users can download the patching engine and make patches but the patches are distributable and in EXE format so u wouldnt need the engine to apply them

I think the patches would be better off as PPF or IPS so they could be platform independent. I can't run EXEs.

As stated, not everyone plays Halo exclusively over XBConnect or one of the other services. For instance, sometimes I have a small LAN party at my home, but the problem is, there's no internet service there. Hell, I talk on these boards mainly from the library or my brother's home.
Back to the point... Halo runs fine on a normal LAN with, say, 2 other XBoxes, when internet access is nowhere in sight. It'd be good to be able to download the patching engine so I don't have to run back to my brother's place every time I want to, say, make a patch for the Scorpion to fly, too, or to patch a different level.

Yeah I guess like I said, you could just choose the configuration before hand and just bring the patch to the LAN party. Or maybe someone could port it to a self-contained app.

Well, I was just trying to point out that you can't always forsee what combination of hacks you'll want in the event that you do not have an internet connection. Like I said, you could change your mind after playing for an hour on the same level with the same hacks.

dmauro u could do a mac os one and ill do the windows one

I don't know how to do an OS X one. I could maybe try. Anyways, we should determine the format of the ini files so the program can use the same ones. Something very simple and versatile. If it isn't going to be web based, it should have an auto-update function where you can click a button and it downloads the latest ini files. That would be excellent. We would have to have a host we know wouldn't drop out on us though.

He does make a good point. I've never checked out Halo Cache Editor though. I will go take a look.

You should get version 2 and version 3 of Halo Cache Editor. Version 3 has more features, but it is also has more bugs.

It looks like HCE only allows you to swap offsets of 4bytes. Does it allow for stuff like flying hogs?

i am not sure but the last dude that posted on the HCE thread said he had an ini for flying ghosts. I think it is just a matter of setting up the prog to make things fly.

EDIT: Andy_0113 just posted how to make ghosts fly in the HCE thread, i will give it a try when i get home.

thanks i spent most of the day working on it and if you want i can make warthog an Scorpion versions

CaicedoLuis · « **Reply #26 on:** August 19, 2003, 11:35:00 AM »

so i guess this project is dead.... how about making the teleporter into a warthog turret??? i started a thread yesterday but no-one has figured it out

dmauro · « **Reply #27 on:** August 19, 2003, 11:45:00 AM »

I say the project is not dead. I will try to write something up in PERL then. How hard could it be (famous last words). It's hard to show you what I am thinking for the program, but it is nothing like HCE. It would be much more flexible and easy. I really don't think it would be too hard. To run it independent of the web, you would just have to install PERL and run it off your computer.

Most of the day? You just have to break it up into pieces. You must be a slow typer. =)
