can anyone tell what open sauce is?

Open source, this for anyone who isnt a fag and acctually wants to contribute the community, and not protect and keep to themselfs.

Basically, Open Sauce is a tool for making various changes in Halo CE's Engine. Although you will need a bit of C++ skills, you can add some collision stuff so you don't fall off a vehicle while mobile, make dual wielding scripts, vehicle boarding scripts, etc etc.

Could be either.

So open source could put halo pc on par with Halo 2 vista, or maybe even halo 3, or am I getting my hopes up?

but gameplay wise..?

some aspects mabey, others cannot be replicated.

It's a Software Development Kit, or SDK. It's code compiles a .DLL file that Halo.EXE loads when it starts up. It has it's own startup code, which 'registers' new stuff.Multi-team vehicles. Your enemy can drive you around :D

sounds awsome, and to implement theses changwes to the engine, I'll only have to load the map? (which I have dificulty beliving)

Sounds like Honey Mustard to me.

A few maps might come with their own build of Yelo, which would need to be placed in CE's folder, but Korn's going to release a stable, official build soon.

when? or is it to early to ask?

Too early.

I'm guessing some time this year, meaning soon

sometime this year is almost over ya know :|

12 days ;D

Are you sure?

Kornman said he is going to make a thing so people that don't know how to code can at least put some use towards Open Source.

Also, you need the .dll the person makes and the map in order to use its functions correctly. If not, it'll just exception.

Don't get your hopes up for something coming out soon, because it won't happen.

Didn't Sonic get the 3p camera working?

But wecould finally see such things as bubble shields (they don't stop explosions yet) and gravity hammers working?

Yes , we got the function to have 3p Cam made in Open Source already i have just not distributed the dll file yet.

What is the 3p cam? is it 3rd person camera? like third person view?

So that's what the multi-vehicles korn said open sauce could do out of the box was. I thought multi-vehicles meant the 6 vehicle type limit had been removed.

So, do you need to do somthing special to your map to use the multi-team vehicles code in the .dll? or do you just drop the .dll file into your folder and you'll be able to be driven by your oppenent in a warthog in all maps, even the default ones?

When you download a sauce map, in the folder, there will be the system sauce dll. You have to install it.

You dont install dll files, you just place them in the correct directory. The problem is that there will be different dlls for different maps you want to play that use open sauce, so you would have to replace the dll everytime u want to play that map.

If you don't know what it is then it is now useful for you.
I'm pretty sure those were the exact words Korn used...

Being adaptable with Halo 3 is possible. Like they use Tool to modify Halo 3 maps, after they are pulled from the Xbox 360 Hard Drive. (Using an XSATA, and Xport.)

It cannot be used to its full potential though. So it is basically pointless to use it for Halo 3.

What he means is that will Open Sauce will meet the same standards as Halo 2 and Halo 3.
No it will not

Bungie uses a different tool to compile their Halo 3 stuff. And you have no knowledge in modding Halo 3 Maps as tool.exe has no use in User Modding. Modding Halo 3 maps take more than just extracting its contents from a 360 Hard Drive, it has to go through different steps, much more steps than Halo PC/CE modding. As it is more difficult.

Dude, read up, the XSATA is a way to put Xbox 360 files on your computer (make them viewable) and Xport allows you to view them on your computer, as well as move them from the 360 hard drive, to your computer.

They use Tool to edit the map. it wont WORK in Halo Custom Edition, but it is used. (I have never modded before, but will be starting soon, so I read up on different ways of modding.)
There is a lot to do. But it will keep me interested in Halo 3 for quite some time.

A map from Halo 3, is still called ".map", I do not know details, but I know it works in tool.

to answer ninjadudes question yes 3rd person cam

The 6 vehicles in globals represent the 6 vehicles in the customize gametype->vehicles->custom vehicle set menu, in the order: Warthog, Ghost, Scorpion, Rocket Hog, Banshee, & Turret.

If I'm not mistaked, Korn set it up so that there's a checkbox in one of the tags for it.

So what can I do with the open sauce thats on halomaps now?

So it won't work with just any map then (sadface) oh well, time to download open sauce and see if it is beyond by limited programing knowlage.

You, yourself, is unable to do anything with it as most people have no knowledge in C++ scripting.

If you want to learn C++, here, this site shows you the basics and details. (The second link has the compiler.)
