, but if you want more information... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dotnet_framework

I used gimp of course. I know this might sound weird.... but if I can't do a favor can you make the bitmap and send it to me? From my basic bitmap knowledge I can assume that it might not be that hard to export it as a bitmap file

do what XlzQwerty1 said and it will work

the bitmap's size must be power of 2 dimension.

and this is how you know that tool is making bitmap(error(s) is (are) in red:
Micro$oft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Micro$oft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

C:\Program Files\Micro$oft Games\Halo Custom Edition>tool bitmaps new
Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'
### wutisthis.tif
==> !!WARNING!! bitmap with greater than 1-bit alpha being compressed as DXT1 <=
=
skipping bitmap with non-power-of-two dimensions (#800x#800#1)

C:\Program Files\Micro$oft Games\Halo Custom Edition>

folder called "new" is in data folder and tool will create folder called "new" into tags folder.

and what program did you use to edit the bitmap? if you used (micro$oft) paint, then that is the problem. you should get GIMP (better) or paint.net(more easy to use)

Can I use cmd to make it a bitmap file or should I use tool? I want to know what's the command for cmd.

you will always use tool to make things (E.G. bitmaps) for halo ce. when you type "tool build-cache-file [pathtolevel]" you will tell to tool to make cache (.map) file. if you type "tool" to cmd, it will list all commands (for tool).
if you would like to make bitmaps you would type "tool bitmaps bitmaps levels\test\tutorial\bitmaps" to cmd
this bitmap extractor should work

Halo CE General Discussion » Graphics glitches + Crashes Dec 27, 2012 07:17 AM (Total replies: 25)

So that leads me to two alternative theories: Harddrive's broken or I've got a virus. I've run virus scans with Windows's built-in anti-virus and AVG though, so a virus is doubtful. I've also used my old/dad's computer to scan any suspicious files that I might download with Kaspersky.

So harddrive's the other likely culprit other than the graphics card. And harddrives are hard to replace when you've got a ton of programs installed and files that you've spent weeks downloading. Need to work out how to get Windows 8 over to a new HDD without losing everything. (Of course I could just partition it all but quite difficult when the partitions could be at risk of corruption)
...


you can clone hard disks with clonezilla, here is tutorial:

http://clonezilla.org/show-live-doc-content.php?topic=clonezilla-live/doc/03_Disk_to_disk_clone

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is good anti-malware software

also, do NOT ever have 2 or more Anti-Virus programs at same time, it is very bad idea.
i am not sure what you mean by "Windows's built-in anti-virus", but if you mean windows security essentials, remove it, but if you mean windows defender, it is not anti-virus,
it is anti-malware program, so it does not matter.

He's already said it's almost certainly not caused by the OS, so your point is nullified.

I'm on Windows 8, but I doubt that's the issue as I did manage to play Halo for a while without any issues for about a week. Then for unknown reasons, it decided to glitch out.


micro$oft might have released an update that messed up something. it would not be the first time they did...

Eliteslasher, this isn't a Windows 8 opinions thread. As has been said, including in my OP, Windows 8 is almost certainly not the issue here.

This thread is concerning the issue that I can't play Halo without weird glitches.

In response to the others, I've got the latest versions of DirectX.

The annoying thing is I do check things like that often, so it can't be something simple like that. I wish it was something simple that I'd missed.


have you reinstalled halo? it might fix the problem. and i recommend to install windows 7, because it is proven to be quite stable windows? stable? hahaha and that it can run halo, without problems. and because the way micro$oft fixes bugs: they release bad product and then they will sometimes release updates, which makes it look like that micro$oft would actually care.

Try the startup arguement: -vidmode 640,480,60
When it loads and if it loads properly, change the resolution to one that you know works.

OR

Try the startup arguement: -safemode
To see if it loads at all

OR

Try a DirectX 9c package: (edit: By default, Windows Vista tries to emulate DirectX 9 with its built-in library, the real thing should clear up most problems)

Halo CE General Discussion » Custom or Combat and client is older than server Dec 8, 2012 01:47 PM (Total replies: 3)

there is no halo pc (Combat Evolved) content on this site. you should reinstall halo Combat Evolved and update it. i'm not 100% sure, but i think that "haloded.exe" is for halo pc.

Halo Custom Edition is free "addon" for halo pc (Combat Evolved for pc) you can download it at here: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=410 when it askes for product key, type your halo pc product key. then go to your Halo Custom Edition's directory (I.E. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition) and follow this tutorial , if you don't have "haloceded.exe", you should update your game by runing "haloupdate.exe" which is in same folder.

Halo Custom Edition DOES NOT replace halo pc, it has its own folder.

your globals.globals doesn't specify falling damage or multiplayer information; get new globals.globlas or fix your current tag.

also, have you set your ui.scenario's type to main menu?
and you can't have any spawn points on your ui(.scenario)

Edit 0: HEK+ some times messes up and may corrupt tags, (it is not the case now) do NOT overwrite your tags.

i expected a script or variable definition
check that your variables and/or dormant(scripts that wait for wakeing) scripts are correctly set. I.E. all used variables and dormant scripts must exsist. (E.G. foo + 7, will fail if you do NOT have variable called "foo"). in Blam! Script variables are called "globals". also it would help a lot if you would post your script... you can't *always* use extracted scripts, without editing them first.

you have open edges (=holes) on your map, and halo does not like that. you must seal those holes. you can import [map name here].wrl to gmax / 3ds max, (it is in your Halo Custom Edition dir), it shows where your map has holes.

i think you need to run it on vista compatibility mode, so right click on halo2.exe (or what halo 2 vista is called, can't remember), go to tab called "compatibility" and then select "vista compatibility mode" from the drop down list.
