HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

I rebuilt Blood Gulch in Halo Trial with added pelicans and I put the pelicans in the air as scenery, like in FTW. Using this map, I can join lobby games and it will work fine, but when I create Internet games nobody can join my game. They join and then they quit; I think Halo crashes on them. Does anybody know why it won't work? It worked in Halo Full with FTW; is there a reason it doesn't work in Trial?

It's probably your router's ports

for halo trial other people need to have the rebuilt map, other wise...

EXCEPTION DATA...

People can join my games when I don't have that rebuilt map in.

No, I've rebuilt maps and people can still join my games.

it depends on what you rebuild it with. Some things will be okay, but if you're map tells someone to load a tag they dont have (such as something like....rebuilding with a damage tag for example, and reassigning it to an existing weapon) then they'll except out of the map.


Not sure exactly how Pepsi made his mod server friendly. Good luck.

Pepsi made his mod server friendly by nulling out damage tags

shouldnt the scenario telling the client to load a pelican cause them to have an exception though?

No, To the server thats just an extra tag. Think about it. The game has no use for that tag. Now if there was a script saying spawn pelican and the joiner didnt have the map...exception.

Then how do I make it work in Trial?

Have you actually tested with a friend to see if it actually exceptions?

Yes, I just did.
