Evolved: Geopbyte

i still hate the idea of the legit game but this is different. it wont have all the stuff we hate in it (assuming it actually gets finished). buuut you wont be able to convert halo 3 maps over thanks to the fact that they use completely different memory adresses (og halo 3 maps use big endian and this uses little endian, or its the other way around i cant remember :P)

and thats only the beginning of the issues....

the tags are also stored completely different compared to previous games

I know everybody is hype with this but Dennis is right, you guys has been breaking the forum rules posting any kind of links to hacking the game even when isn't released yet and I think this is why Microsoft didn't make halo games for pc before, well I will not try to make you guys have conscience of it but just respect what the owner of this forum had said.

Personally I think one of the things that should be done is make it so forge variants can be saved but hey, do what you gotta do I guess.

That would be awesome but I think everyone wants a Halo 3 port since people have H2 on Xbox but we do have H3 on the Xbox too :D

Moot, have you heard of Shark?

Isn't halo 2 vista has been locked down? like modifying the game.

Well to be fair, so is halo online.

Even though I have font_package.bin original, Dewrrito does not work help?

I think H2V would be awesome, but I loved Halo 3 it was my favorite and seeing how MCC is broken and this could be our only chance at a Halo 3 port I would say take it, even if the devs know what can happen with the legal things, I think it is what most of the community wants

Do you understand what a lawsuit is?

I would like to apologize for any inconvenience this might cause but I am in need of help.

I know that the game is cracked, and that it contains an unreleased version of the Halo Online Beta which apparently lacks customisation. But, if anyone has experienced this issue before and knows a way to help, I would really appreciate it. So, the game lags. A lot! Even on low settings there this horrible mouse lag/Screen tearing combination. Messing with the settings a little bit didn't help much. Using bandicam to view my FPS in game I get a solid 60 most of the time. Specs:

Pentium G3258@3.2Ghz
Nvidia GeForce GT640 2GB Gddr3
8 Gigabytes of DDR3 ram@1600Mhz.

Thanks in advance.

Actually I believe the creator himself said he's working on a whole remake of it. Don't have a source, as it's from IRC. Which is why I'm not totally sure, but it seemed legit.

Updating the game seems to work, since the lag is not that... heavy anymore. At least its playable now. Thanks.

Gamecheat13 will be planning to add an AI into MP.

I thought it was obvious lol.

When it's ready. Lurk the /vg/ or Reddit threads, you'll soon see.

Let's clear a few things up. The CE HEK is nowhere near as locked down and gutted as H2EK. No amount of modifications to the tool.exe command compiler can fix the issues we have. All code for animations, collision and physics are not present. The size limit on the .ass file CANNOT be removed. The population is so dreadful and the want/need for custom content is so apauling, that even the H2MT has abandoned most or all work.

ZTeam, Darcode or any other person/team you can think of cannot do anything for H2V. Rhe H2MT and Korn have exaisted all interest and possibilities with the game. I've personally tried incorporating OS features into H2V using the private source from Korn on many H2 aspects. Nothing has yet worked, compiled properly or showed any promise.

H2 is dead...simply put. We would all be better off just forgetting it, and wait for a proper Halo PC title to be released. And by that I don't mean this online abortion of Halo.

Yes please make editor tool. #tacos

We updated it a few hours ago with a new launcher (thanks to Busk07), we'll have another update out soon too which I think people have looked forward to for a while.

Oh I wonder what that will be :D

Quaint.

So AI works

I saw a comment of a guy who said that HALO 3 campaign can't be port cos of the maps weight but he said too that only MCC can be but nobody has ripped it yet. Is this true?

what?

your sentence didn't make any sense. the reason they cannot be ported is because of the different way that the xbox 360 handled memory addresses.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness
cant remember which one is which but halo online is in big endian and halo 3 is in little endian...

Little endian is usually Intel x86 processors, ARM processors tend to be big endian, and big is the standard of the internet.

4 one-byte chunks in Big Endian would be "89 AB CD EF" while in little endian they'd be "EF CD AB 89". Just the way the memory is organized

Docer is correct about MCC nobody haven't ripped those files and access them. But the question is how did they ripped Valhalla and guardian and ported to halo online was it just drag and then dropped and bang? Well it's kinda obvious these maps came from MCC but defitantley these maps never ported from halo 3.

I could be wrong, but time will tell.

...one assumes that 343i gave them the files. You know, the super-obvious, super-stupid, even-a-child-would-get-it explanation.

When you get up off your arse and get them.



We know.



Because apparently people have nothing better to be doing with their time than acting like retards on the Internet. As opposed to learning new things, and contributing to the community.

Then if the idiot's are getting fooled why should we care?

I disagree, this forum is exactly as dumb as it should be.
and that's why I keep coming back.

When I hear about halo online I go play a halo game online.

Both. Once you're here you can never leave.

It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion. Terrible, but yet at the same time, too fascinating to look away from.

Apt simile.
