I was thinking that if like in Rainbow Six 3, you could modify a profile to give a mercenary night/thermal vision and motion tracking/electromagnetic tracking for a spy. Sounds pretty cool in theory, but still dont know if this is possible. The only reason I would like to find this out is because I have been living on SC:PT for the past 3 weeks playing 4 man lan parties, nonstop all weekend, every weekend, and I feel it is time to make the game a little more interesting. I am thinking of making it so that the dpad-up and dpad-down would control the extra visions. Please tell me if I am making a total fool of myself for asking such a question, or help contribute with answers.


Do not flame me for this, this is not to fuck over xbox live, it is for system link only!

stop trying to cheat a good game & if its for system link why would you want to play with mercenarys who can see in the dark.

ov corse its for live just a silly way to cover it up.

plzz stick to hacking games on a pc dont try ruin xbox live good games

I'm not trying to cover anything up for xbox live, I just want to try something new, and I thought that giving a mercenary spy abilities or a spy mercenary abilities, but apparently no one gives a damn.

There is no way this could be played on xbox live because the game needs to be on your hard drive to hack it. The only files hackable are on the dvd, which you would copy directly to your drive. I don't think he's looking for action replay stuff, just stuff like people have done with ThirdEchelonUser.ini and similar.

It's sad when people flame without giving people the benefit of the doubt.

Well actually thats not true.. there is a way and I can say that it's known among quite a few ppl that you can do this on XBlive. Not having all four visual abilities but swapping them from spy to merc etc...

Alright, after working in collaboration with M6A4TS today, we have come across some interseting splinter cell modifications. We have discovered how to change the amount of grenades you hold, the amount of mines you hold, the blasting range of smoke grenades, frags, etc... The place where you look to do this type of hacking is in the xbsbf.umd file. While in FlashFXP select the file and select edit, this shows you all of the things you may want to change. Second, you open this file up in a hex editor to modify the text. Now, the only bad thing about this is that if the number of something you want to change is only a sinlge digit number, it must remain a single digit number, and same for double digits. Still no luck on the visions, but we have gotten somewhere on it, hope someone else out there is interested in helping!

As TownJew stated, we did figure some stuff out, we found the spot where it specifies what key changes what vision, its something like Joy12 = SwitchHeadset 1 | SwitchHeadset 2, but it doesn't seem to work from Mercenary to Spy, we can set it so that the spy has double thermal, and etc, but when we tried changing the mercenary modes, nothing would happen and we lost motion tracking and electromagnetic all together, I will keep trying and try and make a more detailed post sometime.

yo i was also lookin in the profile, and found something that was of similar layout to the RS 3 profile, i would experiment in changing things, however i would need the SC-PT XSavSig info, which i doubt anyone would give out.

Trailer

that would be fuggin awesome!

@ M6A4TS:

You said it's possible to manipulate some techical files of the grenades, mines etc.

so is it even possible to set a amount of grenades, e.g. 10 instead of 5 for each new gameround?

I would prefer to start (as a merc) with 10 instead of 5 grenades.

THx, Floo

Yes it is, I've started with as many as 99 grenades, might be able to go higher, but I haven't tried.

ok, thx for affirmation, but can you show me your log, or what you changed in the "xbsbf.umd", i made it like this, saved it but nothing changed:

i wanted to have 7 smoke grenades:


; -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; GADGET - SMOKE GRENADE
; -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[SBase.SGadSmokeGrenade]
Charge=7
RefireRate=2
ItemName=Smoke G.

Maybe it's because my box has german language?

thx floo

Alright, haven't posted in a while, but in order for you to get more smoke grenades, you are editing the wrong section, what you are editing is the "charge" which is what I'm guessing is how potent the grenade is, like the range that balongs to it. I haven't edited the xbfsd.umd since M6A4TS and I first hacked it, we haven't tried anything after that. Still, check in a different spot for smoke grenades, and I think it is possible to get 999 greanades also, even that much ammo. It's just we really have no use for any of these hacks, so we just play it normally instead of hacked.

thx for information TownJew, I'll try that soon.

But in my opinion it's very useful to do some small hacks, like 5 instead of 3 mines, because on maps like deftech belew it's recommended to use about 2 mines/building (like 2 in building A, 2 in building B, 2 in building C), otherwise one of the mercs has to commit suicide to get 3 mines again, and that's boring

So, keep on gaming/hacking, Floo

hi TownJew, i've checked all other mine "spots" or keywords in this file, but somehow i didn't find any definition of the amount of mines, grenades.

would it be possible if you have a look at yours, would be very helpfull

Thx, Revello aka Floo

I might look into it, but it should be in there somewhere, like I said, I haven't been in the xbfs.umd or w/etf it is in a good month now, so I really couldn't tell ya, I'd look into it now, but my xbox is at M6A4TS house, waiting to play some more rivermall/federal bank tomorrow.

It appears I had this backed up on my pc, well thats what you edit, you change the Charge= to w/e number you want.

This is how you change your damage and all that for what the mines do also, so if there was a spy in a room 50 feet away from the mine, you could still have it explode, just change the damage to like 4000 and the range to 4000, could be fun.

You appear to be changing the power that the mine is thrown from the gun.... note the 'minelauncher' in the area of the hack.

Take a look at the thread above yours
You'd want to edit [SBase.SMineProx]'s properties.


I'm jut assuming this of course havn't tried anything yet.

hi visor:

yes, it says "[SBase.SGadMultiMinesLauncher]", but the "standard-charge" of it is 3, and i had to change it to 5. But the grenade launcher (of the assault rifle) does have a load of 5 from every start on, so it cannot be the Mineslaucher, can it? ??

on the other side, THIS TEXT:

[SBase.SWeapon]

doesn't include the charge option, or how many laser/proxymines you can take


Quite confusing, so what the hell is wrong with it ?

thx Floo

Are you editing this in a text editor or a hex editor? Modifying it with a text editor simply won't work, if you are using one, get a hex editor. That's what seems to be the problem here.

*lol* of course, yeah i was using a text editor!

any idea where to get a free hexeditor, or is this illegal-stuff?

Thx Floo

http://www.download.com/3000-2352-10004918...page&tag=button This is Hex Workshop, very popular, it has a trial version and it seems to be the most popular hex editor used in game editing. If the trial version isn't good enough, pay for it.

Hi TownJew,
Thx everything worke, but there is still one problem:
I noticed that if you got the downloaded u$ on your hdd (needs to be there because of Federal Bank and River Mall Maps) the modification of the "....umd" file doesn't work, BECAUSE in the u$ folder there is also an .umd file located, which controls the MP-maps.

SO the modification of the .umd file from pandora/system doesn't work, if u$ is available -> new maps won't work.

I've already tried some things but nothing worked. Any idea on how to run the new maps with modified .umd file?



Greets, Floo

hacking lol
you mean editing

Are you using your maps that you paid for with a modifed .umd? I'm pretty sure it will work fine if you use them by them in the system folder of the game. Just follow your own tutorial on how to use the maps without paying for them, and leave the ones you paid for in your u$ folder. I only have the maps because of my friend, I haven't actually payed for them because I don't like pandora on live, too many queers. Test it out, I'd like to know if it's possible.

H/t/f??? do u need a dvd rw?? and how the hell are u doin this editing anyway?????

p.s. fuck you

u guys talking bout the pc game right??

xbox scene means XBOX

No we're talking about xbox version of splinter cell pandora tomorrow


Greets FLoo

Hey guys, read through your early post and I changed the following:

; -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; GADGET - SMOKE GRENADE
; -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[SBase.SGadSmokeGrenade]
Charge=99
RefireRate=2
ItemName=Smoke G.

But my SC freezes when I'm loading at the Multi-player screen, it loads up close to the whole bar and then freezes, what am I doing wrong...thanx for the help...

Also, I used the Hex Editor...

I have a question

Well.... everything we have been talking about will it work on xbox live or only o single player??

This is for the guy who made 99 grenades or whatever.... I tried this also but it didnt work in a hex editor. I only got it to work like this eg if the charge was 1 digit say 3 you could only change it to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 but if its an item which already has a two digit number then you can go from 1 - 99

Thanks Helios, I only tried it with 99 because someone posted they can have 99. I'll try that and I'll post back...
