HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

You know how when you look at an enemy, and it displays their name over their head? Is there anyway to make it so it always show's their names?

And please don't start flaming me for trying to cheat or trying to help some one that cheats, I just want to know how it's done. I don't play on live and I haven't in just under a year now and I only play on XBC Halo 2 Mods.

Thanks,

Well, I don't knw how to do it. But I know when you die and you're in 'Chase Cam' mode, you can see everyones names above their head. Idk.

Ehhhh Thats a good question and I am sure that if I were to look at it I would figure it out for you but I have no tools with me when I am on vacation =P.

Sorry

thanks for the replies guys, and it does seem like it would be really easy to do. if some one can maybe point me in the right direction or anything it'd be greatly appreciated.

maybe it could be done with scripting. But other then that i'm not sure. I wouldn't know how to go about that one

Scripting has a limit and only some things can be accomplished. But this I am positive can't be done with scripts. Otherwise there would have to be the script's reflexives in all the Multiplayer Maps which there isn't.

Doom WHYYY must you be on vacation nowwww lol ANY ideas as to how i might go about this?

Much better reading =]

Well having scripts are better then nothing having no scripts. It opens up a lot of options for the modding community.

Edit: and about the main reason of this topic, the name popup thing is located in the game engine within the Default.xbe, so good luck with trying to edit the engine.

-Doom

so are you saying it can't be done?

if it's in the xbe. it can, but only for you and it would be extremly hard since i don't think anybody really no's how to edit it. If you would to i think you would have to open it up in hex and look at stuff, lol good luck

blahhhh of course ill try, and i've used a hex editor before, i jsut have no idea where to look

anyone have any ideas?

that's the thing, no one no's where to look. I suggest forgeting this one since it's not that big of a deal.

Look in the engine... if you can find it .

-Doom

wellll what about this

if we find where the Death Cam is in the engine (if it's even there, idk), then we should be able to see where it makes everyones name hover over their heads...

i still think it's to hard and not a big thing to tackle but, even though this has nothing to do with it, is my sig to big?

your sig's fine homie.

this seems like such a simpleee thing seeing as though its TECHNICALLY already there because of dev cam.

because of the SLIGHT auto aim in the game already, when you look at or near some one their name pops up, well what if i did like... a 360 degree auto aim but just for that purpose only? is THAT possible?

The limits are 500x120.
