Custom Cursor for UI

[odseraphim]

How do you do it? Kirby has tried replacing it in bitmaps.map and changing the reference in the shell tag, to no avail. Is there a tutorial somewhere, a tool to assist, something we're missing?

Thanks.

CE or PC version?

Did you try replacing the old cursor? That's how I did it.

[odseraphim]

CE.

By replacing, can you detail how exactly you did it?
Is it really as easy as just putting one file over the other? I'm pretty sure he already tried that..

I don't think you can just overwrite the bitmap because Halo loads it from bitmaps.map. I believe Masterz1337 released a modded version of bitmaps.map on halomaps, so maybe try looking there for the tag that references the cursor and redirecting it.

Hint: You dont replace you reference a new one.

I replaced the old one, worked completely fine, you just need to re do the text to where it goes so it can get the new processed data so it compiles correctly.

You have to reference it. Otherwise it's just pulled from bitmaps.map.

hex edit the old ones name in bitmaps.map and then replace it in your tagset.

Just re-extracted the DH UI tags (thanks Haruhi~!), and I have overwritten the cursor bitmap (ui/shell/bitmaps/cursor.bitmap). Recompiled it now with a stock bitmaps.map and it worked fine. I do remember using a custom bitmaps.map at one point though.
