How come?
There is a destroyed Pelican explosion!
And I saw it in a movie in the downloads section(which isn't here anymore...)
no, that's only well placed explosions and flames.
Um, no...
The Pelican has a special explosion all for itself, go search in HHT.
Also, I say he shot a couple of times on it with a Assault RIfle, and it fell, and exploded.

actor variants are under the tag [actv] in HMT.

I mean, after you extracted the meta for the elite, what do you put in the ADD: part of the rebuild map?

EXECPTION DATA

Post by HALOfish »

I have a problem that is very frustrating to me...
After i have added a new mod or ppf file to halo pc, the same thing always happens to me. When i try to play the game, it minimizes itself and a small screen on my decktop pops up that says SEARCHING FOR EXCEPTION DATA. Anyone know whats going on here, or am i just screwed...

Sorry guys, I haven't had much time lately to keep up with pretty much anything. I went out of town for Spring Break, and I'll probably try and do major updates, I'm thinking maybe once a week. Anywhoo, please try and keep the thread clean, and even if you have no questions for yourself, ask some that might help others. Even answer your own question if you need to :wink: this thread was created to try and help others. See ya! :)
I am not the merry man.

k, people have problems with this, but it is easy.

ppfs.

I use ppf-o-matic, which is easy to use.

you will probably get 3 .ppf files in a mod, for this we will use a bloodgulch mod.

you will have:Bloodgulch.ppf, bitmaps.ppf and sounds.ppf.

You open up ppf-o-matic and click on browse, next to iso file. Find your bloodgulch.map

then, do the same for patch, only bloodgulch.ppf.

do the same for sounds and bitmaps.


for .map files.

Just rename it, eg bloodgulch.map.rebuild.map to bloodgulch.map and copy paste into your map folder.

Hope this helps.

doesn't matter, hex mods are usally .map files, as most experienced modders make ppfs, and don't make hex swapping mods.
