Noobie DOtHalo Question

Post by hello9 »

Hi all -

I am a newbie at modding, so trying it my first time on my friend's xbox. But when I try to go to the tag editor in dothalo, it gives me a message saying I dont have the plugin. ?

P.S. Running Vista Home Premium 32-bit, and cant install the .NET Framework because it says I dont have permission to start system services. ?

Thx in advance!

You will need to download the latest XML plugins and place them in the "Plugins/Halo2" directory of DotHalo, overwriting the pre-exsiting plugins (if there are any). Also, .NET Framework is built into the Windows Vista operating system, so there is no need to install it. If you didn't have .NET Framework, you wouldn't be able to open DotHalo in the first place. :P Good luck!

Thanks! Ok well, after I put the plugins in the halo2 folder, when I try to open DotHalo, it says "CLR error:80004005. The program will now terminate." Any suggestions?

Have you tried disabling desktop composition by right clicking and entering the properties menu of the .exe? Try that and see if it opens. Also, the other thread you created with a question mark in it is redundant if you asked here.

Why don't you just try using Entity? Click here to download Entity AI v1.3.
