color codes reduces whatever you want to say. lol
