Or, instead of saving a file. Right click it, and in the little menu, select "Copy Image Location". On a Mac you may need to hold Ctrl (Control) and click.
type where you wan't the picture:

[url ][/ url] (take out the spaces)

then in the middle, press Ctrl + V (On a mac go to Edit, Paste) and an address will appear.

[url ]*The address should be here*[/ url]

remember to take out those spaces.

Sounds like youre an AI master type person, with some basic editing skills tossed in...

Valuable to anyone wanting to make SP maps.

That's a winner.

l283023, stop calling people names, even if you are only hinting at it.

Hint hint, Foxtrot's a moron?

That wasn't a hint. He called him a moron, only he phrased it differently.

Kazunekun: Give up hope. AI will never sync 100% percent. Unless you can change the netcode somehow, you will not make AI sync.

If you're making an SP map, you don't need to make the AI synchronize, as SP maps are always played offline.

See what I mean?

That's what I call hinting :| I'm stupid though, so don't mind me.

Anyway, what happened to this team? Any progress? Who're the members?

The state of each AI biped is not synced across the network, period. There is no way to make them sync at all.

Oh, and it's way more than just spawn points. Not only do they not spawn in the same spawn points, but where and when they move, what they say, where they look, who they target, when they shoot, just about everything that they do is not synced.

The only thing that syncs about AI bipeds or just plain bipeds is this: when you join a server hosting an AI map, you sometimes see what looks like uncontrolled bipeds just sitting there that you never can kill. That is actually the server updating the client on the existence of that biped on the server side, meaning updating its health as well. But that's it. It only updates whether it exists or not, not its position, not its state, nothing. The reason why you can't kill those strange bipeds is because on the server side they're not at that position. If you were to, by chance, shoot at a blank space where the AI is on the server side and kill the server side AI, then your biped would finally die. That is the only tiny tidbit of syncing that the net code actually does perform, but that's it.

The AI that you do see being controlled and acting properly are merely your own instance of the AI, which is local to your instance of the game only and does not exist the way you see it on anyone else's screen.

So, no, it's not possible.

wtf are u guys talking about
it took so freaking long to read all that and i still dint get it...
STAN plzz help me with my open edges....PLZZ

That topic has been covered before:


AI has not been made to sync in the past 8-6 or so years Halo PC and CE have been out and no one has found a way to do it. If it were going to happen it would have happened already.

Okay. Here's how you sync AI: Go ahead and learn how to program in C++ and reverse engineer Halo's source code, edit its net code to fully synchronize AI to clients, and then distribute the modified engine to enough websites to gain popularity while avoiding getting sued by Microsoft.

Of course it's possible. But you must be insane to try it. The point is, it will require modifying the game engine itself, and unless you're an experience programmer, you're not going anywhere with this, especially with all of the legal issues.

Oh my, if even i can do it then it must be incredibly easy.

Its this simple. The coding for halo is not designed to sync AI. The game Engine JUST DOES NOT DO IT. ITs possible to reconstruct the engine. It could be whatever you want it to be at that point. But it would be hard to distribute it. And Bungie, Microsoft, and Gearbox would sue the living crap out of you. I can't make that clearer.

Its possible to make AI have duplicate actions, shoot the exact same AI in the Same pre programed spaces. and even that is sketchy. Its laggy and won't always work right. as you can see, it is NOT POSSIBLE. sorry to burst your bubble.

hey kazunkun u want to join the team?

so u do?
here is a Question
wats ur experience to be sure

Actually, Halo CE Isn't an offically supported wing of Halo.

Its owned by microsoft aswell, but the other person was Gearbox Studios. Halo was and is originally a console game - people like me know that for sure. And so Gearbox steped in to help with the PC releases. Bungie didn't have much to do with Halo CE, it was more of Gearbox's thing and it is currently not an offically supported halo game. Bungie has forums for it, and we get patches because one of the Bungie workers who still care about us has the build machine for the game under his desk and not in some Microsoft vault.

When Gearbox made this spinoff edition, they had strict sets of what they wanted done, and though syncing AI over multiplayer is something they may have liked, it couldn't be done. Not with what they had to cram together onto the halo disc. Plus, computer technology wasn't as advanced now as it was then: when was it made, 2000? 2005? 3 years can prove for alot of computer advancement.

All i am saying, is that you should go to Microsoft, as Bungie won't play TOO big of a role here.

If they let you through with it, you could rebuild the Halo engine, for alot of things. Not just AI syncing over Multiplayer, but way more advanced mapmaking things. So far as, Online Co-Op anyone? I don't know, but i say: if its something you wan't to do, and you wan't to try, and you are sure microsoft, gearbox, and bungie aren't going to collectively sue the hat off your ass, i will be proud to be one of the first to download your new halo and help promote it.

Enough of my Motivational Speeches. I mostly want to say is that you should talk to Microsoft, but Bungie might still be a good first stop. Afterall, they made the game.

wow man u do love AI
u think u can put AI on the maps were going to make?

ok kool cuzz we already got started into one
u have xfire right?
if u do go to this website and apply

http://www.xfire.com/clans/rhm117/

the map were making is from a game that i really like and that i think would be a great map
well that's my idea, i need other opinion too sooo yea
here is the link to a video tut it got sort of messy wen i uploaded to youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFvAwZXhVnA

wow
well i think ima still receive that error but ill try

RHM members read this and look at link

i have started on a map alredy andn this is wat i got so far
this took me about 2 hours and yeah

MUAHAHHAHA
members i also edited the xfire clan site ok

comosaywatnow??
w/e
sry guys i havent been on for a while and yeah...

uhhh guys i am almost done with the map all i got to do is create builidings bettween cliffs and create the main point of the map.
so aftre im done ill just upload to filefront and and [ESG]$L@YER will take care of
running chimp,
making the GRABLISTNEER,
editing the jms
make the bitmap tags (INCLUDING fixing THE ERROR in tool we usually get)
make the shaders then compling the scenario
aftre hes done he will upload them to filefront
