By ripping apart and editing halo's main engine, is it possible to support a much smarter AI and real Ragdoll physics? uhhh, NVM on the AI, i just finished that...

i believe that right now doing that is considered illegal because Bungie has not declared Halo 1 open yet.

oh, i guess the ragdoll will have to wait a few more years i guess. i already did the ai ,i just edited the triggers...

Yea... Illegal now, most likely will be until halo is completely dead. Maybe some sort of project will be started though...
Anywho, this would be pretty sweet if we were allowed to but it doesn't seem like it will happen any time soon.

... if thats the case, a decade or so, heh. it was about 12 years after marathon was released that it was declared open right? i dunno, just an estimate....

Smarter AI and stuff like that can be found in the map files. There's no need to hack to get to it.

Halo already has those false ragdolls, and Havok 4 is now freeware to implant in NON-Commercial work. So it's possible. If you really wanna give it a shot, you should try on haloCE first, it's more mod friendly.

but remember...CE isnt noob friendly...

now i know why you dont mod CE andrew.

LMAO PEPSI!!!!! LMAO. that was a good one dude. haha. good job.

But i do

It would be very difficult. You would have to wait till the game is open. Then you have to do it yourself. Then you have to get other people to get the new and engine and blahbalhablh.

if ragdoll physics were allowed... hmm... then you can... OOH I KNOW!
SHOOT THEM INTO PORNO POSITIONS! jk

Halo will likely become freeware a game at a time. Halo 1 will become freeware when the next Halo game comes out, Halo 2 will become freeware when the next game in the next Halo series comes out, etc.

That's my guess.

Anyway, I can't wait to rip Halo 1 apart and edit the engine. We'll add ragdoll, ACTUAL good AI, and more stuff! =D


Anyway... I call tagging the physics for Halo CE! =P I'll try and find a way to get them into Halo 1, then I'll extract the tags using HEK+. If that doesn't work, I'll resort to tagging them normally. D=

there is no way to expand the abilities of an engine by doing tagging. you actually have to edit the engine itself. doing what you say would be like trying to make a car that can only up to 160 km per hour go 220 by giving it new parts but no new engine.
