The Halo Hub Aug 29, 2021 02:35 AM
(Total replies: 0)
Hey guys, I wanted to get some feedback on an idea that I'm working on realizing... I looked around on the OC forums, and I think this is the best place to post this. The general idea is to create a platform where modders can release their mods more easily to the community, and players can have a fun platform to find cool mods. Here's a brief description that I have for it on the home page: Quote: Depending on community response, the developers at The Halo Hub plan to grow the platform to make it easier for players to find and play Halo content, and to make it easy for Modders to launch their content. The following outlines our feature plans we plan to develop: - User generated content without any human approval process; that way, halo modders can release their content quickly, and spend more time creating amazing mods. - Machine Learning algorithms to sanitize all input forms; that way, players have a safe platform to browse for halo content. - Versioned releases, allowing modders to update their content while keeping previous downloads intact. - An in house file repository, so that all content can be hosted by The Halo Hub and served by The Halo Hub, allowing for blazing fast download speeds. - Engagement, so that players can provide feedback for halo modders to make their maps better! In our MVP, we have prepopulated the platform with content for players to download. Click the "Find Projects" button on the side navigation bar to explore our content! Let me know what you guys think! Thanks for the feedback :D URL: https://www.thehalohub.org/ -Nickster5000

I'm currently working on my own platform which can be found here:https://halomodding.org. Although it doesn't currently support file uploads, it allows anyone to post their projects as a guest, and it allows anyone to apply a set of filters to find what they are looking for.

We have a spammer - JadeUndead Jun 11, 2020 01:34 PM

I'm not 100% sure on the actual specs, but I'm sure that it uses a form of supervised learning to create a neural network. Basically, feed the algorithm a ton of examples of what toxic content looks like, and it will iterate as many times as needed to develop a neural network model to detect toxicity. Machine learning is a very involved field, and it requires a lot of stats and computer science knowledge to succeed in. If you scroll down on the landing page, you can type some phrases and see if it detects it as toxicity! So with the recent wave of spams, I decided to see the feedback of his recent message as an example: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/208046640018227201/720776928084361366/unknown.png Edited by Nickster5000 on Jun 11, 2020 at 07:14 PM

Dennis, I have anticipated these issues on several projects that I have created, and I use an amazing technology called perspective. You can read more about it here: https://www.perspectiveapi.com/ Perspective utilizes a machine learning model to scan all content for potential toxicity, and assigns them a value between 0.0 and 1.0, with values closer to 1.0 being considered toxic. I have also looked into other alternatives like custom tensorflow models, but this one seems to be the best use for me (in terms of cost, implementation, and performance). I'm not sure how much traffic HaloMaps generates, but I've been able to use this for free, and I'm sure it would work great to mitigate the trolls. Hopefully this helps!

[HELP!] Halo 1 Campaign Maps to 3Ds Max and Unity Oct 16, 2019 04:41 PM
(Total replies: 13)
Well, the hardest part of your endeavor is going from Halo CE to 3DS Max. Getting stuff into unity is very easy to do. I think Adjutant allows you to export BSP's from Halo Custom Edition (I know they definitely let you export from newer halo games). Not sure where the most reliable download for Adjutant is though, however. Perhaps someone else can chime in on this one. When your endeavor is successful, you should upload panoramic video so I can see how it looks please & thank you.

Unfortunately, the map archive for halomaps hasn't been updated in over 4 years, so you might not be able to upload to halomaps anymore. Either way, very excited for this release!!!

Except it is 2019, this website hasn't been updated in over 5 years, has an outdated stack & 1 person moderating it. Doesn't sound very "stuck up" to want a better community for Halo modders & players. Edited by Nickster5000 on Aug 11, 2019 at 09:59 PM

What is Halo Custom Edition? ( www.haloce.org ) Jul 10, 2019 03:55 AM
(Total replies: 3)
Hey everyone! I was thinking of a way to contribute to this community, as I feel that Sector 09 wasn’t enough. I have a bunch of projects (as you might have read on my release thread a while back) that requires too much work for me to complete in this day and age. So I got thinking, and I realized my contribution was under my nose this entire time… I am currently majoring in Computer Science (I graduate in December, woo hoo!), so a big thought on my mind is landing a job when I graduate. I am a firm believer that the web browser and mobile applications is going to be a big part of the future. Now isn’t a better time to get into Web Development, and learn serious skills like designing websites and building full stack web applications. I have been learning HTML / CSS / Javascript, Front End frameworks like React & Redux, Node JS on the Backend, and other backend frameworks like Express. The answer to my contribution is in the form of a website / web applications, of course! Now let me ask you a question… When someone asks you “What is Halo Custom Edition?” or, you try your best to explain what Halo Custom Edition is to your friends… how do you explain it? After pondering these questions, I came to the realization that this community has two problems:
Now I get to the point of this post, and my solution to this problem: http://www.haloce.org I have built a simple landing page that is designed to “describe” what Halo CE is, how to install it for those folks who are new to the community, and to have a central HUB for the entire community. If you follow the link above, you will see this landing page in full (note, that it is not responsive yet. I will make a pass to make it mobile friendly). You’ll probably also notice a lot of Gibberish on the pages (This is Latin text placeholder, called Lorem Ipsum) and you’ll also notice ugly empty images (that display 1900x1080 rather than a pretty image). This is why I am writing this post today. Have you ever gone through the same spiel that I have, not having any ideas to contribute to the community? Or not having the technical experience to make a map? For those who want to contribute something to the community, I ask for you to help me replace the Lorem Ipsum text with actual content that clearly describes Halo Custom Edition. I also ask for you to help me create or find images to replace the ugly 1900x1080 images. I also want to reach out to the mappers / modders of this community, and direct you to this page: www.haloce.org/sector09/sector09.html Now, I am not trying to toot my own horn with Sector 09, but I am very intimate with the project (I made it, for those who are unaware), so it was easier for me to build a sample “Project” page. I wanted to come up with a proof-of-concept “Project” page, and build project pages for those in the community that are deserving of one. So I ask of you, the modders / mappers to take a look at the Sector 09 page, critique it, and think of other content that a “Project” page might need. I thank you for taking the time to read this post, and to contribute to this website for the fellow community! -Nickster5000

You are more than welcome to use it however you wish. If you want to integrate your own style into it, go for it! Other than getting some time to go through some of my other stuff and release it, I think my days in Halo are over.

Quote: --- Original message by: Masters1337 Question! How much of the map is using ripped content? As we start working on SPV3 firefight, I'd love to do a version of this with custom assets and stuff we had from Oddball, with your permission. Would we be looking at just needing to replace textures, or is geometry extracted as well outside of scenery. Textures are all ripped, geometry is completely custom. There are some files with ripped geometry, however (as background scenery, the tall skyscrapers for example) Edited by Nickster5000 on Jun 16, 2019 at 12:34 AM

[RELEASE] Sector 09 RAW (3D models, docs, etc.) Jun 12, 2019 09:44 PM
(Total replies: 7)
I have received a request for source for Sector 09, so I figured I'd publicly release it (I know, its been long overdue.) Sector09 RAW Release - ALL BSP's - Nickster5000 NOTE: Files preceded in _ means that they are important. I marked them with this underscore as I was going through the files. Description: Included in this release is ALL of the iterations that sector09 went through from 2012, all the way to its release in 2016. Included in this release is the following directories, and notes about what this directory consists of: ***bitmaps -RPG_Rips and RPG_Rips2 should contain all of the bitmaps that I ripped from halo 3 ODST. NOTE: SOME OF THE FILES WILL HAVE BROKEN REFERENCES. I DID NOT RENAME ANY OF THE FILES, but they may be in different locations. I recommend that you rip your own version of the Halo 3: ODST bitmaps using adjutant to suit your needs. ***misc -Contains files that were used in showing sector09, and other documentation used in its development. ***sector09-2012 -The very first iteration of sector09. I could not find the original... however, I found two animation demos that I created on the original model, which should suffice. ***sector09-2014 -Old sector 09 build. I believe one of these didn't even make it ingame. Don't remember a whole lot about these files, so have fun playing around with them! ***sector09-2014-b -Another old sector 09 build. More files that I made for sector 09. Don't remember a whole lot about this one either, so have fun playing around!!! ***sector09-ce3-2015 -Second to most significant file in this pack. This was the demo that was showcased at CE3 2015. ***sector09-2016 -Most significant file for sector09's release. Contains the version of the BSP that was in the final release, as well as some updates to it. xtra -Extra files that I found laying around. README.txt - this file. DOWNLOAD: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ko4teqmqoj3x6ic/sector09-raw.zip?dl=1 Please let me know if there is anything missing. Enjoy! -Nickster5000

okay. Thank you for the free complimentary bump, my friend. I have centralized my entire release onto a website. I am currently working on getting the downloads together. Once they are all together, I will notify this thread one more time, notifying everyone that all downloads for all projects are available. -Due to bootstrap vulnerabilities, I had to take the website down. I will rebuild it with a different framework and link it when it is live- Edited by Nickster5000 on Jun 2, 2019 at 04:47 AM Edited by Nickster5000 on Jun 2, 2019 at 04:47 AM

I think it is in Microsoft’s best interest to release some form of editing kit. Doesn’t necesairly have to be released right away with the game. In any regard, people will have an interest in reverse engineering the game, so might as well give them what they want.

Good to hear from you too OpsY. Sent you a DM. Also, time for more releases. I have a couple in this bunch. Let's start with the pretty ones with images. ==================================================================================== Playground A map I generated with heightmaps. Was trying to make some sort of campaign / RP map out of it. I think it looks pretty cool.  Download Type: sv_map ==================================================================================== Forest This was a definite RP map work in progress. I didn't like the terrain after a while, so I stopped working on it. I think there's still good stuff that can be scrapped from it:       Download Type: sv_map ==================================================================================== Salvationb6 This was for a Terminator event I was working on. Features this cool prisoner transport ship I made from Terminator: Salvation   Download Type: sv_map ==================================================================================== Ships These are the drive-able versions of the ships from a while back. Includes the original map with the ships as well.     Download Type: map_name ==================================================================================== Project Zulu: This was my "prized possession" project back from 2011. This archive includes a bunch of cool SP maps to play. Note: The maps with the "_hub" prefix are linked. To play this multimap demo, load bg_hub. Remember my Project Zulu Trailer from nearly 8 years ago? This is exactly what this release contains, plus more maps. Download Type: map_name ==================================================================================== Celer Exile V3: The long awaited, complete sequel to the series. B5 is the best version to use for Role-Playing potential, for those who still RP out there. Download Type: sv_map ==================================================================================== Enjoy!
