Mac, it'd help if you posted what in game settings you have. You can use one of the -use?? commands in shortcut as suggested by kaptainkommie or you can experiment with ingame settings, such as turning off shadows--a lag creator on most cards.

Cairfull wut video card you get.

Some of them are made in a way that tricks the computer into thinking its a 256 MB when it could just be a 128MB.

Post by EvilPickels »

I searched, I tried, I looked for stickys but still no tutorial.

I am trying to mod a map so I have no ugly weapons or HUD on my screen so I can get a screenshot of something, but I tried a tut and it makes little sense and didn't work.

Can someone HELP?

Link to tut i tried:

http://www.halomods.com/forums/viewtopi ... ht=unarmed

I just want to get rid of the HUD and guns or atleast make the guns invisible or something-hey wait, hmmm I'm going to try something...

Anyway post if ou ca help and if you do post a tut mput in every last detail I'm a total noob.

I don't use HHT, so I don't know if it would work, but try nulling out the fp models for guns and then nulling out all the hud items and weapon hud interfaces.

I don't know what I mean by nulling, I've never used HHT. But I hear that a lot when people want something to not exist. Just null it out. I assume there's just a big null button in HHT. Maybe it just sets it all to 0s. So if you really don't want to use HHT, maybe you can extract the meta for all 26 or 27 of those and go in a hex editor and make them all 0s. I have no idea if that would work though. Or you could open up their xmls and change all the bitmap references to blank lines (maybe even just delete that section of the x xml) and rebuild.

Swap a weapon with the gravity rifle, then pick it up. I -think- that gets rid of everything.

OK, well you could do the grav rifle thing,
or
you could do what dan!! sed.

Nulling Out basically means you replace whatever with Nothing.
This is easiest in HHT, (if you dont have it, get it, its very powerful :p)
To null something out:
Open Map In HHT
(for you,) Find [weap] tag and expand
select a weapon
Select [Wphi] from the dependencies list.
at the bottom, change to nulled Out, and press save

Now, ingame. Pick up the weapon, and it has no HUD

To null out the FP model:
select the weapon
Select the 2nd [Mod2] from the dependencies list.
change to nulled Out, and press save

ya, get the grav rifle or use the -console -devmode function to load an external camera... tho i think this works only in ce... but try it in halo too...

null means = zero (0)

devmode only works in CE, i tried PC.
maybe someone will find a way to make it work :?

plus, devmode only lets you play on LAN, which is no good if u want a collection of ppl and u only have 1 comp (like me :p)
