I'm new here so please forgive my noobness. I downloaded the .fmp for the Sword of 1000 Truths and I'd like to put it in my game. How would I go about doing such.
If at all possible, and an admin would be so kind, just e-mail me and we can do a private conversation without cluttering up the forum much more.
PS: I am trying to mod the actual Original Xbox game, and am using FlashFXP. So if I'm usign the wrong program or some such nonsence please let me know.

I am an admin, but I am opposed to private support discussions for things like this specifically because it is a common thing. The more answered posts like these there are, the more people will find them, read them, and benefit from them without making a new thread asking the same question. So it's alright, we will do this here.
Modding on the xbox. Interesting. I thought for sure the FMP would be incompatible for various reasons but if it loads and saves properly I guess you're almost good to go. All you need to do now is write a level script and stick the item in a chest somewhere.
Grab FreeRoam from our wiki, under utilities. Use that to dump the FinalAlbion.wad. Rename or delete the FinalAlbion.wad. The TNGs in the newly created FinalAlbion directory are plaintext files that can be opened in notepad. Find the one that corresponds with the map in which you want the item to be made available. Then it is as simple as copy/pasting a chest script, adjusting the coordinates, changing the items in the chest, and you're good to go.
Here I have provided a template chest script for you. You can get the OBJECT name from FE after loading the FMP. The number will be 14760+ and obviously it will be under OBJECTs. The coordinates will depend on the map. UID can be any number, but standard is 20 digits starting with 1844.

As I have said I am new to all of this. I'm not sure if it will even work on the xbox I just got the FMP and am wondering where to go from there if anyone is willing to guide me. I read off a seperate forum that explained any Fable mods from here would work on any Fable game, PC or Xbox. I'll look up more on the subject as I can and read on FreeRoam and see if its plausible that it might work.
Thank you for your help and I eagerly await your reply.

Update: Ok so I downloaded Fable Explorer and the "Xbox" xml. The issue I'm having now is when I try to open Fable in Fable Explorer there isn't a Big Bin or BBB file on the Xbox CD. I seem to be stuck here and can't find anymore info. Any suggestions?

I'm running a basic xbox. This is my first kind of mod or customization I've done. I just want to mod the original xbox fable game with a new weapon and more then likely make some new quests personally.
Anyways I don't entirely know what you mean by dashboard.

Okay thank you! Will this personally cost me anything and how much of modding will I be doing? Just software basics or adding chips and redoing hardware.
Also while I look into this and on a more on topic basis, How will this allow me to access the information on the game and mod it using my pc?
~Fyi: I'm asking these questions so those completely new to this can learn it from this thread. Feel free to ignore these questions if you wish as I am looking into it personally now.~
