It was a humoristic poke at your egocentric release "thread" on this site, a view shared by many others don't worry but I won't mention names :)
That said, brighten up. Sure I pissed you off half a year ago by complaining about your website, who cares? Get over it man, I don't hold grudges myself :)
Congrats on the OS release anyways, it's a great addition to the available utilities for map-makers :-)

It was in no way egocentric. He merely pointed out that his posting OS here was a courtesy. Halomaps members are very rude and some don't deserve to use a mod like OS.
Kornman could easily have made OS Halomods-exclusive.

Okay Jaz :)

Miiiiiineeeee. Reduce the cc of 1 pixel. And make proper shaders. Also please give a try to my hunters.

@Dennis, can you make an "open sauce work in progress thread" ? That would prevent confusion with stock HEK...

Open Sauce isn't a new game and all bipeds/weapons/vehicles still fall into the same categories whether they use OS or not. If you want an OS thread, ask Kornman.

Probably what Dennis would say and what I'd say too.

That's intentional. Sapien is a viewer for population, theres no need to lag it down with loads of Post processing.

why does OS_DED give me gathering exception data when i run it.

the debug for the os hek is located in my games/halo ce/open sauce/reports

when you want to compile a scenario with os tool, you have to type : "os_tool build-cache-file-ex false false false false <scenario path>" .

What do the falses do?

Read the documentation, or just run os_tool's help command on build-cache-file-ex.




build-cache-file-ex "" false false false [scenario name] thus compiles a .map with no OS funny-business that breaks backwards-compatibility such as mod-specific bitmaps & sounds files or memory upgrades (tagspace, mapsize & script node) while still letting you interface with the rest of OS' additions.

See Issue 13. Issue was fixed, but since we're in release week now and this is only a problem for the dedi, a hotfix/patch (via another installer) won't be released until either more bugs are caught/fixed, or eight days pass.

Before you compile ANYTHING that has been altered with OS, do "os_tool" not "tool"

There's 2 compile functions:
build-cache-file & build-cache-file-ex

The first one is regular.

The second one is the extended one that makes .yelo files, and works like this:
build-cache-file-ex <mod-name> <create-anew> <store-resources> <use-memory-upg
rades> <scenario-name>

I dont know what create-anew and store-resources does, but the memory upgrade means compile over the 128 limit.

So, an example would be:
My map name is "Nicks_testmap"

os_tool build-cache-file-ex nicks_testmap true false true levels\nicks_testmap nicks_testmap

When I get everything figured out, i'll make a video tutorial that'll hopefully help alot.

can someone tell me why does halo ce gives me exception when i use the original d3d9 dll of os and i cant change the d3d9.dll of system 32

Don't use any other d3d9.dll files if you use OS. THEY ARE INCOMPATIBLE... maybe;probably;definitely depending on the situation.

Edit:



Anyone else having issues with the PP? I just got it working for myself.

Does OS allow the compass on the Reach HUD to work?

I have no idea... the HUD I am using in that pic was compiled waaayyy before OS was released. There might be a button that enables that feauture.

Edit: But now I am going to get the infection forms working so I can help a few people out.

EDIT: I am going to make a step-by-step tutorial on this once I figure out flood infection forms. I am figuring them out so I can include them in my tutorial.

Ahh I feel like the CE community has been raised up once again with the release of this! Just seeing that you guys are already doing stuff excites me.

Ignore that It's nothing.

Grr.... having trouble figuring out flood infections.

If you want me to begin the PP tutorial, quote me on this.

Make sure the project yellow is referenced in the top field of the scenario using OS Guerilla. Make sure you're opening in OS Sapien. That should be all that is needed. You can also post OS Sapien's output to debug.txt (remember that OS tools dump to my games\halo ce\open sauce\reports).

The infected biped must be on the same team as the infection form that it was infected by. Also, don't forget that there are newly implemented 3rd person animation states for biped infections, which are found in the model_animations tag and can be compiled with OS_Tool like any other 3rd person animation.

How do you set the flood infection forms up? They dont infect the elite for me...

So I was reading about OS, and it talks about how if, "you want to play haloce.exe without running the OS extensions, you'll need to move the d3d9.dll out of your haloce.exe's directory (and then put it back when you want to use it again)."

So if I had OS loaded, and I wanted to join a server on the stock Bloodgulch map, I wouldn't be able to do that unless I quit the game and changed the dlls? So I wouldn't be able to play any of the original maps including the stock campaign maps unless I changed the dlls?

But then I read further that "If both zanzibar.map and zanzibar.yelo exist at the same time, zanzibar.map will always be loaded first. zanzibar.yelo will never be loaded until zanzibar.map is removed."

So you can play both stock maps and OS maps while playing with OS, but if a stock and OS map have the same name it will load the stock map and not the OS one right? And if you load a stock map, it won't have the OS features of course right?

Killer hour and a half tut is DONE: http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm%3Fpage=topic&topicID=40120

This is awesome guys. Let's resurrect the days of good custom maps, and not have every server hosting bloodgulch!

Does VISR work without having to make a new map or is it OSHEK-applied?

QUESTION: Does this allow animations in UI maps?

Read the external post processing page, its for linking post processing files to the xml in your documents folder.

(srs people.. read the wiki..)

I can't work out the rest.

any help on making work os because when i use the os d3d9.dll it crashes halo help please...

Are you using version 1.09?

yes i am

on your main menu click on (settings) then click on (about) if it says 01.00.09.0620 you are good to go with os,
if it doesn't run your haloce updater icon which is in your haloce program files folder to update to 1.09.
just a thought but if you are set to a different version with version changer then change back to 1.09.

it is set to that build and the only way i can open halo is deleting or changing the d3d9.dll please help i want to use os =E
