Are you kidding me? Look at the front page with its large group of "easily swayed idiots".

Because it's so much better here right? ._.
Both sites have good and bad community members, that doesn't make one community better than the other one.

One can be better than the other depending on what your needs are from each community.

What do you mean by wanting to know my logic?

why you think this isnt going to work.
i ahm trying to avoid teh flame wars

i simply stated that cause so much stuff over there gets flamed when ever there is no pics or anything like that. I prefer Halomaps over Modacity any day. but thats just my opinion

As I have said many times: "Without re-writing the code or a third party application you cannot get AI to sync in Halo CE."
Keep waiting. If you believe that I am wrong in my previous and consistent statement about how Halo CE works on a technical level then explain why?

As for Ripcord, it like opensause is a 3rd part application and maybe it might work; I doubt it, but maybe. I am not privy to the code so I can’t say one way or the other. However since any third party application no matter how sophisticated requires using a memory hack to access and manipulate the variables it will be, like opensauce, totally version dependant. Anyone who has used that abomination program “version changer” will be out of luck since the key memory locations change in each version and all version changer does is mask the actual version of the program when it connects to the server.

My personal opinion is that it is much too premature in its development to even announce it much less make plans for its use, however that is just me. I was taught to show people what I did not tell them what I will do. I will withhold any judgment on it until and if it is released.

Ps: you guys really got to get over this trying to prove me wrong on technical issues, like syncing AI in a standard map, it is incredibly childish (ooh, ooh I bested the authority figure in my forum) and just shows you don’t fully understand how things function.

so i think the 2nd step can easily be bypassed, as alot of programs can do that. (bluearrow, aimbots, devmode trainers, etc)
so the main problem is transfering all that data.
i suppose i see your point

hey, if kip has a somewhat working program and he just needs help with programming c++ and memory addresses the folks at modacity would be happy to help him. dont be so quick to judge everyone based on what website they frequent

and like i said, memory addresses are the only way you could do this. you would need to get ALL of the randomly generated data from ALL of the host's AI, send it to ALL of the clients, and somehow inject that data into THEIR ai overwriting the locally generated random data. AND you have to do it many times a second. lets not even get into how the game can spawn random numbers of AI.

THIS is only one of the reasons why this program is so outlandish. you guys are so convinced that this is possible. "have faith" was my favorite defense. its near impossible to "have faith" in this program when you stop and think about the technical aspect of it, and then of course look who its coming from. kip, i hate to bash you buddy, but i just do not believe you can pull this off. i dont think you even know what youre trying to get yourself into here.

Not to mentions that you would absolutely HAVE to lock-step the clients... meaning until one client says they got the right packet (all the way) the clients can't do anything, no shooting, moving, nothing.

that would cause for some major lag or not even lag but freezing

Sending Data is simple. but sending To much will be Hard. If this guy can do it I'll be amazed, It would take alot of data configuring and super fast internet. leaving the people like us who live out in the country not having a chance to use it if it does work :(

lol dennis, that's y i said waiting, i doubt this is gonna work to a functional degree(past having two players and 2 random ai's), and thus is y i am waiting, so while i wait i shall shoot down planes in a random ww2 dog-fighting game i found....which has syncing ai(but they are stupid flew right under me as i dropped air-bombs on em :P) kip if this is true then yay, well not yay just yet just mehyay.....if not shame on u sir....SHAME!!!! cause if it dont work u aint getting any pancake mix .

Or it will quite possibly BSOD.

Technically, if this works, Dennis won't be proved wrong: He said the only way to get it to work is to either modify the engine or through a third-pary app, which this is.

True point. This could work I think, but if a problem exists, i think it will be more on the host side for sure. I am at least anticipating that if it does work, it will probably occasionally exception, but I am no programmer so I may not know what the hell I am talking about.

While such a program is an exciting prospect in it's own right, I don't understand why you have chosen to reveal it at such an early stage. It seems you've only reached the first milestone in this project's development, and as said above, the amount of work remaining to make this functional and useful to the community, still is astronomical, if not galactical.

Maybe he wanted some help? or he wanted to show the progress of what he was working on?

Alright, looks like the forums became restless, I was at the FFA Ag Progress Days with my chapter, sorry about the being busy.

Have a lot of busy days ahead, my senior year is packed, I will update as I can.

If I can get someone to help with the programming, that would GREAT! I would love to redo this in C++!

NP code is like trying to walk in the dark with your eyes closed in a maze. You have to constantly correct your errors. And each time you have a good chance of running into a wall and crashing, haha.

Now, about injecting the data, I wanted to setup the maps to do it for me, the program will work with the map (which will need to be bugged for the software) and then that will communicate with the engine. Kinda like a virus, but this is for online sync.



Yes, you are most correct, this is the beginning, I have done my research on HOW to do it, but the only thing to be said is "Can It Be Done". This REQUIRES patients and SUPPORT from the community, otherwise I am willing to drop this project much like I did the first time!

I started this back up because after thinking about how young the modding community still is, I have to treat its act like its age. Not punish it with full penalty. I know what this is like, I got in trouble, and Cody, Aaron, and a few other close friends could tell you what happened to me was BS. So in all fairity, lets get this done. alright?

This project will only move if I have full community support, because even you guys who think I am BS can help.

Tell me what you think wont work, and how you would make it work, and if you see something I said wrong that would lead me in the wrong direction, "help" me, not call it out and post. Try to explain it.

end-rant

Back to business, gotta mow the lawn today, no progress for this week, Friend's out of the hospital, same friend's birthday is today, and trust me, he has a huge influence on this project, HUGE!

Also got FFA, School in 12 days, my motorbike project for school transportation, and going to orientation for Taco Bell. =P


So any takers on C++ programming help?



I live on a 138 acre farm with my closest neighbor being a 1/2 mile away, the next is roughly a mile



I respect this answer highly

--------------------------------------------------------

EDIT

I was hoping to make a version changer to coincide with which version you own, so it can work for everyone, but as for the version changer, I am stooped.

I am constantly making a list of what there should be, should not be, and should be changed.

Someone help Kip with code. This way we'll have less ranting and more RipCord.

Woot! kinda the same acept mines 100 acres but my neighbor lives a mile away and the closest town is 17 miles away!

wait until doompig sees that...

I am 12 miles from school, my closest friend is 4 to 5 miles away, my high school has 300 students evened out.

mine only has 120

Bypassed profanity filter

Edited by Dennis on Aug 19, 2010 at 06:30 PM

so how is this program coming along?

Alright then..... (forgot this is a website most users are under 16, my bad =p)

----------------------------------------

Program is stopped, not enough time and no offers to help, sorry for the inconvenience, you can delete this thread.

Sadly enough, I am stopping Halo CE all together, well, not sad for me, I am starting at Taco Bell here in two weeks, and I have SATs and Senior year of HS to worry about =p.

Also FFA and CP classes all this year. And goin to Nationals for Future Farmers of America!!! =D Going to Indiannapolis! (excited about that one)

instead of stopping it why not give it to some one who can finish the work?

Let me be absolutely clear on this: It matters not what age the visitors of this web form are, using profanity in a public (global) forum is rude, crude and unacceptable behavior by any standard of any age group. The only reason I have to constantly remind people here is that users of it tend to be less mature about that type of behavior.

What he said.

I wouldn't mind at all taking a peek at the source code, been trying to learn 3++ for quite a while, it would be nice to look at a real example finished or not.

lol 3++

what he said lol.

I just thought some of you might have matured
