Halo for mac scripts

jonbetter · Post by **jonbetter** » Tue Dec 16, 2003 1:33 pm

does anyone here know if the maps in halo for mac use the same offsets as PC?

If so, would someone like to colab on a applescript set or possibly and XCode app that can automatically input offsets into the map files?

because this will be the first of its kind for mac, and would bring TONS of traffic to whatever site that you are supposed to download it from.

well if noones goingg to reply to that, then could someone help me with this:

how can I find what the .PPFs acually offset.
like, which hex values to edit, so I can port the mods to mac.
or if anyone has already made a ppf applyer for mac yet.

what .ppf r u talking about, maby i can help

Question = why use MAC?

im just talking about general PPFs.
from the simpler make vehicles fly 2kb ones to the total conversion 3 mb ones.
or maybe...
I could just use other peoples modded maps, if people choose to distribute them that way... like the 2 betrayels mod.

and the why use macs question...
Im not going to get into this discussion right now, but if YOU do, then go to http://www.spymac.com , and post in any forums that macs can lick ur balls, and then ull get a few hundred responses (btw, that isn't my reason).

lets not get aead of ourselves, in my opinion macs are just as good as pc's just in different ways, i think macs are better for video/graphics editing and pc's better for gaming, just my opinion, and you shouldn't flame people for there choice of computers

btw, does anyone have a saved game, so I can skip right to two betrayels to use that nifty mod?

thank you!
could someone, by any chance, put boll's WOF mod into blood gulch for me and upload the map.
Thanks!

Or could you tell me why my halo crashes? i went to the pistol bullet offset, then looked at the value, and replaced it with the value of the rocket launcher projectile value, saved and exited. then went into halo, started a lan game on BG, and BOOM! it crashes.

lets try, go ahead. mr. mac, why are PCs superior?
(and dont just say more games. we already know that it has more games and applications, and its easier to find pirated stuff.

Did you guys ever exchange a map file? If so did it work?!

i tried grunt gulch on a cracked version, and it didn't work.

I remember when Halo was supposed to bring big-name gaming to the Mac
