More likely some new driver dun efffed it up. Role back to your previous nvidia driver and see what happens.

Of course you're using a GPU! If you didn't have a GPU windows wouldn't even start! I think what you mean is that your GPU is integrated, ie an Intel Mobile POS, in which case don't expect jack crap to work. Buy an Nvidia.

And don't rollback anything to do with the processor! Processor chipset drivers are handled by Windows and your BIOS, though I highly doubt a BIOS update would fk up Halo.

Open Sauce is only compatible with English/American Halo CE installations.

In which case the PC fell back on whatever integrated chip it had. Probably an Intel integrated chip.

Just a quick cute test map for the player bonus tag release. Demonstrates the Evolved armor-ability system.

Spawn test AI with "ai_place enc".

Even in a map like this, there are still a few last secrets hiding...

There's a small something hidden somewhere else but it's nothing too exciting. Glad to see that someone thought to play this on noble :)

How to use the health regeneration? I don't know how to use it.

Title : CMT Evolved Armor Abilities / Player Bonus
Release Date : 05-16-2015
Author : CMT
Description : CMT Evolved's player bonus tag release

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

iii. Credits

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

i. Information

This is it: the final release from CMT's Evolved team.

This includes an assortment of bonus tags, scripts and data files for player behavior things that never quite made it into TSC:E. These tags require that you have both the "core" and "scenario" tag / script releases. There's also a quick cute test map for the tags.

Most notable is a scripted armor ability system -- actually a suite of systems -- which includes these armor abilities by default:
1) Shield Booster -- limited-use powerup that lets you recharge your shields on demand. Depletes after two full charges.
2) Portable EMP -- limited-use powerup that, after a short charge-up, kills shields on nearby objects (but also kills your shields). Depletes after three uses.
3) Health Regen -- passive powerup that gives you limited health regeneration, like in Reach. Allows use of your default ability (like flashlight or VISR) while equipped.
4) Health pack -- single-use powerup that instantly refills your health on demand.
5) Active Camo -- limited-use powerup that gives you camo on demand. Running increases the chance that enemies will spot you; crouch-walking makes you fully invisible (unless you're right next to someone).

The CMT Evolved team implemented an armor ability system for TSC:E, but it was cut from the map a few months before release. This is a cleaned-up version of that system. We didn't think that keeping these in TSC:E was worth the associated resource costs. Also it's not very good that this system was implemented with scripts -- it should have been handled by an Open Sauce extension. (That's a big part of why we cut them, in fact). But, maybe one of you out there will find this interesting or useful...

This also includes an experimental system to notify the player of nearby health packs when their health is low.

Additionally, there are a few fixes for script components in the prior scenario release.

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

ii. Quick guide for lazy people who want to just stick the tags in a map

If you just want to get things running in *a* map, we've provided a test scenario that you can compile. It is located at tags\cmt\scenarios\player_bonus_test\player_bonus_test.scenario. Build it with OS_Tool.exe and you can start messing around. Spawn test AI with "ai_place enc" if you want to see how things perform in combat.

There's a readme in both the \tags\ and \scripts\ directories which explain some of their contents. They'll help you navigate the release contents.

There's unfortunately not much else that's "quick" about this stuff. Take a look at the scripts and the documentation therein, and hopefully things will make sense to you.

The "pb_test_cmt_features" script component in \src\scenarios\player_bonus_test\cmt_features\ is where the armor-ability (and other systems) are linked together with the scenario. Follow stuff from there and you'll eventually find where the magic happens.

NOTE! NOTE! NOTE!

These tags and scripts were cut from TSC:E for a reason. The map may not be able to compile under all of its resource limits with them added; it will likely take a lot of effort to make them work correctly in TSC:E. You have been warned. Good luck.

What exactly is going on with all of these different file types, and how is it all mechanically operating? I understand that you guys are busy, overwhelmed and completely over Halo CE, but I would appreciate any sort of answer. Thank you in advance, and thank you again for all of your releases!!

this bonus release adds onto the existing core tags release & scenario tags/scripts release, so make sure you get those before trying anything.

you will also need kornman00's Haloscript preprocessor (HSPP), which is avaiable on halomaps. (the scenario release readme also contains a download link.)

once you have those, you should look for the tutorial folder in the scenario release's scripts\doc folder; part of it is going over general haloscript things (you might find something you didn't know in there!), but a big part of it is also detailing the system we're using to organize and process the source files

this is a huge simplification, but in essence, we split the scripts into a number of independent "components," each containing a main .hs file and then three .hsh header files. a system of preprocessor macros then processes these files into the huge .hsc mountains that are compiled into sapien. some python scripts also do some trimming and basic static analysis to keep filesize down and make sure the preprocessing went smoothly.

the .bat scripts ^handle all of this stuff. if the source .hs/h files are written correctly and your filesystem is organized correctly, then all you should have to do is run the appropriate .bat file for the scenario, and it'll take care of the rest.

you really should read all the documentation in both the scenario release and this bonus release if you're planning on working with the scripts. it seems like a lot at first, but that's what it takes to make something of this scale and quality! and it's much easier than trying to work through ugly processed X-thousand line .hsc garbage

lag, which pack has the .3ds files for the weapons and vehicles?
If there is none, could upload one please?

i am sorry to report that while basically every tag from the a50 2012 era was backed up, i've not been able to find the sniper rifle. (or the smg for that matter -- it seems like at some point the backup got cut off in the middle of the 's' human weapons). the hek+ is basically your only option.
