With this you can use the old 1.07 or 1.08 executable but play on 1.09 servers! Meaning you can use all your old tools/programs. Note that most fixes of 1.09 were server side anyway.

Watched the video, and thats pretty sweet. So now I can use yelo? :D

Bit of a work around. What happens if you make a server with this client, it still has the vulnerabilities that 1.07 had?

I like 1.08 because it also has the no cd.

Thanks for this; Halo was so ugly without Yelo. Is it compatible with PC or is it CE only?

supersniper
August 21st, 2008, 02:27 PM
Um dude there was only one released version...
Also what you do is download the haloce and pc 1.07 .exe then start up with that .exe. then once in game use console and type in version 1.08 or version 1.80ce for CE. Then there you go you can use any 1.07 app and play on any 1.08 server.

Just a question are all the server fixes in 1.08 fixed if I use this version changer. Because for me to use my apps I have to load up 1.07 and that still needs the CD and doesn't have the boom fixes. Looks like I'm installing your patches omega.

Note: Version Changer only changes the version numbers used. It doesn’t patch the actual bugs/exploits in older versions.

It doesn't patch the exploits. But they're all server exploints anyway (?). So unless your hosting a "0 ping" server, you have nothing to worry about.

You need to load up the 1.07 .exe file. Not the 1.08 .exe file. Then open up your app then before you go to multiplayer change the verison to 1.08. That is how it's done.

Still not working! :mad:
Am I not supposed to put that in my HCE file location?

I downloaded the version changer, put it in my HCE file location.
Then I downloaded that 1.07.613, and put it in the HCE file location.
Then i typed in the console:
version 1.07
I make my own game, no yelo battery menu. I try to use FOV enhancement, nothing happens. And when going into to 3rd person, it either does nothing, or crashes the game.

And sometimes, it shows me the halo PC games, then when I type in version 1.08, it shows the halo PC 1.08 severs, but not the CE ones.

Omega
August 23rd, 2008, 03:44 PM
1) Download 1.07.613
2) Start the 1.07.613 exe you just downloaded
3) When you type "version" it should say that your EXECUTABLE VERSION is 1.07 !!!!!!!
4) Type 108ce to change version. NOT 108!! Use the CE postfix when playing on CE.

O..this might sound really stupid, but I was using the v 1.08, typing into version changer "version 1.07" :embarrassed:. Oops..

The yelo menu still won't show up, even when I make my own game! (I'm not using xfire or dx tweaker)
And now my console and HUD are near to the center of the screen, not the edges.

I though you meant use 1.08, and use the version changer to make it 1.07 So I could somehow join 11.08and use apps. ...(Bit of a stupid mistake)

And bitterbanana's 3p/FOV hack works fine now, but yelo's menu won't show up.

are you in-match trying to press F7 or are you just in the main menu? I thought it wasn't working until I joined a game. I also redownloaded Battery anyway, just to be sure.

Needles

I thought it's just activate when I made game or joined one, I downloaded mine from the yelo website, and there were no readmes or anything that said how to open the menu/what key to press.

Every time I type in 'version 1.08' and go to load the servers, I get Halo PC servers. I got the right .exe, because I got it from Supersniper, and when that didn't work, I tried the one Bacon posted. Both showed Halo PC Servers, what'd I do wrong? I think I might have gotten the wrong strings, if Halo PC's are different from CE's.
Nevermind, I didn't put CE after 1.0x.

..at the risk of continuing to veering this thread off topic, that all caps luckmeister was the real one afaik. the server was the {its} tampa server and the cd hash recorded while advancebo was there matches the one I had in some old server logs from close to a year ago (the old face clan servers, old {its} servers).

Anyhoo, back on topic.. great app :D However, I still can't get widescreen mode to work w/ Yelo Battery release 3 even after rereading the whole thread. I copied the modded strings.dll file and ran halo (haloce107.exe) with a switch ( -vidmode 1680,1050,60 ) to get it to run at my desktop resolution but I don't know if maybe i'm doing anything else wrong. I've confirmed that the modified 'd3d9.dll' file yelo consists of is in my 'halo custom edition' folder. Other than that, everything else I've thrown at it works. Thanks again :D

Yeah, I ran the DirectX web installer/updater off of Microsoft's website a couple of weeks ago when trying to use the 1.08ce sightjacker. As for xfire, I tried it while it was off. I'll probably try reinstalling HCE, updating it to 1.07 (with a custom ui so it doesn't ask me to update past that) just to verify that yelo isn't the problem.


On an unrelated note: Wow, cracked hce 1.00 has 500+ players at the moment. Sure they're all pirates and there's like one or two dedicated servers, but I wish 1.08ce had those kinds of numbers daily. =(

Version changer has some bugs. Sometimes it messes up and sets it to the lowest quality video settings. Normally restarting Halo CE fixes it. That's the only reason I got rid of it and decided 1.07 apps wasn't worth the problems.

I think that there should be a version changer in OS that way there is no reason SPV2 shouldn't use OS.
Well, it will still be 1.08 exe. I havent played on 1.00 servers but with my version changer I went and tried 1.00, theres a TON of european servers. I get like 124 ping or less so I'll use 1.00 servers more, however I will only use 1.08 exe.

Copy both strings.dll and versionchanger.dll to your halo folder. Overwrite the original strings.dll with the new one.
Nope, now it says strings.dll is missing when I try to start up CE. It won't even load.

Well, he (Masters) said that having it use OS would make all the people not using 1.08 unable to play it. But if OS had a version changer, then all the people who play on different versions could just change the version to join their servers.

From what I heard, the people on 1.00 who don't have legitimate copies need to play on special cracked servers which don't check the CD hash. If they tried to change their version to 1.08, the servers would just refuse them.

It works fine with version changing.
It just fuxes up the settings.
it removes all decals and even when you switch it back to normal the decals still don't show.
I think he accidentally editing something in the strings.dll file.

Damn thats some funky stuff there. He basically edited the strings.dll to recognize his command, it then switches to his own dll and does the editing of the version and gamespy credentials etc.

When I replace the Strings.dll file, it messes up CE. It still runs, but not right. It acts like I have a super-low quality video card, and parts of the menu are messed up. Have a look:

Same, but since i made this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqyi4o65Szk) i never had that problem again (10 months ago) and i play alot of haloce. Notice the flying HUD at 1:43,2:18,3:11,etc
i got a kick otta that.

For PC it should work for any version higher (or equal) to 1.02. For CE it should work with any version.

So it is indeed version independent.

Are there any plans to have it automatically change the version to a specified one on startup? Currently I have to type "version 1.09ce" every time I start up CE.

Would it work if I used the -exec shortcut argument?

Throw the command into your init.txt. The game automatically runs the commands in the init and should change the version automatically when you start your game up.

Since when did haloce have a 1.04 version? :haw:
If I missed it, send me the 1.04 haloce.exe but AFIAK there is no 1.04 for ce.

Are you sure you copied both the strings.dll AND versionchanger.dll? Normally if the version changer is loaded correctly it will disable that error message.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I THINK 1.04 is as high as non-legit copies of the game go. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a good number of servers on that version.

Goemitar's version changer has worked really well for me to access the many different versions of server software floating around.

However, recently I've discovered some servers with the version "01.00.00.0609" which is not connectable using any of the versions offered in plugin. These servers are titled "Good Ol'" (e.g. "Good Ol' Snipers+CTF+ Large Maps" @ 74.91.124.97:2302) and report to have users on them, so clearly some people run this version. Yet I can find no way to enter.

Does anyone know of a way to extend the versions offered by the plugin? I'd really like to try these out.

Thanks in advance.
