Halo Tablet Companion

[staticchanger]

This was a project I started working on last year, I never finished it, but I had all the values pulled and displayed. Any thoughts or ideas? I may get a working demo together just as an example of how cool a concept this is. Maybe Glass will implement stuff like this on the 360. Anyway a picture is worth 1000 words. This is the basic concept:

Not really useful for me but definitly nifty ^^

So essentially ATLAS (http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Atlas/#/?section=Atlas) for Halo1.

Having the dedi support spectators with this would be ideal. Or just something that beats gamespy's really basic game query protocol

Basically, extend the information returned on a server query, have the program query the server every second or so.

I'd use it. If it was available on a secondary monitor, not a tablet screen. This has the same problem as GamePlan: It's a useful thing, but inconvenient. If I'm playing a PC game I don't want to have to look at a tablet when I have a gigantic secondary monitor that could be used instead.

Oh snap, I heard something like that was in the works. Guess that shows how much I keep up. Yeah pretty much that. I had a semi working version that pulled up in a window, you could drag it over to a secondary no problem.

Go for secondary monitor support.

That.

Would be interesting to extends Halo's engine to mirror a secondary camera to the second monitor, giving an overhead view of the map.

Sweet I already have that semi working. I have some old code from last year. You'll recognize it, it uses the VAmemory.dll. I'll mess around with it some more and send you a copy.

If you can get that working, it just might be as useful as the feature from World in Conflict where you can output the tactical map to another monitor.

I'm somewhat suprised at all this effort from the community is going toward everything except improving the netcode.

Not that I'm trying to bash this project. looks legit tbh
