HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Posted: May 11, 2008 10:22 PM Msg. 1 of 0
Hello, I have been doing simple modding to Halo on Xbox and PC for about 2 years. I have started to mod it again and I cannot figure out how to sucessfuly create a HMT plugin.
What I am looking for is the abilitly to modify in the biped tag:

fegin death threshold
fegin death time
fegin death chance
fegin death repeat chance
and spawned actor count

The one thing I cannot get is the offset for them, I cannot seem to figure out how. I have read that thread on how to create Hmt/Hht tag plugins but that diddn't help and I have also read the tuttorial on the Plugin Creator app. Could someone tell me specificly how to get the offsets for thos and/or give me them? Thank you for taking the time to read this.

what a HMT plugin basically is, is an XML file that will list things in the Halo map file, you need to know what is in the map file, you would do that by using Guerilla.

I think he knows that, he just needs help finding the offset.

Yep, I need help finding the offset.


EDIT: I have all of the tools Guerilla, HMT (Obviously), a hex editor, ect...
Anyone know how to that can explain it to me?

THeres a tutorials in the tutorials section. I think what you do is check it, then save and compare the original to the checked one in a hex editor.

The problem with that is im doing a float (where u type in a value).
Could I do the same thing as checks?

No clue, but I bet there was some stupid obvious answer to it. Wait for someone like conure or altmit to reply.

Ok then, waiting for their response. I hope they do respond, this would help me a lot and teach me a bit of hex aswell.

1. they are not on often
and the last I heard was:
2. conure might not be on for a while since his HD died
3. Alt might not be on because school has taken over his life

Ok then, hopefully someone else knows how to do this and will tell me.

From what ive been told hes now got a computer to use.

maybe he has, the last I heard from him he said his HD died so he has abandoned Anvil and Darwin. and is now working on a new project.

Make sure you spell it "feign" when you release the plugin.

Lol, ok.

EDIT: I will release it once I get help. (If someone helps me.)

Right now Im typeing in random offsets hoping to get lucky, I figured out one where I can set the height of the biped from the ground (Includes Vehicles too). Its funny when things die and I change the height, if "Uses Limp Body Physics" is checked, the body will look like its hanging off nothing.
