Bump to mention that medals have been added to HAC 2. See this post and accompanying video for more information.

Other stuff added since the last bump:
Custom (Reach style) chat
Full-screen windowed mode
Widescreen HUD

That Halo Reach chat looks pretty damn cool. Same goes for the medals and etc

I got a bug report from my mate Xander that, when you change to the Halo 4 pack in-game (well, not in the menu), then there's no sound to be heard. But when you switch to Halo 3 or Reach (also in-game):

[12:08:08] Xander: they keeped working like a charm

Not really sure what he means. I haven't encountered any such problem and can't think of any reason for the sound to stop working with the Halo 4 pack.

What do I write in the init text?

Replying here as well, so it doesn't look like I've ignored you:

There’s no need to change your init.txt. HAC will remember your preference if you use the console command.

Sorry for posting both places I wanted to post here only but I spaced out, another question do I need to make seperate folders for each pack? cause mine isn't loading.

Also can I put Optic load X in my init text?

No, they all go in the same folder. Just to clarify, do not extract the archives. Just put them in the 'packs' folder.

You probably could but it wasn't designed for that so I can't guarantee success (at best it'll cause it to load/unload/reload). As said, you can use optic load at the console and HAC will remember your preference to save you doing it again.

Thanks man, you don't have to answer on the other site. I'l make Spanish and English video tutorials on how to do those things after I get from work this afternoon. Make init text, install and such. Thanks man and sorry to bother you.

Don't worry about it, it's what I'm here for. ;)

I'll be pasting my answer on the other site too, just in case somebody else has a similar question. It's haloreach for the Reach pack. The name should match the archive name.

Well,when I tried to change the pack INGAME to halo4 (while playing in bloodgulch game to be precise) it did not play any medal sound. BUT,when i returned to h3/haloreach packs(ingame also) they did worked like a charm as usual.

The Halo 4 kill medals have no sound (they're obnoxious enough as it is but staying true to the game and all that). If you're talking about the spree medals, I have no explanation and would need to see a video.

Do I have to download these manually or will HAC 2 update itself?

You'll need to download the packs manually. They're too big to consider for inclusion and too small for a download system. ;)

nope, started up on both ends of the addons, both work on their own, but not together

im a 1.09 user. well... until its confirmed that os and hac both are compatible on .10

I was able to reproduce the crash under certain conditions. I'll check it out.

gotcha, I checked it out in halo pc though, this looks great :)

now imagine this kind of stuff being used with multiplayer ai put into effect, killionaire for days



noticed a problem with hud color while messing around in pc, so im guessing this is also in ce, it resets sometimes in sp if you edit it in mp, and vice versa, or when you loop around on a single go in the past 5 minutes making you have to start all over with editing. bug maybe?

edit: tested it more the whole hud setup resets after leaving a game/map/mode, might need a fix

also the optic voiceover and medals don't work all the time, and sadly wont work for me when I host a server, lan or internet

Yes, please do it. I'll award you with tons of doritos and gallons of mountain dew D:

All kidding aside I think this would be cool.

it could be good if it had some interesting stuff, imagine all the packs for all the hit markers, medals, etc.

I think you missed being "killed by vehicle", and " killed by Guardians", in your conditions.

I hope next HAC2 they put chatlog.

So its just separate pack like halo3,halo4 and haloreach?

now if only we can get this to work with medals, only time will tell

I modded my Halo 4 optic pack so it has deathsounds in it. Funny thing is when you kill yourself it says suicide and then the deathnoise comes (I will probably have to move something in the script), it gives a pretty funny effect.

(If you want, I can send it to you.)

You think it's possible for Optic to work with AI? I like the feeling of getting multikills and sutch in campaign...I'm probably the only one who'd like this....I'd like it because of Firefight Descent/other Firefight single player maps.

Afraid not.

Well that's too bad. Curious, why isn't it?

I see, thank you for the answer.

put simplified, cant host a lan or host an online server, must join in order for it to work

That. Is hilarious.

Waiting for documentation so I can combine with my H3 pack.

I'm going to make halo ce medals using halo 4 medals (you will not have as much difference)

EDIT: bad idea xD
