yes well there are a lot of stupid people out there that dont know where to find bloom and i had trouble finding it so i am trying to help other people out by giving people a link to download it

What is 'bloom'

Well, thanks, I was looking for that.

STFU NOOB!

Kidding. But really, what is it?

its something that will make halo look a hell of a lot better

or we could, you know, actually TELL him what it is. bloom is basically an effect that when you have something shiny in a dark area, it looks like there is light being thrown off of it. like looking at headlights at night

Uh.. dude if you continue to talk to people like this then your account will be locked. You haven't done anything or lived long enough to take this type of attitude because if you had lived long enough you would not have responded in this manner. Go tell your parents to send you to your room for trying to be an Internet bully.

Heh... I just lol'ed.... But really its the internet, the only law is the mods and admins at the place/forum you are at.

Anyhow, I dont get how to install this though.

It doesn't make things TOO shiny, right?
If it doesn't I'll try it.

It doesn't make things TOO shiny does it?
And how is that bottom text getting out of the quote box?

well i have had A problem with running CMT spv1 A10 and i get some kind of high voltage sign but thats the only problem i have encountered with bloom

no its just that when ever i start a10 and after the cutscene where you first begin i get a highvoltage sign embeded in the HUD but that is the only problem i had with bloom

nvm no you should be fine

stupidity at its best. one person messes up a /quote thing and 4 other people quote / screwup. im html'ing this
bloom isnt shininess by the way. its light castoff. pistol is bright and reflective, thus it looks as though it is glowing white in the sunlight. thats what bloom does.

so it still looks cool

then you are doing something wrong because i never got an exception you should be copying the files d3d9.dll and both the quality folder and the color folder those are the files you were supposed to copy into your halo CE root directory

well thats wierd i never got an exception before hhmm and no you dont because i have never installed dxtweaker and i cannot get it to work but i have tried bloom and it works for me though

9 because im using windows 2000

Don't use Bloom. It really isn't that great. It'll fry your eyeballs just as much as....oh wait, you're already at the computer all of the time anyways. Nvm. But it still freaking hurts my eyes.

no because it is meant for directx 9 so if i were you i would upgrade to directx 9

Look great, I can use camo fix too :D.

And I tried cmt snowgrove. I FINALLY found a use for the sniper night vison. CMt_snow_grove at night looks great, but is ALMOST as dark as hugeass night, except it's really shiny and looks nicer (light form tele and explosions reflect off of things)

ok guys i made a huge edit .........lol well now i gave directions on how to install it

ok i will

Why is this dropping my FPS so much?! My 8600gt (on 1280x1024) will drop from 333 fps to 25-30 FPS.

Unreal tournament 3 runs at 1280x1024 at 40-45 FPS for me, so, for some reason, bloom mod makes halo more demanding than UT3!

bloom wasnt made for halo. it was originally made ofr GTA SA. so the hacked bloom for halo will drop ur fps horribly

yes well run halo at a lower resolution i only run mine at 800X600 and my specs are

Intel pentium 2.8GHz and about 700 something megs of ram why do you need to run everything st the highest resolution anyway? lol i have had no problems with performance issues at all the only problem i have is it messing up and making halo think that it is night time sometimes but thats it

you cant use bloom on halo v1.08

yes you can because i am using 1.08 and i get no problems whatsoever and i never got any errors so yes you can

it depends.

well your pc might not be powerful enough can you post your system specs please?

yah the xfire works. its better than finding out yourself XD

just post how fast is your cpu and how much RAM you are running on

Did you try using version changer? Do you know what it is?

wow well what version of halo are you using then? because i have a 2.8 intel pentium and im having no problems is it saying that right when you start up halo?
