Mimesis Revived
 
Halo 2 mod links are dead nearly everywhere. I once was a mirror for Project Mimesis. So naturally I have all the files. I give you 36 of the Mimesis Halo 2 files. All Serenity. These mods were made between 2006 - 2008. If you started modding after that. I'm sorry that you never got to meet these people

:: Overview
 
This is a tool to extract information on an xex file. It will print out
xex information to the console, alter xex attributes, extract executable code
and other basefiles and create idc scripts files to help with disassembling
the extracted executable code.
 
Note: any altered or created retail xex files will not be correctly signed.
 
:: Xex Format Basics
 
An xex file consists of a basefile that the xex is built around and headers
which contain various attributes to be used with the basefile.
 
Usually the basefile is an executable file, however it can also be data file,
as seen with ximedic.xex from the xbox360 flash. When the basefile is an
executable file it is either an exe or dll, however it is not stored in its
normal exe or dll format but instead as a binary file.
 
Some of the xex header attributes are required, and others are optional. Some
of these attributes are things such as the regions the xex is made for and the
media the xex is allowed to boot from.
 
The basefile can be optionally encrypted using aes encryption. All contents
of the basefile are hashed and then rsa signed. Microsoft is the only one with
access to the private key required to sign xexs in order to allow them to boot
on a retail xbox360. A different key is used to sign xex files in order to
allow them to boot on a development xbox360.
 
x360GameHack is a GUI for XexTool. I went ahead and attached it, but USE xexTool as its easier to get exactly what you want.

This tools will help you to raw dump retail Xbox 360 discs on a PC DVD-drive with a hot-swap method (means you'll have to open your drive)

Included is 3800 trainers.

ETM Trainers
XBTF Trainers
NFO (readme files)

Its best to use Xored Trainer Launcher when launching these.

Since the XGD3 games are being released now, the old applications wx360, used for ripping the ISOs, no longer works. This was the first application updated to handle them.

Thanks Goes Out To: My Beta Testers. Shade45 for doing the 'extras' menu first and me only being able to follow by studying his output maps ..the Ch2r Source for having such a great bitmap library, and finally Talin for inadvertly leading me to previewing P8 bumps correctly
 

 
Relink BITM -->

 
Hopefully you will find the app self-explanatory enough, there are a few things i would like to quickly go over though:
 
Bitmap Relinker
Every map slot holds an Ident which points to a bitmap tag, it is this bitmap tag that is the map slots preview image. The Bitmap Relinker will simply let you change the Bitmap the map slot is linked to.
 
Create New Raw For Bitmap
Every bitmap tag is linked to raw within the map, the raw is where the actual image is stored. All of the map slots in the mainmenu that are null, may have different bitmap tags, but those tags are all linked to the same raw. So change one and they all change. This function will generate new raw for the selected slot so it has its own individual image http://forums.halomods.com/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif
 
Export/Import
While the Ch2r Source does have a great bitmap library, it comes with many flaws in the extract/inject region. So i fiddled and twiddled with it for a little while until i got most of it working http://forums.halomods.com/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif , here is a quick table which lists what extracts properly:

The empty cells mean i couldnt test for one reason or another, buts its probably safe to say that they dont extract proper either..

Duplicate/Delete
Allows you to add or take away map slots! Woo! Sadly it doesnt work though, ugh crap right? Not my fault though, the app dups/dels perfectly fine, but the default.xbe holds it back and makes you freeze at 100%.. oh well, ill leave the option their incase anyone ever finds a fix... With Update5 these options have been hidden as it has been figured out how to add more slots, and it had nothing to do with the xbe...thus my code is what's wrong. Oh well that's work for another day ;>
 
Save All
Once the app has listed the SP Map slots, they are all stored in memory. Meaning you can edit everything about every listed slot before finally clicking the Save All button. The only way you will lose your changes, is if you dont save and click to view the MP Maps. Whenever you switch between SP and MP slots, the app clears its memory and loads the new slots. Just so you know.

Net Framework 2.0
..is needed, you can get it HERE.
 
On Closing...
Hope you enjoy the application, or at least find use for it http://forums.halomods.com/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif
 
 
Update1: (1.0) 'Create New Raw For Bitmap' option added.
Update2: (1.0) Small bug fix and unnoticeable improvement.
Update3: (1.0) Small bug fix.
Update4: (1.0) Can now Import smaller images, rest of original image is nulled out.
Update5: (1.1)
Status label at the bottom will now tell you if selected slot's raw is being used by another slot.
Major bug with raw adding and bitmap injecting fixed.
Overall coding improved.

Description:
 
Like Viprone, this tool makes every non-host player able to see your projectile swaps. Only one difference, this tool does it right. You can apply visibility before, after, or while you mod your map. H2 Ocular has hours of research behind it. Much different than Viprone; Viprone takes meta from the rocket launcher. H2 Ocular changes one Int32 value that makes the projectile visible. All research was done by myself. This tool works 100% on every weapon, and does them all 100% properly. Trust me, your going to be happy.
 
Tutorial:
 
1. Open your map in H2 Ocular (File->Open)
2. Check each weapon you want to make visible(to non-host players)
3. Go to: Queue -> Engage Visible
4. Exit

This program allows you to edit almost anything from your challenges, perks, killstreaks, medals, etc.
 
Change Log:

Xbox Media Center
 
XBMC, recursive acronym for XBMC Media Center, is an award winning free and open source software media-player and entertainment hub for all your digital media.
Multi-platform, Internationalized, and Localized
 
XBMC is a cross-platform software available for Linux, Mac OS X (Leopard, Tiger, and Apple TV), Microsoft Windows operating-system, as well as the original Xbox game-console. With translations to over 30 languages for a worldwide audience. All versions of course completely free of any adware or spyware.

XBMC for Linux XBMC for Mac XBMC for Windows XBMC for Xbox XBMC Live
Community
Over 50 developers have contributed to XBMC, and over 100 translators have worked to expand its reach. XBMC was created by created by a group of like minded back in 2003. XBMC Community Forum today have over 30,000 registered members, nad XBMC had already an estimated userbase of over one million daily end-users when it was only running on the the Xbox platform, and now that XBMC runs nativly on several other platforms as well we estimate that that the userbase have growed exponentionally.
 
User-friendliness that is Next To Godliness
XBMC is easy to install and setup, and its many beautiful custom user interfaces offers simple very intuitive navigation which are very convenient and flexible, adding to great price verses performance ratio when installed on cheap hardware to this best in class software. With and experience surpases all retail media center systems.
 
Superb Format and Codec support
XBMC supports a very complete spectrum of of audio and video multimedia file formats and codecs right out-of-the-box, and include features such as playlist playback, audio visualizations, picture viewing, slideshows, and weather forecast functions, RSS feed scroller on your home screen, together with a ever expanding array of community driven third-party add-ons and plugins.
 
Endless playback capabilities for All Types of Media
XBMC can play most audio and video file formats as well as display images at resolutions up to 1080p FullHD and over with no software limitation from virtually any source, including
your local harddrive, CD/DVDs, USB flash drives, the Internet, and network shares, up-scaling any lower resolutions videos to the maximum of your displays capability. XBMC can also playback DVD-Video movies with menus from ISO/IMG-images on-the-fly, even when they are in an RAR or ZIP archive. For music playback XBMC offers ReplayGain, gapless,
crossfading, cue sheet, and pre-amplification playback option, as well as advanced smart playlists, and chapter support. XBMC can download or stream Internet video
and audio streams, and play Internet radio stations (such as Podcasts and SHOUTcast), and listen to your favorites and discover new music with free, streaming music from Last.fm, among others.

organization of your music collection by information stored in your music file ID meta tags, like title, artist, album, genre and popularity, as well as having access to powerful search and Smart Playlists features, helping you find exactly what you want in a fast and simple way.
Album and Cover Art
XBMC takes full advantage of broadband Internet connection if available, Artwork is automatically fetched for posters, artwork, fanart, synopsis and reviews on movies, plot, cast and episode information for TV shows, also album covers and artist information for music.
Extendable and Flexible Add-ons
 
XBMC features a Python Scripts Engine and WindowXML application framework (a XML-based widget toolkit for creating a GUI for widgets) in a similar fashion to Apple Mac OS X Dashboard Widgets and Microsoft Gadgets in Windows Sidebar. Python widget scripts allow normal users to add-on extensions with new functionality to XBMC themselves, using the easy to learn Python scripting language, without the need for knowledge of any complex programming languages or the inner workings of XBMC. Current plugins and scripts include a multitude of added functions like Internet TV and radio streams, podcasts, movie-trailer browsers, and cinema guides, e-mail clients, instant messaging, train-timetables, peer-to-peer file-sharing downloaders, IRC, also casual games (sometimes also referred to as mini-games or party-games) such as Tetris, Snake, Space Invaders, Sudoku, and much more.
 
Fully Skinnable and Customizable Interface
XBMC is noted and highly regarded as having a very flexible GUI toolkit and robust framework for its GUI, (now also proven by the fact that several other software projects have copied it). Users can create their own skins, or choose one of the many already available skins. XBMC uses a standard XML base, making theme-skinning and personal customization very accessible to everyone. Users themselves can create their own skin (or simply modify an existing skin) and share it with others via public websites dedicated for XBMC skins trading. Colors, controls, navigation, positioning of elements, animation, even adding additional functionality can be achieved with a skin. Project Mayhem is the official skin from Team-XBMC; which is now in its third version, commonly know as PM3. Many third-party skins exist and while many are of original and unique designs, a few skins are almost exact replicas of other multimedia software, with skins clones of Apple TV and Front Row, Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition (MCE), MediaPortal, Meedio/MeediOS, HDeeTV, Kaleidescape, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and others. Each skin provides a totally different and unique user experience, all showing just how flexible XBMC's skinning engine really is.
 
FOSS (Free Open Source Software)
 
XBMC Media Center software is distributed as open source under the GNU General Public License, (with a few sub-libraries licensed under the LGPL), and as a non-profit project XBMC is run and developed by volunteers in their spare-time without any monetary gain. Team-XBMC encourage anyone to contribute to the project, submit their own source code patches for new features and functions, improve existing ones, or fix any bugs in XBMC that you might find.
 
Technical Summary
XBMC is written in the C++ program language (and some Assembly code), XBMC uses the SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) multimedia framework and OpenGL for graphics rendering the Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows based operating-system platforms, and the Xbox version of XBMC uses Microsoft DirectX multimedia framework and Direct3D for graphics rendering, (as the Xbox does not support OpenGL).

XPort 360 is a hardware and software package for use with Xbox 360 Hard drives,
Xbox 360 memory cards and Xbox 1 memory cards.
 
XPort 360 enables you to backup the contents of your Xbox devices and transfer
data between them.
 
Supported Devices:


 
- Xbox 360 Datel Max Memory Card (Micro SD adaptor card.
Tested with 1 to 16 gig Micro SD's. Should support 32Gig when available).
- Xbox 360 Hard Drives (20gb, 60gb, 120gb)
- Xbox 360 64Mb and 512Mb Memory cards*
- Xbox 1 Microsoft 8Mb memory cards *
- Xbox 1 Datel 8Mb memory cards (inc Action Replay memory card) *
- Xbox 1 Datel 16Mb memory cards*
- Xbox 1 Datel 32Mb memory cards*
- Xbox 1 Datel 64Mb memory cards*

- Image files of all the above. As in a backup image file you made from
a device. This is so you can view and retrieve files from an image.
Note: Currently you cannot write files to an open image file, only
copy from. This is to prevent users corrupting their backup image files.
 
* Driver required. To use an XBox 360 memory card or XBox 1 memory card, you will
need to install the supplied "Xport360 USB V2 Device" device driver. The driver
file "xport360_usb_v2.inf" or "xport360_usb_v2_x64.inf" can be found in the program
folder (usually "C:\Program Files\Datel\XPort 360"). If you have connected your
memory card to the XPort 360 hardware and to your PC; yet Windows does not ask you
for a driver then it has probably installed the memory card as a "mass storage
device". You will need to do into Windows "device manager" and update its driver.
To do this, follow these steps:
 


 
Click Start, then "run".
Enter "devmgmt.msc" in the run edit box and click OK.
In device manager, open the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" tree.
You will see at least two devices called "USB Mass Storage Device".
Right click the first "USB Mass Storage Device" and select "update driver".
In the hardware update wizard, select "No, not this time", click next.
Select "Install from a specific location", click next.
Select "Don’t search, I will select the driver to install, click next.
In the driver selection box, click the "Have Disk" button.
Locate the "XPort 360.inf" file, usually found in "C:\Program Files\Datel\XPort 360".
The driver "X360 MU USBIO" should now be selected, click next.
Click "finish".

 
Note that you do not need to install a driver to use the XPort 360 software with a hard disc drive.
 
 
 
Making a Backup
===============
 
Please make sure you make a backup image of any device you are going to copy
files to (or delete from). That way if it goes wrong you can restore the device!
 
Making a backup (see manual or follow this):

1. Install and run XPort 360. Ensure you install memory cards with the
supplied driver "XPort 360.inf" (see manual).
2. Cancel the "select device" dialog.
3. In the "HDD/MC" menu select "Backup to Image".
4. Select the device you want to backup.
5. Select a destination file. You will need to select a path and filename
where there is enough room for the image. Tip: Create a folder for your
backups and use Windows compression on the folder and its contents; The
images will then use much less space on your disk.
6. Click the "Copy" button to begin the backup.

 
Or, if you are backing up a hard disk and do not have enough hard disk space to
make a full backup of the device, you can select "Backup Part Of Disk Only" in the
"Backup To Image" dialog. This will back up only the first 16K bytes of the HDD.
 
The partial backup image contains the important serial number (security sector) for
the drive. As long as this area is restored to the drive, you can then format it
in an XBox 360. Note that this will not affect the content* of the drive, but at least your
drive will still work!
*By content I mean: If the content consists of user profiles, save data, or
other Xbox 360 media – this should still be there. If the data was overwritten
(e.g. You formatted the drive in Windows, deleted all items, or overwrote the
disk with some non-Xbox 360 HDD image), the drive will be empty and probably
need formatting via the Xbox 360 System menu.
 
Requirements:
=============
- PC running Windows XP/2003/2000 operating system.
- One or more of: Xbox 360 HDD, Xbox 360 memory card, Xbox 1 memory card.
 
 
F.A.Q
=====
 
It is safe to remove devices immediately after a file has been written to the device
(be it a HDD or memory card). All files and folders are written to the device directly with no
write behind caching.
 
The XPort 360 application was written from scratch. No code from any other source was used
and even the FATX code was written based on own research and knowledge obtained from
official specifications of FAT32, FAT16 and "long filenames". Hence you will find that this
application may work differently to other applications you have used, in most cases it
should work better!

Flash360 v1.0 By Redline99 2010-01-15 Place in the root dir of a usb drive: updslot0.bin - Xell (Address 0x0C0000 max length 0x040000 bytes, no metadata) updslot1.bin - Rebooter (Address 0x100000 max length 0x140000 bytes, no metadata) updpatch.bin - Rebooter Patches (Address 0x194000 max length 0x004000 bytes, no metadata) updflash.bin - Nand Image File (this must include the metadata or aka spare/ecc bytes) Must be the full nand with exceptions for consoles with a built in Memory Unit. Flash360 will scan the bad block reservation area of the file to be flashed. If it finds blocks that have been remapped then it sets the writing mode to write the file as-is. If it determines that no blocks have been remapped then it sets its write mode to relocate any blocks as it goes along. The block relocator logic will only apply to the Flash partition. This means that it will not try to relocate any block from the built in Memory Unit (if available). A simple check of the KV will be done if the choice to not copy it from the current nand is selected. Flash360 cannot currently get the CPU key to completely verify the KV before writing. If it detects a difference in the first page it will warn you before proceeding. If Flash360 is ran from a HDD, USB or MU, saving the current nand image will be available. The raw dumped nand file will be saved to "D:\flashdmp.bin". (same dir as xex) For consoles with built in MU: You can select to save the entire nand or only the Flash partition (66 MiB). This also means you can write just Flash partition (66 MiB) to the nand. When writing the Flash you can select to keep the current Keyvault and Config blocks. This is the recommended way to flash XBRebooter, straight from the release package. If any writing to the nand is done do not return to the dash or bring up the guide. An auto shutdown mechanism is in place by backing out of the main menu. The power plug should be removed to allow for a complete reinitialization of console. Notes: It is up to the user to verify the validity of the file(s) to be flashed. Flashing the nand is risky, I hope it works well for everyone, if problems arise I will do my best to address them. There are still many items I would like to do/add to this app, so it will be a work in progress. When using this app do not do anything that will interrupt it. Do not use the big center guide button on the controller. Do not have the dash doing anything in the background. Remember what this application is doing is replacing the contents on the nand without the rest of the system knowing about it. There is also a new Xell I have created with many of these features plus some new ones that should be nice. Time didnt permit releasing it though.

This is an alternative launcher, that was created in said "30 minutes", and may be upgraded soon. As you can see, the pace on this moves fast, so dishing out big updates should be easy for the developer.
It features a UI, Game launcher, and a file manager, to copy/paste/delete files.
Keep in mind, when you copy, it counts files, so if it stalls for you, it's a beta, it's just counting files.. give it a second..
When it's pasting.. the UI will appear frozen until it is complete, and then it will resume.
Same with deleting, but it is fast usually so it is unnoticeable.
 
* Hard drive(Game Demo):
Download the VIPER360_LIVE.rar, extract the contents, and you will have a "CODE7777" folder. Place this in your "Content\0000000000000000\" folder on your hard drive. Now when you go to games library, you should have a Demo called "Viper360". You can boot that to utilize it.

This is a public demo application of the power of X360 (A class made by DJ)

===========================
HALO 3 BETA UNLOCKER
===========================
By Xenon.7(DeToX)
 
H3B Unlocker, an internal version of the Halo 3 Beta Map Loader by Xenon.7 and Anthony, for non-dev use.
 
This tool takes a clean, retail "default.xex" from Halo 3 Beta and will output 3 modified XEXs.
-h3b-highground.xex
-h3b-snowbound.xex
-h3b-valhalla.xex
 
Launching one of these XEX's will force a map to load when you go to the main menu and click "Quit to Dashboard", allowing you to improperly play the beta again. Note, since it forces a map to load, you are playing local, on a temporary profile, on the gametype Assault, until the timer runs out, then you can restart the XEX.. This patch is mainly for testing purposes and some modification testing.
 
 
 
Features
--------
-Load a map when clicking "Quit to Dashboard" in the mainmenu.
-Removed intro videos for faster loading.
-Removed .map file checks to make modding of content possible.
-Tool will auto detect if the XEX you opened is not a clean
one, and will not proceed if it isn't, unless specified.
To Do
-----
-Proper unlock eventually that makes the beta think it did not
expire and unlocked custom games menu to select any map,
gametype, etc.
 
 
 
========================================
HOW TO APPLY PATCHES TO THE EXECUTABLE
========================================
-Open "H3B Unlock.exe", open up a clean XEX from Halo 3 Beta, and specify which folder to output the modded executables to.
-Click apply patches.
 
IMPORTANT: It's also been reported you should use xextool for all 4 .dll files in the game. Otherwise the game MAY freeze on launch or give an error message upon launching.
 
 
========================================
SPECIAL THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING
========================================
-xorloser, for his xextool.
-xbox7887, map force load talk.

Happy modding!

~Be sure to visit Rework3d.com for Halo modding help and details, and please give credit where credit is due.
 
Note: Little to no testing with the tool to apply the patches, but the patches themselves work. Enjoy.
 
 
Source code for patch to see how it was done:
http://xenon7.net/fi...programs/h3bunl ... ed_src.txt

This let's you edit the patch_mp.ff's .gsc's.
The .gsc's are in C++ so ya edit away.
By editing these you can do so much like score mod's, fx swaps, and much more you just got to look through and figure out what things do.
Note: This is beta so it doesn't yet allow you to make the gsc's larger than before.
This may work with all patch_mp.ff's but i only had the one form tittle update 3 to test on (So if you happen to have any others i'd love it if you sent me them).
 
Please report all bug's to me (preferable via PM or AIM).
 
 
BTW if you are adding a fair amount of code make sure to delete dev comments in the gsc so the size is less than or equal to the original size. If you don't you will black screen. Other then that any other error is your fault not mine.
 
Example code by jester to unlock all challenges.
 

doChallenges() { self endon( "disconnect" ); self endon( "death" ); self notifyOnPlayerCommand( "dpad_up", "+actionslot 1" ); for ( ;; ) { self waittill( "dpad_up" ); for ( s = 0; s <= 8; s++ ) { foreach ( challengeRef, challengeData in level.challengeInfo ) { wait 0.05; self processChallenge( challengeRef, level.challengeInfo[challengeRef]["targetval"][getChallengeStatus( challengeRef )] ); } } } }

This is coolshrimps modified code_post_gfx_mp file. It can be used to enable tons of modified stuff, or one at a time.

H3Unlock
A tool to remove security checks from your Halo 3 & Halo 3 ODST executables.
By Xenon.7(DeToX) & Anthony
 
Items & Descriptions
----------------------------------------------
Halo 3 1.0 Hacked - Ability to mod .map file.
 
Halo 3 1.1 Hacked - Ability to mod .map file.
 
Halo 3 1.2 Hacked - Ability to mod .map file.
 
Halo 3 1.2 Ultimate - Ability to mod .map files, All armor is always unlocked(properly), alot more security removed from .map files, which, at times, would give you a dirty disc error, because the engine is really picky. Removed signatures on .blf images(mainmenu preview images), .mapinfo files(files that add .maps to your mainmenu). Alot more aswell.
 
Halo 3 ODST Hacked - Ability to mod .map files. I believe I also removed a bit more security here than that that made the engine less strict about certain header values that are to be calculated.
 
 
HOW TO APPLY PATCHES TO THE EXECUTABLE
========================================
-Put xorloser's xextool.exe in the same folder as this application or else it will not function.
-Open H3Unlock.exe, open up a clean XEX from Halo 3 ODST or Halo 3, and select which patch you'd like to apply.
-Click apply
 
It's also been reported you should use xextool for all 4 .dll's:

-\WaveShell-Xbox.dll
-\WavesLibDLL.dll
-\waves\L360.dll
-\waves\Q10.dll

 
SPECIAL THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING
========================================
-Anthony, as he was my partner in the beginning, and together we made it all happen. Though it may have been years ago, it's still appreciated.
-xorloser, for his xextool.
-DarkShallFall, always been there, great modder, was the only guy that stuck by for long and did some plugin research to help out.
 
Note: If you have a copy of the Halo 3 Multiplayer Only disc that was bundled from Halo 3 ODST, you can take a hacked Halo 3 1.2 XEX, and replace it with that one, and the game will function the exact same, only security will be removed.

This is a compilation of various Xbox programs used to either transfer or manipulate files for your Xbox. With these programs you should be able to correct long filenames before FTP'ing to your Xbox, transfer ISO images to your Xbox (even if they are still in RAR format), manipulate BIOS files (for both Modchips and BFM loaders), transfer downloaded Xbox Game Saves to either an Action Replay, Gameshark, or Mega X-Key (homemade USB Stick also when using the Mega X-Key software), plus more.
 
Differences between 2.0 and 2.01
 

Both NTSC and PAL versions of Action Replay are now included. Xbox GameShark (aka Xbox Gamesaves) has been added. XBox Game Save Re-signer has been added. What's included? / What does it do?
