Halo 3 Web Services

This api contains a rough reimplementation of all of Halo 3's web services including support for

• Matchmaking
• File Share
• Bungie Favourites
• Bungie Pro
• Banhammer
• Active Transfer
• Service Records
• MOTDs
• Screenshots
• Nameplates
• Crash Reporting
• Webstats (needs a lot of work, see #4)

and much more :)

These web services were created for the retail version of Halo 3 for the Xbox 360. However, most builds of Halo 3 should be supported. PC builds, if they were to somehow connect, do use the same endpoints, leaked pre-release builds for the 360 however do not, though the changes are probably minor. The beta should also be supported.

This project is built for use with Sunrise-Plugin, a dashlaunch plugin which connects Xbox 360 Halo 3 to a custom webserver.

Preparing the project

1. Install dependencies with the npm install command.
2. Create a .env file in the project root, following this structure:

  API_PORT=8080
  MONGO_URI=

3. Build the web service with the npm run build command.

Handling Title Storage (Playlists/MOTDs/More)

This API is setup to serve "title storage" files, however these files are not included. Back in the day, Bungie had a bunch of tooling including big ass spreadsheets and debug game builds to spit out these files, these days we have a tool to generate everything we need from JSON called Sunrise-BLFTool.

There are a few options for content.

1. Grab my recommended title storage files from the Sunrise-Content repository.
2. Fork the Sunrise-Content repository and roll your own.
3. Grab Gamecheat13's backup of the OG title storage before the servers were shutdown.

• Please note, this backup is slighlty corrupt (bad hash on network_configuration) which does cause some notable bugs, I recommend against this generally.

Once you've got the files you need, they live in public/storage/title
