Yelo Beta Program

[T Beezie]

Well man, I apolagize for not being more active in the development of this awesome project. But, I actually gave up after various builds gave me the same results, freezing at the main menu.

First, I deleted my old Yelo files from my XBox so there would be no confusion which was which. Then I put the "YeloConfig.inc" and "YeloResource.rsrc" files in my "E:\TDATA|4d530064\" , then I put the "YeloLauncher.etm" in my trainers folder. I loaded the trainer using the Xored Mini Launcher and also tried loading it with Evo-X.

I just noticed that you posted a newer build, so I figured what the heck, I'll give it another shot. But, sadly, I get the same outcome.
A few seconds after the main menu screen loads, my XBox just locks up. From reading previous posts, I see that I am not the only one having this problem. So, I guess I'll just keep my fingers crossed, and hope that you find what could be causing this problem. I just re-installed the original version of Yelo back on my XBox, and, it works perfectly. So, I really don't know what could be causing the freezing.

-SPECS-
-XBox ver. 1.1/1.2 <-(That part sounds strange to me, but, that's what it says it is)
-NTSC
-No Auto Update on my box (never has been)
-Stock 9 gig HDD (mech assualt softmodded)
-Ltools ver. 1.8
-Xored Mini Launcher ver. 2.2
-using EvoX (build 3935) and XBMC

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Well, my friend was disappointed to see teleport dissappear in this build, but everything else is awesome. That time limit is getting old, but I guess its worth it. Everything seems to be great, and I absolutely adore the new handeling of the devcam. The erase AI feature is a blast in single player and some of these new features are awesome. The camera coordinates feature seemed kind of pointless to me, but I'm sure others would like it. The auto-win is a riot, but I can't help but think what would happen if used in MatchMaking on XBL. From what I've seen so far, everything is amazing. I will continue to test over syslink and try to find any errors, but from what I have seen so far, this is the best thing I ever made for Halo 2. I can't wait to see the final. Keep up the awesome work.

Thanks but keep in mind that this is an extremely early beta build...there are lots of other planned features and what you see now is just the beginning The timer was introduced just for that purpose...when I gain your trust perhapse it will be increased or eliminated completely

And for those experiencing problems with the mainmenu freezing, I'm trying the best I can to figure out why but you have to understand how difficult it is to debug something you don't experience yourself

Hmm, I better keep testing to get rid of that pesky timer. I have hovever ran into an annoying bug on syslink. When killed in syslink off and possibly on host in 3rd person, you respawn with the camera positioned slightly lower. Its not that big of a bug, but it does get annoying after a while.

I have just set up a room on xlink in mods and hacks to test it with people who are also using the trainer. Lets get some people in there and see what happens.

EDIT: When starting Halo 2 up after testing it for a while, it now locks up after the loading screen... It worked before, but not now.

After messing around with it, it has now worked for me. Beezie, I suggest you try this as I seemed to have the same problem as you. I started it the first time with nothing plugged into my xbox except for power, AV, and 2 controllers. I had no ethernet cable plugged into it when I turned it on. I later plugged my ethernet cable in while in game to test on syslink. Once the 20 minute timer ran up, I proceeded to run the trainer with the ethernet cable plugged into the xbox, which is when it froze. Once unplugging it and running the trainer, it worked fine. I am not sure if that is the cause of the problem(or if it even could be, and it was just a coincidence), but its worth a try. I hope you get it working Beezie, because it would be sad to miss out on this if you have a chance to test it.

I'm almost positive i've found the freezing problem. It is not ethernet cables, but a much more dangerous xbox pheriphel. The microphone. Every time I start up Halo with it plugged in, the game freezes. If I'm in any game and plug it into my controller and press anything on it, the game freezes. Disregard my last idea because it has been put to rest. I am almost sure that this is the problem.

Darn i was to late Oh well Hopefluy i Can beta the next build!

Awesome I'm stumped as to why that would be the problem but I really appreciate this kind of input. For now, I guess just don't use the microphone until I find mine and look for a fix

And dootuz, you were added to the beta list after I released so you'll be able to test next round

[Punk Rock0905]

I was wondering for the next build, if you could make the devcam get your settings, like inverted or non inverted. I for one prefer inverted, but the devcam is non inverted. Just my little suggestion.

Also I played a bunch of xlink with this earlier with no issues whatsoever, although I don't have an xbox 1 mic so I can't test whether that is causing the issue or not.

[halo0001]

hmm seems that the pics wont show up in uber screen ? why is that

[destroyer69]

Well, I've begun keeping a log of all bugs that I find. here is what I have so far...

Bugs
- When killed in syslink off and possibly on host in 3rd person, you respawn with the camera positioned slightly lower.
- When killed in syslink off and on host in 3rd person while jumping or falling, the camera does not continue to follow you, it sits in mid air(possibly because biped is terminated?)
- Microphone=Freeze
- Savestates offhost on and off host can cause freezing is used.
- Occasional 3rd person off host freezing(rarely and for no apparent reason)
- Invisibility does not appear to others on or off host.

Xbox7887 What would MPstats.stat be about?

It has information about my games, but from earlier, when I didn't have the Yelo files on.

Are you watching me be nekked!?!?!?! o.O

[Dootuz]

And dootuz, you were added to the beta list after I released so you'll be able to test next round

Yay thanks Xbox! Can't wait

[T Beezie]

- Microphone=Freeze

OMFG!!!
It was the mic the whole time! O_O
Thank you destroyer69, you are the man!
<3
xbox7887, you should give this man a cookie so big he could eat for months, lol. But, seriously, that really was it, it works perfectly now. Except, for when it reset my box 20 mins. later, I forgot it was gonna do that, and it scared the holy **** out of me. LOL.

But, yeah, it works great now, I don't have much time to test tonight. But hopefully, I can find time to get away from the whole Easter thing this weekend, and really give it a workout. I don't want to give any feedback until I have really had a chance to play with it.

Once again, nice work finding that bug destroyer69, you really saved me, and I think alot of other people will be happy to hear what you have found as well.

BTW, I did try the new Dev-Cam for a moment, and WOW!!! O_O
It seems to move much smoother than before, I like it. I can't wait to play with this thing some more.

[destroyer69]

Glad to help everyone. As for you mike, get on it.

Edit: Ooh, a new bug. Freeze time offhost=Sliding bipeds. Wahoo!(I happen to like sliding bipeds)

Mike, I'll say it because I know how much you want to hear it. No, there are no more sliding bipeds while in devcam as host or as client. But, there are sliding bipeds while you freeze time.

What is Auto-Win? Also, where is The Teleport controls? Is it gonna be in this Trainer on the final release?

Will most, if not all of the old options from the first Yelo be included with this new Trainer?

Like I said before, and I just want to say these are opinions that I would LOVE to see with the final release, probably along with hundreds of others.

Anyways, I think that the Vehicle cam should be fixed so that it is normal when driving, also if the lag from zooming in can go away also, and my last for now is I play with Inverted controls same with lots of people and when I am playing and I use the Dev Cam it's normal stick, is there a way to make the cam controls the same as your players preferences are?

I like to use this Trainer for play, not just for taking pics, I love to just play with the Trainer and have all the fun in the world, so I hope you can get this stuff fixed, because it would be AMAZING!

Thanks for taking the time to read this! I hope you can figure this stuff out!

With your brain I'm sure you can if you try your best! =]

The auto-win is a riot, but I can't help but think what would happen if used in MatchMaking on XBL.

Trainers can't be used on xbl - to use a trainer would require you to be able to boot homebrew code (the launcher), and that would require you to have a modified BIOS online, which Microsoft has put checks against ever since shortly after Xbox Live came online.

[xbox7887]

To answer some of your questions...yes there will be something to detect inverted preferences...I can assure you that yelo only records mp stats while yelo is enabled (more on this to come later )...since there seem to be a lot of problems with syslinking certain commands, I may just have to disable them while in syslink. I'd like feedback as to whether that would be better than just letting them be, for instance, the timefreeze with sliding bipeds. For everyone complaining about the 3p view getting reset or any other weird camera things...just go back into 3p or 1p to reset the views for now until I actually go in and properly do everything ;p As for the pictures not working with ust, I'll have to take a look at that...there were a LOT of source changes in the past few days and I just didn't get around to retesting to make sure that everything worked like it did before. If you don't like the deceleration on the devcam, it will be customizable eventually through the config so you can just turn it off...vehicle cam fixing should be implemented soon but I'm not promising anything as there are other things with priority over that...

Sorry for the rant but it's early and I'm a bit pressed for time I believe I answered most of your questions but if you have any more feel free to ask

[destroyer69]

Stat recording eh?...Sounds interesting

[kibito87]

I was going to ask about that too... I will get on this ASAP, especially since I provided no help last time you asked. I shall not fail you!

[DHalo]

Sry, I've been away for the last 24 hrs. I'll get to testing in a little bit; see if I can find anything new.

[xbox7887]

Funny how 28 people have downloaded yet I only have 26 testers...next time I can assure you the penalties of using a trainer not built for you will be much more malicious than simply turning off your xbox. You have been warned

[Geo]

That's 28 downloads, not necessarily 28 people.
