HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

i just found out about modding recently and i really want to get into it

but my computer is from like 2000 and its really sad

ive been looking at new computers and i was thinking about the dell xps 410

i was wondering if that would be a good choice for modding halo 2 on


thenks

I think you can allready mod on pc with Win 2000.

Modding does not take much power on a pc at all really...As long as you have the .net framework 1.1 and .net framework 2 installed on your computer and have any kind of graphics card you should be good to go with modding halo2 (the only use of a 3d card is when modelling or using entity's item placement, but best to start off with basics and tutorials first)

Also as a side note, whilst your modding achievements may be huge to you when you first pull off a rapid fire, rocket shooting shotgun which is also dual wieldable, it would be wise not to release it on this site...Not so much because it isn't a fine acheivement, its just that this forum seems to have either a large amount of prestige for good quality, or that 90% of the users here are complete arseholes who will put you down for making a "noob mod", which will very likley discourage you from modding further...So keep your mods to yourself until you make something that will ROCK OUR SOCKS OFF!
and have fun

you dont really need to worry about that with me

ive looked into hacking and modding enough to know not to brag


ill post some mods eventually thow



im really jux doing this to have fun with halo inyway

after i get the .net framework 1 and 2

i would have to get a program like dothalo correcto?

Affirmative, but I would get entity once you move on to more advanced modding.

aights

so dothalo mods maps? or can you design vehicles and weapons too?

Well you can skin the current vehicles and weapons, and you can also inject new models. So essentially yes, but injecting models is probably not the easiest thing to start off doing.

so what would be a good thing to start with


jux like changing skins on stuff?

Yep just read up on anything you find interesting in the tutorial section and mess around. Its the best way to learn.

thanks a bundle

first mod i ever did was with dothalo was make the warthog fly, easy thing to do and its fun but that was a long long long long time ago and i don't use dothalo anymore...... i need to start modding again but i need a bigger hard drive but ya start with dothalo and the self killing ghost is an easy cool mod to play with friends good times......
and dell
SUX!!!!!!!!!!

well i need a new computer

im gonna use it for adobe creative suite programs

and modding


what would be a good computer for that?

well like they any would be good, i only hate dell because of there poor help calls thing(nice name lol can't remember the word) over here in NZ because if they fail you have call up and ask and it goes to china CHINA!
so it will be a good computer
