  Halo PC Single Player Checkpoint Cheat

Note: Only use this if you backup all concerning files. Halo2files is not responsible for any damage you cause to your computer following this tutorial.

--------------

This is the format of gamesaves(checkpoints) for Halopc. I spent a little time reverse engineering them to figure it out. Feel free to use this knowledge anyway you see fit.

Basics:
A. All gamesaves are located in My Documents\My Games\Halo\savegames\player1\checkpoints\autosave. sav

I: X stands for the drive you installed Halo under.
II: Player1 is the Halopc profile you want to modify.

D:Autosave.sav is the actualy file you need to modify.

B. You will now need to open autosave.sav
Browse to where yout gamesaves are located and the profile you want. Right click autosave.sav and press Open with...
Now a window should popup. Select Notepad and check the box to always open files like this in notepad.

C. Now that you have the gamesave open, you should see alot of "random" numbers similar to this format;

1,2,3,
4,5,6,
7,8,9
That is the format that gamesaves are saved in. It may seem random, but its not. Let me explain how its al set up.

1. This is the first number. It represents what map you will start out on.
(0)The Pillar of Autumn
(1)Halo
(2)The Truth and Reconciliation
(3)The Silent Cartographer
(4)Assault on the Control Room
(5)343 Guilty Spark
(6)The Library
(7)Two Betrayals
(8)Keyes
(9)The Maw
For this part of the tutorial, we will want to choose 8(Keyes), so replace 1 with 8.
8,2,3,
4,5,6,
7,8,9
2. The second number is the difficulty you will start out on.
(0)Easy
(1)Normal
(2)Heroic
(3)Legendary
We will choose easy. So your file should now look like this.
8,0,3,
4,5,6,
7,8,9
3. The third number is how many seconds you want the gamesave to appear to have been played. It uses a simple formula.
Any number * 25 + 25.
So for example, if you wanted 100 seconds, you would put
100 * 25 = 2500. Then add 25 to get 2525. Enter that in place of 3. So it now looks like
8,0,2525,
4,5,6,
7,8,9
4. The forth number is the month you want the gamesave to appear to have been made on. 1 being January, and 12 being December. For this tutorial we will use September (9). So it now looks like
8,0,3,
9,5,6,
7,8,9
5. The fifth number is the day you want the gamesave to appear to have been made on. 1 through 32. Again for this tutorial we will use the 23. Now your gamesave looks like this
8,0,3,
9,23,6,
7,8,9
6. The sixth number is the year you want the gamesave to appear to have been made on. 4 digits only. For this tutorial, lets use 1985.
8,0,3,
9,23,1985,
7,8,9
7. The seventh number is Hours in Military Time. Military time for hours goes in numbers on a 24 hour cycle, not a 12 hour one. So 1 Pm, would be 13 hours. 7 Am would be 7 hours. 11 pm would be 23 hours. For this example, we will use 13 or 1 PM.
8,0,3,
9,23,1985,
13,8,9
8. Almost done. The eighth number is min. 1 is 1 min. 40 is 40 min. Ect...1 through 60.
For tutorial purposes, lets use 27.
8,0,3,
9,23,1985,
13,27,9
9. The last number is seconds. It ranges from 1 to 59. And for the last time Im going to say this, for tutorial purposes lets use 13.
8,0,3,
9,23,1985,
13,27,13

And now all that's left to do is save. Save the notepad file and you're done. Now all that's left is to load Halo, go to Single Player, and load up your gamesaves wich will start you at the beginning of the level.

Simpler than it looks. This is what I do on slow days. I did make a program a while back to do this for you though so you don't have to edit anything. You'll have to find it though.

This tutorial/documentation was created by Yomama from Halomods. Feel free to post this anywhere you like as long as you keep this with my name still in it.
