Strings.dll With New Message of the Day URL!

[TheGhost]

If you drop this new Strings.dll into your HaloCE root directory and replace the old one, you should see a new message of the day when you go to the HaloCE lobby. If this becomes used enough I think it would be awesome to frequently update the message of the day with useful information and announcements.

Special thanks to Timo for changing the URL in the dll.

I don't see why it wouldn't, but will this work with any UI?

Would it be possible to make the message of the day display text from a webpage? Because that would be an excellent way to change the message without having to download a whole new strings.dll file thingy.

That's what this does. It gets the text from:

http://www.h2vista.net/motd/haloce_motd.txt

And yes, it will work with any UI.

is this "vista compatable"?

[Edward Elrich]

Do you mean H2Vista or Windows Vista? If it's H2Vista, we'll have to wait for the game. If it's Windows Vista, then yes, I would assume it is, since the game engine for Halo is no different than the one for any other version of Windows.

You don't have to download a new Strings.dll every time there is an update, it reads this:

http://www.h2vista.net/motd/haloce_motd.txt

All you have to do to update the MOTD is upload a new version of that text file.

what i mean is that due to directx 10, there was an emergency "update" that changed some things in the .exe and the strings.dll files. Basically I'm asking if you used the new strings.dll or the patch strings.dll


Dur! No I'm not asking if it is H2V compatable...

[TheGhost]

I'm using Windows Vista if that answers your question.
