Looks like Hizlo is making his own pack... so there will be no shortage of packs in the next day or two.

I need TSF to get in touch with me on aim. There are some last minute issues with his ui. If anyone sees him tell him to contact me.

Thanks,
AC

I don't get any connections. Is there anyone with the complete file seeding this?

angrycamel · Post by **angrycamel** » Thu Oct 21, 2004 11:08 pm

I am the only seeder right now since it is so early. I currently see two people connected to me getting the file at about 20kBs.... each have about 4% complete so far... so if you are starting, you should see them as well. SO there should be at least three people to start a DL from.

SEEDERS NEEDED: If you are interested in being an early seeder then PM me and I will get you the package so that you can begin to seed it right away.

I have this set on super seed, but it looks like my college has severely cut our bit torrent bandwidth, so PM me if you want to get the full version so you can seed it as well. Thanks.

I installed this with HMPi to my Halo directory with NMP2/CXE already there and the game demos link didn't work.

So to keep a million people from asking the question, no it is not compatible with the NMP2/CXE map packs game demos links daisy chain.

EDIT:

This is what I did to make this map pack work. You need to make a new directory for a new copy of halo. Then install the map pack to that new directory, then rename haloconv.xbe to default.xbe. Then you're good!

Great job to angrycamel and everyone who make the maps. A few things I noticed:

There is a small problem with the pine tree colors in Frozen Canyon. I had fixed these for Martijn, but I think his map had to be converted again so they got unfixed. I think it is a small flaw in the bsp conversion process, because the tree color is also a little off in Betrayal. What happens is the last mipmap get skewed to a brownish color. If it bothers you, just extract the image of the pine tree leaves (DXT2/3) and open it in photoshop without mipmaps. Then save it over itself and say generate mipmaps, and reinject it.

The lightmap is a little off in Rampage. There is the red and yellow checkers in places in the map. If you would want to fix this, first extract the lightmap images and save them as DXT1. Then find the tutorial for switching DXT image types and switch the lightmap image metas to DXT1. Then reinject the images you saved to DXT1, and if you still have the red and yellow checkers you'll need to edit them out in photshop, then reinject.

EDIT:

Ok last edit I promise, thanks angry for clearing this up. The UI isn't set up to work with the other map packs, i.e. you can't follow links within the Halo menu to go from NM2 or CXE to CE Conversions.

However, if you're running EvolutionX, you can set up a Halo folder in your main evox menu that will let you jump straight to any of the map packs. Just putt the following code in your evox.ini under "root".

Section "Halo"
{
Item "Halo","f:\games\Halo\default.xbe"
Item "Halo CXE","f:\games\Halo\halocxe.xbe"
Item "Halo NMP 2.0","f:\games\Halo\halonmp2.xbe"
Item "Halo CE Conversions", "f:\games\Halo\haloconv.xbe"
}

I can't use bittorrent on this computer. Can you put it on edonkey or an ftp site?

}

Funny, I just messed with my .ini today so i could go directly to hnmp and hcxe

underdog, just select all the rar files and extract them to the same place

then click on the HMi (setup) file

That's it

BTW- it's like 450 MB, no email I know of can hold that

angrycamel · Post by **angrycamel** » Fri Oct 22, 2004 12:36 pm

Just double click on the first rar part
and winrar takes care of the rest of it.
