mod problems

Post by Smapla »

this is on the trial version,

i modified bloodgulch in trial halo, using sparkify, sparkedit, desparkify. i made modifications to scenery to basically make platforms with things on them for both teams, and teleports to get up. when i went to show my friend, he couldn't see them, and when anything was on them, he saw them as falling and then returning to a great high rapidly. i don't know much about how multiplayer works, but i guess basically everyone is running off of their own copy of bloodgulch, with my copy (the owner's) as the master copy... not sure really. anyway, is there any way of having him be able to see it without me giving him the file?

No, no there isn't. Unless you don't make platforms and you just put them ontop of cliffs.

the only thing see-able for other joiners when they join your game as you have the "master copy" of the map which you modded, are weapons that you duplicate in spark edit

Not entirely.

Completely seeable
  • 1. Damage
    2. Ammo amounts
    3. Vehicle/weapon/biped/powerup spawn points
    4. Projectile d-swapping
    5. Starting weapons
    6. Teleporters
    7. Starting health/shield amounts
And partially seeable
  • 1. Physics
    2. Speed
    3. Non css projectiles (Damage still works, you just cant see them.)
    4. Vehicle swaps within the index
    5. Weapon swaps within the index
    6. Collision models
    7. Unlimited ammo
    8. Jumping height
This info is a bit out of date and uses some hex modding terms but it's demonstrates the point. There are other changes that are "seeable".

1,2,3,7 and partially 6 are all true. 4 is wrong i believe as you cant see rockets shoot out of snipers unless you have the map. 5 is wrong cause i know if you mode starting weapons in hmt you cant have other people see them. 6 is kinda true as teleports arent seeable to begin with unless you have added the green screen thing which then would be unseeable for joiners (but that doesnt mean the teleporter isnt there, as it is)

all those lead for really strange stuff for the joiner like weird warps, etc =.=

i tried to convert a plasma into a flashbang grenade, and it worked correctly on my computer, but my friend still sees the normal effect... i'm using the 64 plug in pack... does the screen effect bits fall into the non-seeable category too?

edit: i feel like this is supposed to work on multiplayer maps, as it makes no sense to mod a flashbang just to flashbang yourself, unless you want added difficulty in campaign mode or something...

send you're friend the map. Then you'll both have it.
