Do you guys still have a link to version 3.0 because to me that one was better. After i got the other ones, ce got more laggy and have this weird outline....

"Increased maximum animations from 500 to 2048. Crazy stuff*. I dare someone to use all 2048. Can I get a Challenge Accepted?"

oh gawsh, i like this. :3

Is this after you updated?

I'm only guessing here, but Kornman probably changed the pp coding and messed it up so that VISR's run through polies rather than outlines. Dunno though.

Can i have installer for version 3.0? I deleted it by mistake. :3

i still have the installer for 3.0 and 3.1. i could upload a copy if its okay with korn, i didnt see any links to older versions on the homepage.

Crashed my CE on startup. *Goes into corner and cries*
GRAHH I WANNA PLAY CMT A50

I would be happy if you did. The other ones kinda screwd up my ce and mad it slower.

Yeah, I got a little bit more framerate lag than with the old one, but not much. The framerate performance should be boosted a little, but it is still a good update.

I like it.

Nevermind got os to stop tons of lag. :)

Fixed it by reinstalling EVERYTHING. Related to CE that is.

Is OS supposed to install OS guerilla and sapien with everything else? I can't find them. :(

What is this increase supposed to mean?

some reasone for me VISR shows vehicles as red, Weapons as Green and all AI's Blue. Whats wrong?

Do you have HEK installed? it checks your registry if HEK is actually installed. Anyways, open opensauceIDE, pick cheape applier, it will generate your OSHEK. Then, you have to create your own cheape.map (grab the sourcecode from the google code page, use the cheape_project in there) and after its compiled, place it in your HCE folder.

Read the .fx file in data\postprocess, it states all the colors in there, as well as getting the team color for units. You can re-write that file, then compile it into a postprocess of your own with whatever colors you want, etc.

I completely deleted and uninstalled everything in my halo folder, it was totally blank, then started again by installing Halo CE 1.00, then the 1.09 patch, then OS 3.03. Yet it still gets the gathering exception data message as soon as the start menu appears when i run halo. I'm not running xfire or any other programs for that matter. Any idea what's going wrong?

E: didn't actually reinstall PC, only CE, so imma try that.

...nope. Didn't work.

Yes, I have the regular HEK, and what do I set the output path to?
Edit: Never mind, I got it to work by running IDE as the system administrator.

Edit 2: OS_Guerrilla shows no option to make new project_yellow files. Wut?

What does OS IDE do? Is it a ripping tool for CDs?

Please proceed to the second half of my instructions; the part on compiling a cheape.map (there was a reason I told you to do that *sigh*)

Applies OS changes to HEK, compiles cheape.map which is used to explain to OSHEK what features exist and their tag layouts, and it has the beginings of tag extraction (although if you look at the source code, you'll notice its not actually setup yet) At the current time, you can use it to browse the files that make up maps for all the different halo games. Its quite a nice tool, but until the tag extraction is setup, I don't see normal users touching it much *shrug*

Don't know if anyone else is having this problem but OS has disabled ingame chat and the "you killed" messages for me.

I don't have that issue, but then I've been using a chatbox since before OS even came out, due to the vidmode issue with chat.

Try this: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=3373

Not the one I'm using, but I can't find the one I'm using for some reason. o.O

I do not have the time to try out OS3, but I am grateful that korn continues to supply the modding community with the necessary tools to keep this 10+ year old game running like new.


For the halo modding community, we thank you.

i really do hope that open sauce begins to open Microsoft's eyes to how dedicated the halo ce modding community really is. (maybe a new Hek based on the reach engine.) but its not likely to happen.

I have a question about a few OS features for the future? would it be possible to have any of the following?

-decals on non-bsp objects, such as bullet wounds and injuries

-separate first and third person firing sounds, so that a gun can sound different in third person than it would in first

I'm fairly certain adding seperate first and 3rd person sound effects aren't possible in a weapon firing effect, because while you can add SOUNDS, you can't designate them first or third person, like you can particles.

to further elaborate, you generally add sounds using the "parts" section of an effect tag, which gives you the option of many different tag types to be inserted into "events"

while this allows you to choose from locations (primary trigger for example), mode types (violent or nonviolent), and the atmospheric environment (such as underwater), there isn't an option for third or first person use like particles. go look for yourself if you don't believe me

it should be, but you'd have to program your own version (actually.. its plausable to make something SIMILAR with stock H1, it would just keep adding up to lag quite quickly, and not be as good. Mostly effects, fake projectiles, etc). H1PC pre-release beta came with all the rendering items in source files, this decal code might be useful to someone *shrug*

vs_1_1
dcl_position0	v0
dcl_color0		v4 
dp4 oPos.x, v0, c[0+0]
dp4 oPos.y, v0, c[0+1]
dp4 oPos.z, v0, c[0+2]
dp4 oPos.w, v0, c[0+3]
mov oT0.xy, v4
mov oD0.xyzw, c[10]
dp4 r8.z, v0, c[6+0]
min r8.z, r8.z, v4.w
mul r8.z, r8.z, c[6+3].x
slt oD1.w, r8.z, v4.w

There was more lines, but they where either commented out or blank... probably should of left the documentation lines in, but oh well, they where just headers. Seems readable enough to me without that though, just dont know Vertex Assembler's exact opcodes or registers (only SPARC assembler. This defiantly looks nicer than SPARC)




For sound, just scale them by distances, have multiple sounds go off, have them get more and more different the more the range goes, etc. I guess you could program it in if you really wanted *shrug*

With scripts, you can check if the certain weapon is their primary weapon, have all weapons use heat (so you can see when the trigger is pulled) have the OS command to see the heat, react, etc. If the player holding the gun is the local player, play a different sound compared to on client PCs, etc.. idk, doesnt seem really that worth it to me lol (mostly because I care about functionality, not all that other stuff lol)

Just one noob question, how do you turn off bloom?

You should refer to this I believe.
E: Jaz's reply was good but did not fix the issue of the "you killed" messages which still won't appear.

is the coding for "shader_transparent_generic" still in halo ce? the tag itself is still in guerilla's tag lists, and even opens up fully with all editable tag data. did gearbox disable this shader or break it for a reason?

id realllllllyyyy love to have this shader working in halo ce. tons of new shader effects (namely animated plasma) could be possible. the actual shader was in halo 1 xbox, and was used on the jackal shields and the shield doors in a50, and a lot more actually. would it even be possible to "re-enable" it?

Waffles, get online, ill show you what I was able to dig up about those shaders (which is very little lol, none of what I found seems useful..)

Kozakuu, after following whatever jaz said, do you have any text? (since you mostly seem to be worried about your kill text lol). Does the text work without OS? I know the FoV (at least did in 2.5) can change the text location, when I had it running at normal halo FOV, the text was in normal places, but when I changed it up it moved to my side (where OS defautly puts it for me) so I could see that possibly having an effect.. I'll try to locate where OS has the chat text moving code at some point if you cant fix it, but if your still having problems, post it in here.

Kirby, I am more than thrilled that you have stuck around with HaloCE. There are so many other endeavors that you could conquer, but your continued dedication to this community and its members is outstanding.

You have personally helped me in my early days, and I try to stay in touch with you as much as I can.

Thank you for all you have done,
you have the utmost respect from the halo community.

~Scott

Hey Kirby, you should make the AI better. Right? RIGHT?!

grrr....when I install OS, it tells me it can't find Halo CE via it's registry entry...any ides? Oh and if this has been answered before, I apologise in advance.

Did you install Halo:CE & HEK through the original installer?
