HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Yo, ive finnaly got an xbox 360 and i need to play it using my monitor. It is all plugged in and ready to go, but the problem is that i have no software that can display the input. Anyone got any suggestions or links to programs that are free and capable of this?

NOTE!!!!


Swaping the pelican for another vehicle or the messy way in SparkEdit is not the only way to get the pelican in.


You can just copy the Meta number of the pelican manually (Ctrl + C) and go to the scenery tab and paste the Meta (Ctrl + P) into some rock scenery that you wouldn

Actually, I just found out how to do dual-weilding. Not specificaly, but I'm sure it has something to do with spawning another instance of the UI, one primarily for weapons, then disable the grenades and other functions. It takes extremely good knowlage of assembly and HEX to do it correctly, but it...

Actually, a .map file is a C++ inline file. It means that the section gets pasted into the Halo application. Bungie probably encrypted the map file further so that there is barely any native C++ code inside. Most of it is scripting. Plus, machine code auto changes any variables into var1 and var2 an...

Err, I hate to tell you this, but it is actually proven impossible to make custom cutscenes in Halo without direct access to a map template. It is because Each camera movement in SP is controlled by several hundred nodes. There is a node for every time a camera is changed. When the camera reaches a ...

If it can be done in Halo xbox, it can be done in Halo PC. I guess you could kinda copy and paste the HEX on the gun into the keyboard HEX. Back up your map.... I'm not guarenteeing it'll work.

How did visual basic beta ruin your comp? Are you sure you had enough space? I have Visual Studio .NET 2003 with Direct-X and OpenGL extensions running on an old cube computer with one 19.1 harddrive with 1.82 GB free. Also, your not supposed to use Basic language for games, it doesn't offer much fe...

One more thing, do YOU know how to program? Because it is SO freakin hard. It is not just about your ability to program, but you logical solutions. Like first, start thinking how you would define a player (master chief) instance. I've tried it and so far I have about 50 different declarations. Not t...

Fake it? Well, duh. There is no way to do dual weilding in Halo without the source code. And bungie gonna give that out in maybe 10 years, after Halo 4 or so, because it will be so old. Most noobs think that "Oh, I'll just hex it and pawn everyone when they see my awsome Halo 1 dual weilding mo...

or, if you want the supposed "best in the buisness" Get the Visual C++ Express betas. Get one while it still exists. Bungie used the profesional version though.

Hey, I got a question. Why WASN'T there hiding in darkness in Halo 2? From the programming perspective, I don't think it could have taken more than a week to implement. Simply set a "darkness" value in shadows, then restrict AI from noticing Entities within those areas. Then, you could hid...

dude, goto www.gamedev.net it is, like, the best game development site there ever was.

You know what would pawn.... if you released a sequel that was an exact (well, close enough) replica of the E3 demo level. Then, if you figured out how to do AI scripts, you could replicate the E3 demo. OR, simply make spawn point near deactivated bipeds, enable the bumping thing for, like, 20 sec s...

I wish to export a funtion that I have no idea what its ID is. It is in the DLL but I have no idea what its name is and such.

Some of you know that the .def file is used to export function from dlls to because you don't know the memory adress of a funtion in a dll. Now, is there a way to export funtions from dlls if you don't know the funtion name? Say you have a dll. You don't have the source, and you have no idea what th...

To me, VB is complicated. I just like C++ because of its straight "cut through the crap" method. MM = Memory Management, might not seem important now, but when your talking about a thousand elites that have to appear at different times in a game, fully rendered with complex lighting.... yo...

Hey, a cool scenery could be Darth Vadar and Luke Skywalker locked in saber duel (though not moving). I don't understand how you plan on making the millenium falcon drivable without a seat. It might be cooler to make it below the star destroyer, locked by the traction beam. So only the turrets will ...

A tag converter? And what do you mean, "not released yet"? Who has the tags? I doubt Bungie waited this long to give them out.

Hey, you think that if you have a sratched up CD (but the code still visible) will they send you the replacement if you have CD key and the CD code?

And can you do it by email instead of calling?

Hey, if you are making an RPG, or any kind of game, you shouldn't use basic. It is a rather old language that is limited and empty. Games will run but-slow in it. C++ has classes, buffers, OOP, MM, and APIs like OpenGL (which was used for the PreHalo version of Halo when originally planned for Mac) ...
