This is pretty awesome. It's been years since a new app has come out, nice job!

Just in case nobody gets confused, this program will stay here until it's out of a beta phase...whenever it's at a stage where the authors want to move it to Utilities, just PM me and I'll be glad to.

/update.

Yeah Khas, this is probably the most stable release we'll have for awhile so feel free to utilities this once everyone has a look. The next ones are gonna be a lot tougher and take longer to implement.

Probably because their formatted to stay on top of your screen when you have the app selected. Their location is a problem that I didn't expect since at my disp resolution (1440 x 900) OSX somehow corrects them to be lower. That's going to be fixed in the next release (which is still a longways off) Luckily, there is apple-d and apple-e to hide those windows (or the window menu in toolbar). I posted weap flag references at halodev

I haven't had a chance to play with this program, but looking at the screenshots, it's getting to be nearly equal...having the dependency swapper and everything integrated into one program is definitely better, though.

Hey, dude. Nice, NICE, job... but one thing. Whenever I mod a map with it and use it, Halo crashes. For instance, I swapped the dependancies of weapons\sniper rifle\sniper bullet with vehicles\scorpion\tank shell and I start Halo up with the modded map in the Maps folder. Then, when I left click(fire) Halo freezes and then crashes. I have a Mac, but It still works. SOOO.... Help plz!

I was unable to duplicate the problem you experienced.
Possible reasons include: you did not quit Eschaton before loading the map, you did not swap a proj tag for a proj tag, you were modifying something that wasn't a weap tag. If none of these were the reason, or you continue to have problems, please PM and we'll be able to work it out from there.

Hey, I figured out the problem! I forget what, but I figured it out, LOL! So, I was wondering, how do you change the speed (velocity) of a weapon? And/or how do you change the accuracy (spread) of a weapon? Thanks, and again, good job with Eschaton 0.3!

Altimit01 · Post by **Altimit01** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 10:25 pm

Glad to hear you fixed it. I'll answer your questions here, but I highly recommend posting future help/how-to questions at http://forums.halodev.org/index.php?showforum=16.

Projectile speed is handled by selecting the projectile tag, main reflexive, and the float tags "Initial speed" and "Final speed"

Projectile spread is handled under weap, projectile reflexive, float: "minimum spread" and "maximum spread"

Thanks again dude! Eschaton is a universal moddin application and I am using it for everthing I couldn't do with HMT 0.75... LOL! Now I can get into serious modding... infact, I've just made an almost exact replica of the Sniper's Dream Team Mod (not exact cuz I made it with infinite ammo).

Sooo.... I am now accepting modding requests people! Thanks again man, and continue working on different versions of Eschaton. I believe this will be the best Mac modding program EVER made. Keep updating it and it will have this potential! Good luck!

Well I'm considering this and need input on it because im not sure how it would be most usefull. Ok heres the idea a in app shader editor that edits the shaders color but im not sure how I should do it should it be 3 sliders that change the shaders rgb or some othere way give me some input.

That concept would work EXTREMELY well for any plugin that has RGB values in it...like mgs2. Maybe have the three sliders for Red, Green, and Blue, and then a little box that previews the color.

Or like this.

_Label_ _Textbox_ _Textbox_ _Textbox_ Small color preview dialog

and when you click the color preview dialog, a color choosing dialog comes up with all the custom colors and it will update the textboxes.

Or.. Sliders >_>

Yeah...selectcolor function ftw. That will most likely be the final solution. :/
Any other suggestions for interface options?

shadowkhas · Post by **shadowkhas** » Mon Feb 26, 2007 2:31 pm

I think this program is coming along extremely well...as long as you have these kinds of innovations and UI, and have every feature possible in one program, I'll be jealous.
