Or that.

Another question. I'm testing a map for a friend, and whenever I open it( I was told it ahd to have OS) it gimme exceptionz. Now, I'm opening it in Multiplayer CTF, Lan, but it still gimme exception. However, it might not be just OS, because sometimes a map just always exceptionz for me.

Hope to god it aint the person's error.

Besides, how do you know its a he? It could be a she.

Actually is a she.

Loljk, you were right.

How were you right, I wonder?

Well, it seems Waffles has developed psychic powers. Time to run away forerver.

Edit: Reinstalled OS.Map still exceptions. Either it my computer is being annoying, or the error is in the map itself.

PERSON WHO GAVE ME MAP. YOU READING THIS?

Been gone for 2 weeks now, anything new here I need to download?

yeah... I just got fraps but it's only demo and lets me record for 30 seconds..

The next update (3.0.1) will be coming out soon (within the next week) that fixes some minor (eg, settings not saving right) and some major problems (eg, crashing without warning when using a map with an unregistered modset). You'll either see a post about it, or see the version info flashing in game.

Once again, it's not our problem to fix. Xfire has to fix the destructive way in which they hook games. Try searching for/using other programs (eg, MS Expression Encoder) if recording is that big of an issue.

Will the next update be a hotfix/patch or complete new download?

There is no Xfire-OS problem. Just an Xfire problem because of it's poor design.

Why in the world do you people use Xfire anyway.

Ahem...

May I kindly direct you to this:

Xfire Game Support Forum

It will be a completely new download.


I don't know what "sounds like an issue on their side" to that admin. It's an issue with their lame ass program. Steam's overlay works fine and dandy.

At the very least, Xfire needs to perform a checksum on the DLL that they're trying to hook into to make sure it's the real D3D9 and not a 'd3d hook'. We can't fix other people's crappy programs.

Because it's a great program that does exactly what it says it does and is jam-packed with handy features for gamers and people wanting to show off their custom content. That's why.

Idk why other 3rd party applications that also use d3d9.dll's ARE compatible with xfire, just saying. (I really don't know btw so don't yell at me for raising a genuine concern, as I would love to know the technical reason why those programs do work with xfire and OS doesn't).

Edit: I can also report that for some reason I can now finally use the F7 key without any problems, lord knows why it wouldn't work before but hey, neat little feature!
Also: I can't find any way to enable bloom in the OS_user settings, how would I go about enabling bloom?
And I can confirm that motion blur causes severe performance drop and doesn't really work too well, it needs some better "acceleration" support if you know what I mean.

Is your HCE for sure up to date?
check http://code.google.com/p/open-sauce/issues/list?can=1
one of the solved issues, they just had to delete their postprocess xml (/documents/my games/halo ce/opensauce/)

So, will I be able to use 1.09 version changer in conjunction and not receive any problems in the future?

Also, my installation did not put the d3d9.dll into my directory, and then when I opened the installer with 7-zip it wasn't there either. Luckily I had one lying around from an older version of OS so it's working fine now for me, but obviously a lot of people posted that they don't have it.

If it didn't add one, then it means the OS installer didnt find your halo install suitable (either not 1.09, or another issue with files)

If your using a d3d9 from anything other than the current version of OS, then you are not using the current version of OS (That dll IS OS)

For versioning, there IS a command about it, but idk if it works or not (its not listed on the script wiki, but its in a sauce version of hs_doc.txt)
(game_change_version_id <also-change-game-build-string> <version-string>)

I tried it just then an still didn't work. Someone has this error out there too.
http://code.google.com/p/open-sauce/issues/detail?id=21&can=1

When I start releasing stuff I'm just going to use the default stuff, no OS version or anything. Too much complication. But that's just me, OS is definitely a breakthrough.

Same... OS just seems too much for me atm.

Too much? OS is just what I needed.

Follow along with this debugging stuff trying the test dll's
http://code.google.com/p/open-sauce/issues/detail?id=22&can=1
The previous DLL's seem to be taken down as new ones are put up, so you should get in the testing before they get past whatever your problem may be.

why does os installer gives me exception every time i try to reinstall it help it gives when saying installing directx

Really? Actually, I installed it while it was version 1.00, then read that it's only 1.09, so I updated it. Then to make sure there wasn't a problem I retried the OS installer, and picked 'fix,' and after it was done it said no problems were encountered. Is my backwards-ass process the issue?

Also, does that mean the F7 hot-key and all the 'pp_' stuff was present in older versions? Cause like I said, it's working perfectly.

E) Also, I wasn't asking if OS had a version changer, I was just wondering if it's compatible with Geomitar's (as you have to replace the strings.dll and such).

It doesn't have any problems on mine. And that's with the map cacher and the version changer.

Use Version Changer. Stop relying on things from 1.09, all the good stuff is in 1.08 and 1.07.

1.09 is the only legit version of Halo left.

A request: would it be possible to adjust OS so one could simply enable or disable bloom in the user settings?

DO NOT use any builds of ANY OS executables that are not from official releases.

Always refer to the project's wiki, issues, and especially the FAQ for resolving problems. I'm getting tired of basically telling people to read, so this is the last time I'm spelling this out.


"This team is private. You must be a member to view this page. "


What other Halo programs, that act as a d3d9.dll hook, run without issue with xfire active? Also, Steam runs fine with OS (thought Steam itself has issues with the function keys).

Refer to the postprocessing wiki

You can turn off motion blur via settings or while in-game.

Version changer lets you use all the Versions of halo... You can still be on 1.09 and useapps from 1.08 or 1.07, heck even 1.00.

Unless I'm completely becoming blind, there are no settings for bloom here. The other stuff you mentioned is there however.

could someone explain to me why open sauce setup gives me error when im reinstalling it ,may it be because uninstalled halo ce and hek without uninstall Open sauce or because i install directx 9.0c

You are not blind sir,bloom is not under that XML file,just most of the other settings.

Also,

I PM'd Dennis asking if he would start hosting ".yelo" maps, and he said yes.

Just putting that out there in case any of you are shy about uploading a .yelo

Well he uploaded OS itself so I thought that was kinda obvious...
