[mod] halo dx release (fixed download link)

I figured out why it won't work for some people. IGNORE THE PART IN THE README WHERE YOU RENAME HALO.EXE TO HALO DX.EXE. DON'T RENAME THE APPLICATION.

That is all. What I did was made a shortcut to it and renamed that "halo dx," to pin to my start menu. You should never rename the exe itself. My bad.

..................................................
AMT's Last mod. ==Halo dx== (special installation instructions in the readme)

Here's the deal. We all got bored with modding and moved on to other things. We spent over a year and a half working on this mod. I want to release this so maybe it wasn't all a waste.

The idea was to make a really good, full campaign mod for halo pc/mac. If we continued, we would have had all new weapons and vehicles. We had things like spikers made, which never got finished. I think you will really enjoy this mod regardless, as it was also an attempt to beautify the game. There are thousands (not exaggerating) of graphical improvements, in the form of bitmaps, shaders, and redesign. A lot has been left out, but this is what was finished. So enjoy.

There are also many additional changes to the weapons and ai. Crazy things like jackals on the pillar of autumn and elites on guilty spark. Even on unmodded maps, you will notice the differences.

For the record, I know there will be some criticism saying that we just copied CMT. Well we didn't. This mod began long before cmt sp v1. So don't even start. (Admittedly, a50 was a little CMT inspired :-) ) (but not originally)

If you intend to use anything from this mod, please ask permission. I probably won't mind. My sn is jimsdad4pres07, on aim.

The team-
Elektrifried- Project Lead, Modeler, Skinner, Env. Editer
o90x42424- Lead Skinner, Web Site
Jsk1016- Modeler
MCNut- Forum Guru
Tsuin Taiyou- Modeler, Skinner, HUD. (Mad props for letting us use your warfare stuff. That was fun to beta =) )
Alchemist666- Some earlier work
Pred1ator- Couple of skins

Everything in this mod was made by somebody on the team, except the pistol animations, made by CtrlAltDestroy.
[edit] Big thanks to adolif for the UI patch [edit]

With this, the team says farewell.

Yeah, just so you know, the download is huge. Just the bitmaps ppf is 50 megs, the total file is 160 megs.

But that's still nothing compared to the 3 gig HL2 mod i just downloaded lol.

I like it. The amount of custom bitmaps in this mod is pretty insane.

LOL! I thought he said "done done" Another reason internet shorthand sucks.
