September 22nd (ATTN: Tools)

1 year ago today I was able to see my family once again after nine long weeks of BCT.

1 year ago today I registered with h2vista.net and said hello once again to my internet peeps.


To celebrate today, I give you all beta releases of H2Kornman00 and H2Tool++.


Remember I said beta.
The modified H2Guerilla is still limited in some areas, for various reasons (ie the tag is unstable, gui doesn't fully work, etc), but this should give you PLENTY of leeway for making the most of your maps with new effects and other goodies. I got the sound tag editor playing the sounds now, but it won't play the WMA encoded sounds so I'm trying to get that setup for the final.
The modified H2Tool doesn't visually appear to be changed from end-user eyes, but some changes where made to the way it build map files for a future feature\tool. It doesn't include anything that the final will have (importing physics, sounds, etc).

Many things still in the works, but this is just to give you a small taste of the future.

To "install", just place them where ever you have a tags folder. They should be self contained as long as you have previously installed the editing kit that came with the game.

Enjoy.

I'm speechless.

This will help out a lot. Even though I can't play Halo 2 vista (stupid Intel gfx card) I can still learn to mod it. :D

U ARE GOD...

I know its only a beta but still this is sweet. Thanks a bunch kornman. Always out there for us. :)

Woo! Sound editing appears to be on its way! Maybe now I can actually get into this custom map craze...

Hey, check it out K0rn! It's your 2,000th post! September 22 just keeps getting bigger and bigger...

:haw:

awesome.


<3 korny :D

Holy Motherfucking shit. O.o

I can not believe this....Im speechless!

:D

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for releasing betas! :)

Bout time everyone else got this. Good job, looking foward to the changes.

Hi.

You're awesome.

Thanks.

You're amazing Korn.

Awesome.

This is a beta but there are some problems such as I can open some .model files but I can't open others. Same with some other file types as well.

I can't believe your actually releasing this korny. I had no faith left but you proved me and a lot of other people wrong (happily :) ).

Old. :p

I was only trying to quote everyone's effusive praise, not your silly whining. Gosh.

GJ Korn! :)

Bleh!

I don't know what to say...maybe I should swallow something.

:awesome:

Wow amazing.

All hail korn :D

What's the difference between h2tool and h2tool++? They seem to have the same options...

Read 1st post.

LMAO!

What are these ridiculous threats? I think your sarcasm meter is broken kid :awesome:

Ooo, I always took these apps for granted, it's nice to know that everyone else has access to them now. Great job, Korn! =)

Could someone please host a mirror for me? I'm getting a 403 error when I try to download the .rar

Korn, you just broke this thread

Try again.

Wait, why would it give a 403 error...oh well

Awesome will there be something like ahobo for h2v?

wow, after my long break away from map editing thats all i can say. i come here and find kornmans long awaited map editor, the "holy grail" of the halo 2 vista editing community

Nothing currently planned. That thing is a little beyond saving I'm afraid to say :-/

To fix that u just leave it alone, dont touch it

that worked for me. I also asked for MSN, so i closed it, it works.

WHAT!? This is fail... D: Now I have to start finishing up my render and collision model upgraders with the aid of using unlocked tools. Thanks allot kornhole.:mad:


j/k

But I am finaly going to be able to perfect my application now with more rigorous testing. Thanks big time.:)

I did. The web page says I am forbidden to access the files on the the server.

Thats funny, i have no idea, i just ignore it and mine works. Its just that it goes so slow loading things now. :(

But still, better than nothing.

WIN!

Should we make a separate topic for beta-bugs?

[sarcasm]
Didn't they teach you in BASIC to include a readme.txt file inside every archive you publish? I am starting to doubt the training of the military’s IT group
[/sarcasm]

Nice job.

sorry, I think I missed that class because I was in the back getting yelled at by my DS for falling asleep...ahh, push ups.
Actually, I have it setup currently so that you have to access the downloads directly from h2vista.net, so you would have had to been linked to the first post to download it. So I was assuming people were downloading it from the original source :rolleyes:

Just post any "bugs" you find in here.

A mirror with alternate archive type:

http://h2v.halomaps.org/images/icons/zip.gif H2 Guerilla Beta (H2Kornman00) 09/23/07 2.9MB Author: Kornman00
http://h2v.halomaps.org/images/icons/zip.gif H2 Tool++ Beta 09/23/07 3.1MB Author: Kornman00

I copied your first post and added it as a readme.

Drop and give me 30 private! <LOL>

Ok, lets start bugging:
1st thing i tried was changing the fov of the chief biped to more degrees, didn't see any change. Tried changing the max speed of a hog, didn't see any change.

Speaking of betas.......Dont hate/flame me....


What about H2Guerilla Radio?

For those that do not know, it was a tag extractor.

That isn't a bug. The warthog and biped tags are stored in the shared.map file. You would have to rename the vehicle tag and use that; just like halo 1 :/.

And just to let you know, by rename, he really means that you need it to be a new tag. So for all future cases, anything you change needs to be a different tag and in the globals you need to reference it... or something. I can't explore any of the cool stuff yet, but I will once I get my new heatsink.

Ok makes sense, that's a little different from CE i think. I'll give it a shot.

im not at home where I was testing it, but I still remember quite afew bugs I ran into..
I couldnt open .model tags, only create new ones
I couldnt open as many tag types as I could create new, but I was able to cheat the system by draging those tag types to the program as a .exe (I realy wish I could just drag em into the guerilla window like HCE..)
some tag types like sound just wouldnt open, and wouldnt have a error.



(DETAILS ON .model: they are what holds the guns on vehicles.. it could even be used to latch a turret on MCs back lol, it also picks levels of detail and stuff, and vehicle collections use a discriptive name that interacts with the model to choose what turret to latch on, like the warthog has default, and gauss.. wraith has multiplayer, and idk the other one for SP)

anyways.. has anyone looked at the .biped tags? lol, you can give them BOOST lmao

thanks korn, its realy entertaining to look around, and alot of the new features seem to be preaty avalible to HCE use with a few scripts to mimic the parts that it use outside the tags that where coded to H2

You're an inspiration to us all man... I'm going to make my beam rifle shoot needles

Or like in CE shoot masterchiefs with the AR :)

LoL its a test, we all want to have modded weapons....its fun through, try it. Although its retarded, its still funny. :D

:gtfo: and go back to halomods please

Bug report: I can't open ceratin tags at the same time - if I open a .scenario i have to close and reopen guerrilla to open a .scenario_structure_bsp.

This may because of my own experimenting - when I try to run tool (only tried lightmaps and build-cache-file) I get this error: "The system cannot find message text for message number 0x2336 in the message file for application."

thats because both of those tags have so many fucking fields that it wreaks havoc on the resource system

Are animations going to be doable soon?

While I do like that idea, I don't think people would actually do it :-/

you cant realy do that good a custom models in H2V last time I checked, so unless jahrain has a beter converter, you'll be left with vehicle mods, like mb attach 30 turrets to a warthog in the .model file lol

I don't steal. Especially from strangers :-/

It can be done.

---

You need to change all the directories just like in halo 1. Only for halo 2 the warthog's tags are in the shared map file along with all the other vehicles.
