Map Pack Installer

 

 

This is something I thought I would contribute to the scene. I thought it might help, because I noticed that the was a lack of one of these.

 

Features:

-Will download maps through ftp from the halo 2 disc in the xbox

-Will patch files off the computer placed into maps folder inside of Map Pack Folder

-Will patch and resign patches that are ppf and serenity

-Will upload maps to a user specified folder

-Will change the internal name of the Halo 2 default.xbe and upload it to the user specified folder when getting maps from the xbox, as well as installing all the fonts

-You can decide the name that the map will have once on your xbox, through the patch(patchfile - finalname.ppf/serenity)

-I would have liked to have used sppf, but it wasn't open source, and didn't have call commands that I know of. Serenity should be able to make patches for most files anyway.

 

I think that's it, hopefully this will be a handy tool for anybody releasing a map pack, or just for people that want to patch a few maps, resign them, and send them to a folder on their xbox.

 

I tested a few times myself, I didn't notice any bugs, but I'm not a professional programmer, so let me know if there are any and I'll upload a fix.

 

 

Forgot to thank people that made this possible

The-Guardians: Thanks for opensourcing your serenity autopatcher, I used the calling code for serenity

Iron Forge for serenity

Anybody else who helped me out with this, and/or who's code I used.
