HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Alright here's version 1.5 of H-Name.
Recap:
This program allows you to change weapon names, territory names, respawn time messages, etc. Hopefully replacing hex-editing eventually. Porvided you have a plugin you can edit practically anything readeable as text. Some plugins I slacked off on and just made it so you could edit territory names, but you can easily create new plugins for it, check the C:\Program Files\H-Name\ folder. Some plugins I took some time on though I'm working really hard on supporting infinite lines in the plugin because it only supports a sad 11 textboxes right now
Fixed many things, mostly being that there is no minimum length for the descriptions, and textboxes only appear if the plugin goes that far.
Also, this program now supports old maps as well as mainmenu.map and shared.map. More improvements to come in the future.
--------------------------------
Added things:
Default plugin write/deleter (Thanks to Unilat)
Simple plugin editor
Automatic Program Files directory detection (fixes different drive/preffered folder problem)
Different plugin format
Plugin labels can be 30 max length now
Some other minor stuff...

This will probably be my last release as this was never intended to be a full fledged program solely a test one although I published my progress.
Any feedback on this program is appreciated.

sounds like it wil be a lot easier than looking through the map in hex to find the names/messages

good work

Good Job, thankyou very much.

pointless Lee! absolutly pointless, except for the scroll bar. To bad im too lazy to remake plugins now that it can have more!

btw, i made plugins for every map but my hd stopped working before i released them.

Anyone know which version(s) of Halo this will work on?

H-Name's main use is for Halo 2 for the Xbox. You can rename Halo 1 maps to the names of Halo 2 maps and change some plugins around to make it work, but it's main use is for Halo 2.

um im gonna sound dumb but does this work for Halo1 for


pc???!?!



WAIT nvm...

wanderer has made a new version that is glitchy, so he is fixing it before his next and probubly final release. Inflamedjman and me are making plugins for the maps right now. We are gonna finish all the plugins befor we release it, it is gonna have many text boxes for each map so this program will actually be useful.
Some inprovments will be you will notice in the new version apon release are:

*new plugin format
*supports up to 60 text boxes
*scroll bar
* hex workshop bookmarks can be converted into plugins with a newly added plugin converter. (so it is very easy to make plugins now)
*other stuff wanderer will make when he posts it

dude thanks a lot, i hate hex editing, pain in the ass

If you learned a little bit about map structure.. You wouldn't need these "plugins". You could just read the map and load the unicode tables.

I would be glad to help but you could make it so the plugins can change almost anything and that you make sure to note at the start of your topic to change the hex before doing stuff to map. Nice proggy im willing to make plugins

thanks, we need help, i'll talk 2 lee to see if he wants 2 give you his newest unreleased version.

PyroBlizzard you can contact me hopefully anytime through any of my instant messengers, email ([email protected]), or XBL (TheWandererLee)

Realize that I started this program as a learning program like 5 days after I got Visual Basic, also this program was intended to let users edit strings based on a customized selection. Doing this was much easier at the time for me than finding the Unicode String Table etc.

-It's not nice to pick on people "slower" than yourself...

Figuring out the tables is probably much less work than hand writing plugins for each map.. that are only usable if the tables haven't been moved. Especially considering that there are resources detailing them.

I didn't know making a suggestion was "picking on" someone.. I'll try not to help you from now on.

It said your recipent list was full when i tried to send you a friend invite send me one instead. GT:Pyro Blizzard

That would be the sweetest

Lol just playin, I appreciate any constructive criticism, and yeah it is alot less work now for me, although I am still a below average programmer, I do thank you for you help in any case, as some things in that link showed me a few things I didn't know about the Unicode String Table.

also that was just a random quote that minimally applied to the situation at the time. I was gonna just put 'I want to eat your face' at the bottom, but it didn't seem appropriate at the time. Now it does though...

I want to eat your face Aequitas
