Someone should remake slient cartographer in MineCraft.

Microsoft/343 if you can read this, please I was Halo Anniversary and Halo 4 for PC with tools to make maps! (mmmk, one can dream =))

Posting this from my second monitor

Thinking about uploading the Halo 2 Beta to Remnants FTP servers... Seeing as how halo 2 is dying, I guess this might motivate some people to start doing shit again. Plus my program for the beta is almost complete...

[Click16]

Even more happiness: Got the cracked XBE for the beta, now i don't need the loader

......uploading the Halo 2 Beta to Remnants FTP servers.....

and source? I'm wanting to make a tempoary scnr placement nuller (within entity) for quicker bsp loading but can't make head nor tail of how meta reading works from entity's source.
(I'm figuring this should be quite easy since chunk count offsets are constant)

Literally just got back from a half month vacation. Much needed time with old friends away from responsibility. Time to get crackin on School, Cross Country, Tech, and Valiant.

Oh you thought I was talking about my program... I mean the actual beta that you play on xbox. Im gonna release it to the public. It's time for more things to go public, so halo modding can last just a tad bit longer... And i will release the source to my program. If you want to use my beta map library, go ahead, just give proper credit.

How does one use the Halo 2 Beta?

It's not going to change anything...

This.

Also, cool that your releasing it.

What exactly do you mean, If you mean like loading it up on your xbox, there are 2 methods:
First you would need a debug and use a program I made that forces the game to load a map.
or you can use the cracked XBE and select xbox live then go to arranged game and select the map and start it.

Is rendering(shading/shadowing/lighting/etc.) any different in the beta?

Tech

Expound.

Tech

Expound.

Since you asked so nicely, it's short for Technology Student Association. I'm Regional President and it's my Senior year so I feel like actually being responsible...

I've got a 6v6 Roman Candle War happening this Friday night, hopefully 'twill be EPIC.

[DemonicSandwich]

The last couple weeks I averaged a 15:30 two-mile.
Yesterday I beat my best two-mile time by nearly 30 seconds, scoring a 14:28.

This morning I confirmed it by running a 14:28 two-mile again.
I magically shaved an entire minute in a week.

[DoorM4n]

Holy shit, nice job demonich!

Finally getting my jetta! Cost me a fortune but it will last me almost 10 years, maybe even past that

Probably a better investment than drugs :p

As a VW Tech, you can count on 2-3 solid months of good use

JK. what year? 2012?

Every bitmap type except for AY8 is supported in Beta. I can't figure out AY8 though, it seems as if the height is being cut and I don't know why...

[troymac1ure]

Width will be 1/2 as each byte represents two 4-bit pixels. So if you are displaying it with full width, height will be cut in 1/2 and the bitmap will look strange.

I've been nominated for a BAFTA!
(for those that don't know its like a British Oscar)
