HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Well, I got Halo 2 because I'm a fan of the Halo series, but one of the main reasons was because I wanted to get back into the modding scene. I expected that I would install it, come here, and get a H2MT, or H2HT, or something, then start modding. But there's not one! I went from XP to Vista, deleted 42 gb of incompatible stuff, and reinstalled Vista 3 times to get it to work, all for Halo 2, only to be disappointed by the fact that there's no modding tools, and there's no changes to singleplayer. I may sound like I'm nagging or complaining, but really I'm just disappointed. Is there a program like HMT or HHT in the making, or is there one that's out and just isn't in utilities yet?

Also, I just got back into the scene, and I did look around but I didn't find anything. Please don't flame/ban me for this... I just got back from my two or three year absence.

Sadly, not yet. There's a program that's released that allows you to browse through the files and check their offsets and such so you can go into hex and manually modify the map, but there's no tools out yet that allow you to simply modify the map.

Theres the only program out so far.

Yeah, basically, all you can really do is Hex Edit. If you try to though, make sure you know what you are trying to do. A simple screw up on one byte = corrupt map.

Darn. Oh well, I guess I can wait. I've got some other stuff I can play until they're out.

you always can make a map, just go through the tutorial and its better than hmt type tool.. i honestly dont think a hmt or hht type tool will ever emerge for this game and if it does i hope you cant noob with it and change projectiles or properties of weapons, i think thats homosexual.

What I loved to do in Halo 1 PC was to mod the AI and other little things to make the Campaign more fresh, new, harder and even more fun... Yeah, and those retarded projectile tweaks... But you can't mod the Campaign with the H2EK... So I really want a HMT and HHT Type of tool for Halo 2 Vista too.

There are going to be some in the future, but its going to be at a "use at own risk" type of thing. Basically, don't start a server with dev mode on, ect.

Personally, I found it hilarious when the elites crushed themselves with the scorpion tanks that their plasma rifles shot.

hilarious, but cheap. And with all the rendering in Halo 2, that could equals some serious lag.

im trying to find a programmer or two to make tag editor i have a starter for whoever wants to help but thats besides the point somebody needs to make a editor soon.

...Looks like somebody hasnt visited H2vista....

h2vista.net

Look for their project, they are editing the editor, so it will be better. Search more, youll find some neat stuff

Yeah, the guys there are guys who understand Halo perfectly.

there is a rumor that the guy who made hmt is making a better version for halo 2 vista and kornman might relarse he's tools.


on the bright side over at filefront there is a third person mod but its not by bitter banana

theres a beta of kornman's out.

Thanks for ruining the secret. :fail:

Oh, because of this *secret* May I ask you noobs NOT to make and release maps that have modded weapons, vehicles. Because thats just noobish.

i didnt ruin any secret. its posted plain as day. but i agree.

hey modding scarbs driveable and weapons along with maps is not noobish if you say this then you say that everymod or map is noobish

Not saying that, I meant like making smgs shoot rockets, its fun, but its pointless. I did not say that modding a scarab to be drivable is noobish, but, since its NOT a vehicle, you would have to make the scarab a vehicle. Besides, the tag extractor hasnt been released yet. Good luck finding those scarab tags.

hey kornmans tools r out so like they say if you want to mod wait.

Yes H2VEdit Lite does that v2
