(Halo 1)HaloConnect 1.1 FINAL - With Server

fallen_angel · Post by **fallen_angel** » Mon Mar 15, 2004 3:27 pm

Finally, I found the time to finish it!

HaloConnect 1.1 FINAL

Now with:
-RAR support
-PPF support
-AdminEmail links
-Totally rewritten GUI
-Totally rewritten download method
-Smaller connect.ini files
-Simpler to set up
-Server sister program created
-Map backup problems fixed
-No weird file corruption complaints from Halo
-PowerPoint presentation with Server to show you how to set it up (AND
its idiot-proof aswell!)
-Added ZING(r) technology

For those of you who dont really know what it is:

HaloConnect allows you to connect to and auto-download mods from a server running modified maps. Whilst many (and i mean many) people have said its a waste of space, i think its a good idea, as its n00b friendly, and much simpler than hunting down an elusive PPF.

It was written in VB6 (yes, i know its n00bish, but i dont care).

And problems/questions, email me:

Thanks pple

wow dude. you said you stopped lol. cool. I will be hosting this in my servers, whenever I find a mod I like to host.

if any one knows of an image query thing, so I can put it in my sigs, to tell you if my server is up, and I can put the mod in it aswell.

Wont be up that often though, because I havent found any good mods lately

when i click on the connect program it says .DDL file,MSVBVM60.DLL is missing. what do i do?

It should have been implemented into Halo in the first place like counterstrike...

Install the visual basic runtime libs. jus search on microsoft.com for them.

if you;re on winXP they should already be installed. i think.

Now Halo is like CounterStrike and Starcraft. Seems like Halo fans will save Halo not Gearbox, or Microsoft.

I love it

, if only host actually used it too... YOu seriously need to give bungie some kind'a idea liek this, they mabie even are working on this witch delayed the HEK... OR MABIE!~ GearBox's recoding the network s**t to put CO-OP IN ! why else would it take so longg......? HMT 3 was made in like 1 month the HEK has already been worked on for like 5 months!

Actually... this is one of the smartest toolz I've yet to see for Halo....

I think when halomods hosts a server ... they should run this program...

!Great idea!

I forgot to post it in the origional post:

Dont forget to install the HaloConnect CLIENT to your Halo folder (same folder as halo.exe, usually c:\program files\microsoft games\halo\)

and if you get strange 'info file corrupt' or script file errors, it means the server is not running a HaloConnect config file. Go email them and tell them to

Proper docs coming when i have time to write them.

Just in case you wondered, I made a flow chart to show how HaloConnect works.

KptKommie should combine this with his HSQT. In that way you can join any server in your server list and just download if its a mod.

*hereby calling KptKommie*

OMG... that is awesome. Amazing...

Boy, all these new mods and programs makes me forget about the long overdue AotCR MP map, tutorial on SP>MP, HMT 3.5, and the HEK...

royale T · Post by **royale T** » Tue Apr 06, 2004 9:38 am

How can I use both the server and client?

fallen_angel · Post by **fallen_angel** » Tue Apr 06, 2004 10:09 am
