HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Edits all the colors within the unit hud interface tag, no hex editor!!
just extract the tag, open it with this program, edit it, save it, reinject it.
And if you click the colored boxes, color pickers pop up, just like the one from MS pain-t. tutorial is in the help menu. enjoy!

@ joemammy, I'm just trying to get better at VB, and releasing my stuff along the way
@philly, notice this doesn't do the whole HUD, just the colors stored in the UNHI tag (hence the name). but the old method still works, I you might be able to do the wphi with eschaton

ZOMG THIS PWNS...and if you stick it in...it will work for hours (inside joke )

haha yeah patrick...you are getting pretty good. but like...i totally helped you do this

Patrickh wrote:@philly, notice this doesn't do the whole HUD, just the colors stored in the UNHI tag (hence the name). but the old method still works, I you might be able to do the wphi with eschaton

Indeed. Eschaton 0.5.1 + Conure's Extended Plugins =

yes that is crosshair color

I'm definately liking the UI you've got going on. You get my PM about how to add map reading to it? Good work in any case.

yes everyone check out alts program! and alt i have the offsets so you can make a unhi plugin that does pretty much this... (I fail at the actual plugin writing, so i can just be an offset finding slave) and as for your pm, there is no binarystream in VB, unlike RB, so im having problems working around that, il ask if i need help

@ andrew: lol at you helping me... >_>
and yes it gives out plenty of juice as long as i stick it in really deep and wiggle it around a little

There are seperate WriteBinary and ReadBinarys, but you can't the br.postion = whatever...
some of them (FileStream, BinaryReader, etc.) do some of those functions and some do others, but i haven't found one yet that can do all of them. Would seek work for setting the position?
ex:
instead of br.position = 16, do br.BaseStream.Seek(16, IO.SeekOrigin.Begin)
Im using BinaryWriter for the br, position is not a member of BinaryWriter

@Andrew: so, how did you help? moral support?

no i told you to look in bitmaps and it worked or something. is this not what the tool does?

Seek should work for getting the position from what I understand of the HMT code. Also, there's no reason not to have two streams, one for reading and one for writing. That's fairly common actually. br is the convetional name for reading, bw for writing.

nope
:/
has nothing to do with bitmaps. And conure thought it was a widget... I thought it was an 8-bit color (all the ones in this app are) and you thought it was a bitmap, and were accidentally correct... =P

@alt: good il try it using seek

lol da TUT is on the application but great tool thankz. but i got a problem i extract cyborg and cyborg_mp from unhi and open it and edit the colours. then afterwards reinject it. afterwards only the radar and health is edited and when i press the flashlight (Q) i get a gathering exception data? and also how do i edit the rest like the cross hair and the writin (e.g press f1 for score) and the flag tags (the tag that shows u where the flag is)??

sorry for asking alot lol but ur da best for this utuility

those aren't part of the unhi tag... like i said this doesn't edit the whole HUD just everything stored in the unhi tag... almost everything you named is in the wphi. you can either: edit them all with eschaton, or use my previous app. what you do: hit the halo defaults button. select the first one, check swap endian, then open your map in a hex editor. now make a new color, and tell the hex editor to replace all occurences of the default colors code with the code of your new color. save and your whole HUD should be changed.

Ah ok kool thankz for the help

I used this and RGBCv3 and this is all I came out with. How do I make it all the same color?

hmmm, did you do it the hex editor way? if so, idk how the grenade background didn't change. As for the gametype, that is a bitmap, so go ahead and skin that. Also, the text and icon colors will still be blue, because that data is stored in a float not a color byte, so for that just use the HMT plugins i made, they should be on this page somewhere.
