Exception error on loading flycam.

[=sw=warlord]

So, i decide to make a video for yoyrats new map and as soon as i load the flycam tool halo exceptions on me.
Anyone have any ideas on what i can do?
Because without panning around the map there isnt all that much i can do to make a semi decent video.

debug_camera_load?

I recommend you retry saving (debug_camera_save), saving stores the camera coordinates in the root directory\camera.txt , these maybe have become corrupt or just non-existent (you deleted it)

So yeah, try to save then load.


If its a 3rd party app, its probably because the version of Halo your running is unsupported by the app.

I've always had to use 3rd party apps as i never got that savy with debug commands.
Im guessing theres no way to force the application to work?
It would be nice to record all the videos with no hud and in letterbox mode.

Well, whats the app called?

You can do most things via console, show_hud 0, cinematic_show_letterbox 1, other fancy tricks too.

If I am guessing correctly, you are using a flycam tool designed for the Halo CE 1.07 executable. That doesn't work anymore with 1.08.

For more information on what applications work on the 1.08 executable, check out this thread here, made by and compiled by supersniper:

Limited, I'm shocked you didn't offer him the suggestion of Skys the Limit. You made it, didn't you?

=sw=warlord, there is an app called Skys The Limit (^) that has the functions for Letterbox, no Hud, Dev Mode, and Console..Which is all you would need.
Just download it here: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4049
Once it's downloaded, extract it and open the .exe file. Then start up halo, press the key with the flag on it (windows key) to minimize halo, then check the following items in Skys the Limit:
Dev Mode
Console
No HUD
Show letterbox

Then open halo again from the taskbar, press the tidle (~) key, and type:
debug_camera_save
debug_camera_load
Then press enter. Then hold down the scroll (middle button) on your mouse, and move. W is forward. S is backwards. A is left. D is right. R is up. F is down. Scroll the middle button backwards to go faster, forward to go slower. Hold down the middle button as long as you are moving the camera.

Hope this helped,

You can do that all with plain old dev mode. All you need is alldev.


show_hud 0 for no HUD.
Don't remember the letterbox command at the moment.

cinematic_show_letterbox <boolean>

Don't remember the letterbox command at the moment.
Gosh, does no one hear read any posts anymore?

Arightwizard, yeah I made that along with Skyline, I also believe my version of Flycam still works for 1.08.

Also the version of my app on HaloMaps.org is the old version. Theres a new version, 1338 that fixed issues.

Oh really, Limited? That one on halomaps was the only one I could find. I still use it all the time, though.
