xBridge (not real, sorry)

Ok, so this wasn't my idea, but someone over on the users forum was going to make his own Xbox System Link Tunneler, so I went and made a UI. What I have is an empty shell program that does absolutely nothing but just looks good. So far it has a taskbar thingy and a layout that displays servers and a chat system.

Now if anyone happens to have the source to an Xbox S/L tunneler program and wants to help this guy (who I do believe was banned today for posting a link to the original terminal map file), let me know and maybe post over at the user forum in the topic (it's under H2 modding general)

(btw, the 'm' next to xbridge means it's a mock up)

Let me know what you think.

Sarcasm, mb?

Well, if anyone happens to know anything about making a tunneler, let me know. Supposedly the JBiz guy that had the idea originally has the source code to an Xbox tunneller...

THere's a big enough Kai/XBC split, why make it 3 way?

It could be a bit flashier I guess, but I really like it.

I know it probably won't happen, but it would be neat to have a mod-search function built in, maybe just a keyword filter, but still it would be nice to say "search and play"

Because Kai and XBC weren't made for the mods, they don't have built in functions for them, especially not for Halo. Not to mention, we wanted a ranking system, which can easily be done by examining the packets sent by the Xbox (or recieved from the Host) for the score of each player. It would take a little bit of work to find out where that information is, but it can be done.

A new, less crowded sort of XBC/KAI just for mods would actually be pretty good, i would say.

Actually, Kai and XBC both have special sections for:
-Mimesis (<3)
-H2 Mods
-H2CE

This would be an ok Idea but what DWells said was correct there is already in-built arenas for modding on XBC ( I wouldn't know about Kai, I couldn't get it working I think my Network settings were off). Oh and sorry for going off-topic but shouldn't your sig say Mimesis v3 now Dwells?
