Got mods? Other than innane skinning

[bumlove]

Hi to all, I'm kinda late to the party but still hope to have fun.
I love the hitman series, the challange of completing the game and then the greater fun of making your own missions, like murdering all the staff at the casino/hotel without raising any alarm.
I have a modding back ground with halo 2 which is mainly hex based and had many years of fun developing insane weapons.
Recently I rebought HMBM and installed it to my modded xbox, as a matter of course I took a look at the game files to see if there was anything I could mod/mess with in a simple text editor.
I found alot of zip files and upon opening these I found xml file ini files and other files I could open in a text editor. Everything appeared straight forward but upon reZipping a file and trying to load the game I get a Disc error message.
Now I'm aware that most games have some sort of check sum to verify that the game has not been messed with (in halo 2 it was every other DWORD after the header XORed)
Is there anywhere I should be looking for advice as I believe that the xbox version will have very few differences to the pc version other than xbox needs to have optomized memory allocation.

I would like to start by giving larger bonus' for the first few levels to open up all weapon upgrades etc etc but I have notice too that there is zip files where I could reroute charitures (spelling) movements.

Any help? happy killing
