or use the normal UI. for the normal one they all have the same logo, but they are the different difficulties.

Open your eyes or turn your gamma up some to make up for the darkness. The game play isnt ment to be harder on purpose, this is a example of that.

Heh, this was talked about before. Just simply load the next level via campaign menu and you will be fine.

it is better if you play it on OpenGL. it will give you smoother graphics.

DX 10 is not supported by halo so you won't get a better result.

very nice mods man. although bloodgulch is a bit too dark. so i just only copied the bitmaps file cause pretty much all the skins were from bitmaps.

nope. doing that will mess up a lot of skins. you need all the maps.

"100" to "120"
"120" to "140"

if it isnt bright enough keep going higher. but that should work thoe.

If a level is too dark try that.

Is it possible to configure Halo to play on OpenGL? I'm pretty sure some command can do that, like the ability to run the game in different shader versions. Maybe that can be done for Shader 4.0?

I don't member the command, but it's similiar to the "-devmode" and "-console" stuff.

Does Epic really have any difference besides replacing everyone with elites?

not on PC it is not.

Correct. Halo will only run shader 2.0 max. It will not support 3.0+. The commands your talking about is "-use20, -use15 and -use10". These are the commands for forcing Halo to run on lower shader models when playing "-useff" in competitions for better frames sacrificing visual quality.

But no, HaloPC is DX9 based and not OpenGL. I searched for months for a way around this for support of adding a .ddl hook to the game for custom shader mods and the closest thing I found that reasonably worked was DXTweaker that was offered with the FTW mod.

Basically, the game is dated and the technology is far surpassed it. You would have to do alot of ground rebuild and im sure engine tweaks to pull of what your looking for and to my knowledge that is happening anytime in the future or in anyones plans. Actually, wouldn't it required modding the .exe itself and that is illegal I think nor will Halomods support that.
