I have been gone for a quite a while, mainly because my old computer couldn't run Halo without getting at least 10 errors. However, (you guessed it) I now have a new PC, and it can actually run Halo... good!
So now I'm back here, looking to mod once more. I used to use HHT and HMT, but now I want to try something a bit more advanced.
I don't exactly know where to start asking this question, but I think it'll go something like this:
How do I put my programming skill into modding Halo?
That is a little broad, so I'll be a little more specific. I am fluent in programming a number of programs, including Java, some C++, DM, and even the prehistoric compiler, QBasic. I want to be able to put this knowledge to use to design scripts, programs, and cool mods for Halo. The only problem, I have no idea where to start. So, here goes a string of a few questions:
Where do I find the files to modify? If I write a script, where do I implement it? What programming language is used to write these scripts, and with what perameters?
Let me elaborate on the last question there: where do I find the variables and classes and such to put in my code? I'm almost positive I'll need some sort of Hex editor, and I have worked my way around a hex editor before, but only to a small extent.
I realize this is a lot to ask, but I'm wondering the answers to the questions in an attempt to hopefully contribute something here in the new feature.
I am also not necessarily looking for straight-foward answers to these questions. Maybe just some loose explanations or even links to tutorials. I am not new to modding in general, just this department (which is quite ironic, because this is where I had origianlly thought I would spend most of my time when I first joined, but this is actually my first post in this section
) Thanks for your consideration
