Game File Mystery Hunt...

[nikita488]

Guys, who know where are located the original wheels for cars? not tuned.

[tadd]

Thanks for the info tom wondered where you had gone

[PedoneRosso]

I guess it might be an impossible request, but maybe you guys can do it?

 

Would it be possible to have a complete collision model at once of the whole chiliad mountain?

Does the idea of such a thing make sense, or the mountains' exterior surfaces are not possible to be considered as a single object whose collision model is possible to isolate?

I'm asking because in the Chilad Mistery thread the idea of a false wall on a side of a mountain is often taken in consideration. Some think that the right weather conditions (possibly a thunder storm, maybe at night) might be triggers for some false wall to disappear (leaving a visible opening), maybe from some difficult to reach spot on a mountain's surface, or somewhere else.

@tgascoigne The XMT/CMT files are not RSC7 files. They're some kind of compressed META file that looks as if it contains hashes for strings but nothing matches up. The most I could figure out was strings, the rest was gibberish without seeing how the fame uses the information.

 

Edit: I hate auto correct on this phone

Umm not being horrible here but since when did this place become a place for modders?

 

THIS TOPIC IS FOR MYSTERY HUNTING ONLY!!!

 

sorry but the next person to come here and ask us for a mod of some kind or just here to ask for files for modding but is not hunting for the MYSTERY will be reported!!

 

I REPEAT!! THIS TOPIC IS NOT FOR MODDING AND ONLY FOR MYSTERY HUNTING. (should your mod help the hunt, like gtabumhoffer, it will be tolerated, but just asking us for mods or files for your mods isnt going to happen)

 

My iron fist has slammed the table on this matter!! You guys have got enough modding topics and forums to not have to ruin our humble little file research topic... dont blame us if we make more progress than the modding community either lol you will have to wait till they catch up, or you will have to mystery hunt with us for access to these tools and help from us file hunters... simply coming here asking for files or mods will get you ignored and maybe reported if im feeling bitchy lol

 

That is all.

That morse code...does it say "codex" or code x"?

[tadd]

No space between e and x so im thinking codex as one word.

[Ungreth]

Hmm...well presumably that word must have some real significance if they've hidden it in morse code, but I can't imagine how.

[agencydude]

Hey tadd, /u/AllUpinSmoke on Reddit figured out where 0x1847C2AC is played

http://www.reddit.com/r/chiliadmystery/comments/1w7ivp/new_midi_file_decoded/

 

just so you know.

[tadd]

@ungreth... yeh seems like the whole mystery and mural is a codex lol we will see soon i guess.

 

@fender... thanks man, not been checking reddit lately, will catch up.

[tadd]

I realise my above comment to the modders seems a bit harsh... i am not against your file research in the slightest... in fact we can mutually benefit from each others research into files...

 

My problem however, is coming to this mystery topic, where we are making advancements and demanding files and tutorials on how to do certain things... if you would like info from us, there is a PM service on this forum and some of us would be happy to help you there... this topic however is not for modding requests or research, unless offering the mystery something in return...

 

Coming here and taking research and asking for our help and then disappearing and offering nothing in return is, well, disrespectful... we are happy to help anyone but some information on the work you are doing and how it could benefit us all would be nice.

 

Sorry to rant

If only the same could have been alleviated with reoze that dude was a dynamo in the hunt

 

But yes, again, enough with the passive aggressive sh*te, modding the game is not the intent of this thread at all.

[Devorah]

Alright I understand...I'm new here and sorry.

[tadd]

@dev... no probs mate, wasnt just directed at you, just in general i see a lot of mention of our topic in modding forums and post... "these guys are finding good stuff, ask them for the vehicles" is one post i read recently with a link to this topic...

 

As i said i have no issues helping but at least bring something to the table and explain what we could gain from the info

[agencydude]

@dev No one is discouraging anyone from hunting. some people just want to mod SP and IMO that's OK, but MP is just out of question. That's the dilemma. Like buying a character on eBay for WoW. I guess that makes sense?

 

Whatever you find mack pimp tadd, there will be some sort of answer. Toodaloo until then everyone. Happy gaming, and hunting...

[SomeBoredDude]

I want to help, where are you getting the files from to find all this? Are you extracting from the disc or what?

[TirkaneX]

Hi here, have you spotted in your file the sound of a "Geiger counter"?

[LiquidNitrogen]

@SomeBoredDude you have to rip your game disc which requires a modded console.

 

You could also help by guessing natives which are required for understanding scripts.

@boreddude, PM me and i will explain

 

@tirk... i am currently doing a second pass through the sound files as my first pass i didnt seem to find some things i was looking for... the sounds coming from the rocket near the diner are among the sounds i couldnt find... so after my second pass if i still cant find some sounds i will be making a post regarding certain missing sounds...

 

Bare with me, i am on the case

XBN Converter is coming along nicely, just a few small-ish things left to do. Some pics of v_tower.xbn: http://imgur.com/a/gJxc9

 

Really all that's left is to rewrite some parts of the exporter side to make it all hook together nicely, and to work out an easy way to create the cubes from the 4 points they give us (you'll notice there are wierd squiggles where there should be stuff).

Tom... you are the man!!

 

Thanks a lot bro

[TirkaneX]

Hi here,

 

As we have the coords x, y and z, someone would be interested to realize a spherical representation from the satellite map? If it doesn't take too much time obv.

[_CP_]

In .xbn files are info about placing static collision in game world, did you figure it out?

[AllUpNSmoke]

Here are the MIDI Files from about a month ago that people have decoded:

 

0x06F5206A - THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPED OVER THE LAZY DOG

0x080AFB0E - CODEX

0x0D7D48A3 - HEY, YOU NEVER CALL, HOW D'YOU FANCY GOING BOWLING

0x18FAD4AA - SOS

0x1812F4D5 - BAN CLOTHES. BAN LIES. BAN YOUTH. BAN DECEIT. EAT OF THE FLESH. DRINK OF THE BLOOD. WE SHALL BE FREE ONCE MORE. BECAUSE WE KNOW. ALTRUISM. THE GREATEST GOOD, FOR THE GREATEST GENERATION. WE SHALL BOOM AGAIN

These are the MIDI Files I've found so far:

0x1791D55C - Musical Horn 1

0x1A43E28F - Musical Horn 2

0x00565824 - Musical Horn 3

0x0614093B - Musical Horn 4

0x198175EC - Musical Horn 5

0x1847C2AC - This sound plays at St. Brigid Baptist Church in Paleto Bay at 6:30 and 18:30. It's the organ inside the church

Files I'm Unsure of:

0x1371A6E1 - Sounds to Me Like A Chicken (Also in MP3 Format, not MIDI)

0x155F3C89

0x16F33326

0x19BAB701

If you can help decipher these 3/4 other files, it would be greatly appreciated.

[tadd]

Hey smoke, welcome... i will have another look at these files (have them on my phone lol) and see if i can understand them... good find on the church .midi though

 

Edit: a few pages back i posted about them also and explained what i thought everything was, will have another look though.

[Devorah]

I've started my journey to file haunting..but how to get the encryption key from default.xex I have the Xextool now what ?

[tadd]

@above... there are quite a few discussions and tutorials about opening the xbox files in this topic (earlier pages of the topic) so you might want to search for an answer there.

 

And @smoke... i have re reviewed these files...

 

0x155F3C89 - we discussed this a few pages back, i said it sounds like a code and then SOS SOS in morse code... another member (forgot who now, sorry) mentioned it maybe being an EAS or some kind of emergency broadcast... i have not been able to find any more out about this...

 

0x16F33326 - is very weird... definitely not morse code as it has high and low notes and not all one note but a very strange sound...

 

0x19BAB701 - and i believe this could be the FZ horn they play in the mornings i think it is... would need to check in game, been a while since i heard the FZ horn.

 

Just thought i should re mention that these sounds will have different instruments playing them ingame... like the roman/bowling morse would have a tapping sound added... the musical horns have a car horn sound and so on...

 

may be try adding different instruments to the .midi files we dont understand and one will begin to sound familiar once we get the right instrument lol where are our musicians?

 

Edit: @talkol or tgas or anyone else capable... is there a way we can take the location of this church smoke found the midi playing at and search in the files for what makes the midi play?

 

Like there is obviously a script or file that says play this music as said time... can we find that file and work out how to find the other unexplained midi files using the church organ script as a guide?
