yeah but with HXE 3 you can add tags to maps...don't ask me how though, that program befuddles me

ah hell make it teleporter green, that looks kool enough

actually i'm going to go do that tonight.... but i have to decompress all the elite maps again... BTW they all compress so far

but i havent tested all of them... but the one i have, work great!!!... you know what that means... when the other 5 maps are done I will release a NMP map pak for you guys called "Elite Civil War (ECW)" so keep up the good work and hurry up, I start bak to college in two weeks!

I'm gana have a friend host the pre compressed maps elsewhere so maybe it wont be too much on halomods or make a patch engine... kinda like what came out w/ NMP that made it easy for noobs.... So anyways let me deal w/ the map pack and you guys hurry up w/ thoes mods!!!!

There may be one way of getting elites and spartans into a map, i dont know how to follow through with my idea but i think it is good. Ok well there has to be something that tells halo there are teams cuz when ur on a team it make one team red and the other blue, and they happen to spawn at there own base all of the time too. So instead of the xbox looking for the color red and blue or spwaning the read team or the blue team when u play teams what if in hex somehow u can edit it so that it looks for an elite model and a spartan model. Like almost getting it to think that the spartan model is the color red or on the red team and the elite model is the color blue or on the blue team if u know what im saying. So u could get them to spawn seperately at each base. Then u may be able to get the 2 models of the characters and have sort of a halo 2 thing going on. Like I said i dont know how to carry this out but i thought if i let the idea out there maybe someone can try to do it. You know cuz there has to be somehting in the tags that let halo know which side to spawn the red team and the blue team. So we have to find that and edit it.

BTW, love the elite mods, very nice

WHEN throwing GRANADES WILL BE NORMAL

thats not what we have to wqorry about right now, we need to figure this out first.

well jake, its been tried... if that were the case we'd have diffrent colored teams already in mods... like yellow vs green.... and since that hasent even been discovered i think were gana all have to wait till halo 2... cause i've done extensive search on that aspect of the game already.... w/ no luck at all!!! the closest i've found is its encoded in the xbe to "paint colors" on to white parts of MC bitmap just as the colored enabled elites.... so to actually "change it" you'd have to decompile the xbe.... its one of thoes "hard encoded" things..... trust me, sorry

now if somone had XDK (not open xdk, the real thing) and decompiled it..... well thats a diffrent story

! There would be lots of fun code to play with.... right guys!?!!!

I need the freeking maps so I can release ECW for you guys..... heres an update on how its going...
1) changing NMP colors to covie purple in UI (tons of bmps)
2) I need to find a way to modify menu text... its either solid color or blocky (need help)
3) changed build to 2274 so it is its "own game" and caches itself
4) intigrating into NMP so its cycles Halo -> NMP -> ECW -> and back

If UltraMag reads this I need help on editing the "Halo NMP" text to "Halo ECW" so i can make it the option on the bottom of NMP instead of standard.... thanks! oh and to change NMP to ECW on the title screen as well....
hue color changing has been no prob! theres just alot of it!

Ive finnished longest

longest is not putput. putput is chiron TL34. its that stupid crazy telliporter level.

.......I have finished wizard.

Flying Poo · Post by **Flying Poo** » Sat Aug 21, 2004 6:19 am

darn it!!! ya beat me to it.... Chiron and BG and SW are left right?..... i think so.... i noticed your last 2 patches are a bit bigger than usual... is it cause of the maps? anywho... I forgot i still need to finish up my UI as well as BG and SW... and Chiron.... I love that level... 1) casue noone plays it and if your like me.... ya plug in another controler and memorize levels

so 2) ppl get pissed when your following them and then suddenly pop up behind them when they get lost.

Season 3 of Red vs. Blue starts in Chirion or part of it takes place there anyway

Griff getting lost in Chiron.... now that would be comedy!!!

thinkreddie · Post by **thinkreddie** » Sun Aug 22, 2004 8:10 am

Ive thought it over, and I'll do putput(chiron tl34) if y'all REALLY want me to.

Flying Poo · Post by **Flying Poo** » Mon Aug 23, 2004 11:00 am

yea... cause i'm having alot of probs w/ xinject... either the model and antr mess up or the model is COMPLETLY invisable and the animation trigger works.... I just dont have luck w/ xinject... thats y i've never used it. But yea... I'll finish up the UI sometime soon. I was at the docter today and i have an "upper respatory viral infection" from the long years of allergies.

So I'm in a lil down time

but if i finish it today and test out xinject 3.4 and it works for me.... i may throw in a few easter eggs.... dont give the flood too little credit

with elites.... never... so stop asking

and Xinject 3.4 you can add tags too... just not big ones like the warthog model... it causes the map to freeze
