Mac Gaming Mods

I've seen Andor's Refresh for the full campaign but he dropped off the face of the Earth around 2 years ago and never released the full thing =(

Does anyone have Refresh for Halo Full and if not, does anyone know of any other Campaign mod that does a complete graphical overhaul of the ENTIRE Campaign from A10 to D40? I'm looking to start up a Halo Anniversary mod for the full game, but square one for me is a new look to the graphics. Can anyone give me some pointers?

ALSO: I need good Halo 3 Covenant Tags, including those for Grunts, Jackals, Elites, and Hunters. Anyone know a good unprotected mod to find those on? The ones I have right now keep crashing the game (perhaps because they can't be run in Halo Full?).

Thanks!

Either those bitmaps are not for Halo Full, or they are corrupted. Either way, they do not work with Halo Full =/ Thanks anyway

Still need help guys!

I'd look into that Halo FTW project, but I'm not sure if it covers campaign.

There is also a skin somewhere called the way it was meant to be played, however it is probably not as much of a overhaul as refresh is.

I'll look into it, thanks! I'm looking for a bitmaps.map file, since I want to start importing tags and not wait around for a good internalized map to work on.

Update: I now am looking for good H3 bipeds to use for the Halo Full campaign. Full details in my updated OP.

Yeah Halo FTW is only for multiplayer and on top of that, none of the MP download links work on their site. I can't find anything about "The Way it Was Meant to Be Played" either. =/

Heres the shit. BITMAPS are not anything specific. Bitmaps are cross compatable between all pc/mac versions. Xbox versions are not compatable as far as I know beacause of 3D images or something that a computer cant handle. If its MP then its compatable with SP. Its also compatable with full or demo. or trial. Or CE.

Maybe it's a problem with my copy then, because any Trial bitmaps.map files I download come up pixelated and corrupted when run in Halo UB.

You have to put it in the same file as a trial bitmaps, or internalize it with trial bitmaps.

I just found a copy of the mac version of Halo FTW 2 up for download My GOD what a gorgeous bitmap set. I just finished internalizing the custom bitmaps for "The Library". It looks JUST LIKE the Halo Anniversary bitmaps and lighting! =D

Between this and the public CMT bitmaps, i'm all set. Thanks for the help guys! =D

No, that's not true. Trial/Demo bitmaps files are not compatible with the Full version. The mod you linked above was a port of mine, from the full version (along with another HUD mod port from the full version combined to it). Port meaning having to export/import every texture yourself (and even then, it may not work as nicely as one may think).

I don't know what you mean I use full bitmaps in demo all the time. The bitmaps.map file is not however, and with swordedit/eschaton grah I lost my train of thought

Hm, okay, I was mainly talking about bitmaps.map files which is what x0v3rKiLx was having trouble with.

But from my experience, not all bitmap changes in Full can be done in the same way as in Demo with the same effect - thus making them not truly compatible. Take for instance, the HUD mod used in my port (the one you linked above) for Demo. The ammo, grenade, items, as far as I can remember are not really aligned correctly. In the original Refresh, Andor didn't even bother try porting those elements since he couldn't get them to work correctly either.

Yeah the HUD is all internal in my maps, all that I did with the FTW Bitmaps was internalize them in the map through Eschaton. Simple 1-step editing really. I just needed help getting the tools for the job if you will
