ok i want to talk about the xbox mods for fable, i know that some of ya are tired about people asking how to mod fable and ssuch, well im making a GRADE A+ tutorial right now and i need some help perfecting it so this tutorial will guide all the noobs to modding the xbox fable, and so they will stop asking questions about how to mod it without the freezing.
ok now i gave alot of thought of reading tutorials and here in this website most people that post a tutorial are not getting it, so now im asking a little help
okay Silverback said something about renaming Cdef files if a mod changes them on xbox cause they all come out with blank names or somehting of that sort, if you dont rename them the game freezes on boot up so i heard.
ok this tutorial is what i made so far, and i need help on how to renaming cdefs files so my game can load up fine.
if i get an answer to this, this should resolve all noobs questions to xbox.
im going to put this GRADE A+ mod noob tutorial (XBOX) in the xbox section of the website.
this will prevent questions, and hopefully stop the questions

############################
ok now the tutorial i am making
is step by step with every information you can describe in great detail
-----------------
INFORMATION ON XBOX NOTE: modding a xbox cant be explained here how to mod one, but i can give a description what it does, when modding a xbox, it turns your xbox into a FTP (File Transfer protocol) server which is the ability to transfer your files from one system to the next for such example; (xbox files sent to the PC)
STEP 1: organization
on your desktop it is for the best to make a folder called (FABLE MODS) on your desk top, inside that folder make a few new folders named as FABLE APPS, Finished mod files, .big files, unmodded files, hex editor and FMP.
STEP 2:REQUIRED APPLICATIONS
-Hex editor
-Fable explorer 4
-Free Roam (for spawnin & remove barriers)
-FABLE TOOLS(for convert to PC format)
-Xbox TOOLS (convert textures extra data to PC)
note put these in your APPS folder in fable mods
++++++++++++++++++++++
STEP 3:transfer
transfer the files, dialogue,text,fonts,graphics,textures.biz to the unmodded folder
and game,script,names.bin with it also
then copy the script,game,name.bin in the .bigs folder too
------------------------
STEP 4:Convert using the APPS
open up fable tools
you should see 3 tabs
WAD,BIZ,& BIG
Click the BIZ tab
you should see 2 boxes on top and 2 boxes on the bottom
lets click the first top box (click the browse button) now it should bring up a box, locate on your pc the unmodded files folder.
click the file but only one at a time
lets go ahead and click the dialogue.biz, now the 1st box should say the files location in fable tools
now click the second box
search for your .big files folder
and inside the browse box type at the bottom of the screen dialogue.big
then hit the decompress button
repeat the process naming all the files .big till you got all the biz files.
now this should have copied all the biz files into a big file format in the .big files
NOTE: no need to worry your unmodded files are not touched so there still clean and working fine.
---------------------------
STEP 5: hex editor script.bin
this will make the script .bin become PC format
open up a hex editor
and hit open in the file menu, locate the script.bin in the .big folder
it should pop up on the first line
these 5 #'s
00 76 B3 2D 49- this is the original value for xbox format
when your ever going to load script.bin in FE
make sure to change it to PC value which is this
00 AA 45 44 48- PC format
hit save let it save
for about 2 mins
then close hex editor
BONUS NOTE: open xbox TOOLs
and select convert and click textures
select the texture.big file in the .big folder
and then it shouls say textures XBOX to PC (OK NOW CLOSE) "for now"
-------------------
STEP: 6 Fable explorer 4 & FMP
open fable explorer click file and open up the .big folder, select thhe files, make sure not to click the same one twice, cause it will lock up and shut off, when you have all the .big files in the list on FE
then file and open and click the drop downbox saying .big archive and select the .Bin Archive
then select names first then
games then script.bin
--------------------
STEP 7: FMP Load up
some PC's load up for the xbox as FMP's others dont
just be safe with xbox FMP's for now until safer other wise
apply any FMP's you want in the fmp folder using FE
---------------------
STEP 8: recompile to finish
when you finish adding the fmp's right clickc the bigs and hit recompile it brings up the browsing box, select finished mod folder
and type all the files names the same for each specific one you recompile. example right click dialogue.big and hit recompile
and save it as dialogue.big
it should save it with the fmp's in the folder
do this for all.big
then for the .bins right click and save as, and name them the same for each specific folder.
then your done, close FE
--------------------
reconvert everything back to normal
OPEN xbox tools reconvert textures back to PC and script back to game
this will reset the hex, so you dont have to do it manually on the script
then open FABLE tools
and go to the bottom first box and look for your .big files in your fnished folder.
then in the 2nd box save as.biz files for each specific name giving
in the finished folder.
-----------------------
FINISHED: send back to xbox in all the directories over writed with the modded files

I still recommend the xdk if your running an original (modded) xbox. Gives access to the drives via winows explorer as well as the abilty to reboot the console, takes screen/vid caps and a few other things. It even runs under Vista (albeit not perfectly).
I'm guessing it's still out there on the interwebs so google is your friend if you're interested in getting it.
There is nothing in the Void.
There is no point to it's being.
I wish there was a reason.
There is nothing in the Void,
But what we put there.

The action replay is used to transfer saves. Its used in some dashboard mods also but not much can be done with it really.
