Re: Open Halo Parser: Demo

I'm not sure I understand what you mean be linked maps. I see the same basic stuff where it's just a large collection of data all tied to one map. The only thing that seems like it might be faster is the tag length calculation. Unless you think there's some major speedups to be had in not having cla...

Re: Open Halo Parser: Demo

Not bad. Some good improvements on the basic map loading code. I'd quibble on a few of the variable names picked, particularly the temp variable tag_offsets but it works alright. Not very OO but I'm not sure how important that is to you.

Re: Quick modding question

Requires a script from what I remember. Which if another part of my dusty memory recalls correctly, will not work for demo MP.

Re: swordedit: An Update

Re: chunk cloning. I know some of you guys would disagree with me on this since it's slower but I've found that disassociating tags from the map and recompiling makes it much simpler to work with. As for collab work, as nice as Obj-C is (or not depending on POV) I'm leaning towards C++ and QT to kee...

By the way, nil, modzy, I don't know what your plans are or where you are in life right now but I can say that colleges LOVE kids who teach themselves things to a high proficiency, and I believe especially love kids who can say that they have reverse engineered something. alt is left out... :( Afte...

Re: Projectile Error

If I had to guess, I'd say projectile error is something related to how often the AI misses and target tracking would be related to how fast it tracks (turns towards?) a target. The best way to find out is to play around and see what happens.

Re: Fun Dynamic Modding..Mhmm.

So for those who need a TL;DR
nil made a template and interface for modifying Halo demo memory. You just write a script in python and it gets turned into an app that does said memhacking.

Re: Fun Dynamic Modding..Mhmm.

Different. CE scripting is based on lisp not python. Might take a look at this shiny new toy.

Re: Eschaton- The search

Cute but not Halo Demo enough. Kicked to GD. P.S. Modzo is right, I didn't write the plugins. Any of that silliness is because of whoever wrote the plugins. My shenanigans are in code comments.

Re: I have a favour to ask of some one...

Generally speaking yes. There are always some exceptions. Back in the day we used to do a quick rebuild in HHK that would fix things. I think the biggest problems were with meta swapped maps.

Re: Haaaay Alt!!!

Eh. Don't really know. Not sure what the problem is related to. You could run a test to see if it works with HHK. You could see if the same happens with an unmodded weapon from the original game. Check to again with a weapon from the game but not from that map. Things like that. There might be a qui...

Re: What major operating system version do you use?

i don't even bother with any windows above XP at the moment. tell me when they make them decent. Windows 7. Heard of it? Vista had some pretty bad growing pains but it was still a decent OS (for a non-*nix anyways). It had some problems with promised features getting cut, driver issues and being de...

Re: Bootcamp, running Windows XP or Vista

Im pretty sure it might be a free download for the bootcamp thing. If not, I dont really know what bootcamp is. Isn't it a application that you install and on start up, allows you to boot either windows or mac? My dad has something like that on his laptoppy. It can run multiple systems, but i don't...

Re: What major operating system version do you use?

Assuming you get a decent sample size I'm going to hazard a guess towards the older versions. It seems that most of the people who are active on this site prefer to not have to buy software (see Halo demo vs Halo full). The OS updates can cost a pretty penny and for the most part the older ones run ...
