Getting the pictures:

Step 1: Getting the Files

• Get Yelo
  • Download here or here
  • Create a new folder, then unzip the Yelo files to it
• Get Xored ETM Trainer Launcher 2.2
  • Download here or here
  • Unzip the folder

Step 2: Fixing Xored

• Open the "Xored.ini" file in Notepad
• Find these line of code:

# 1 trainer path only 
Trainers_Path = "C:\Trainers" 
#Trainers_Path = "C:\Trainers"

• Replace it with this:

# 1 trainer path only 
Trainers_Path = "E:\Apps\mini\Trainers" 
#Trainers_Path = "E:\Apps\mini\Trainers"

• Save and exit

Step 3: Installing the Files to Your Xbox

• FTP to your Xbox
• Go to E:\Apps\
  • Transfer over the "mini" folder you unzipped
• Go to E:\Apps\mini\Trainers
  • Transfer over all the files from the Yelo download you unzipped
• Go to E:\TDATA\4D530064\
  • Transfer "config v1.5.inc" to this folder.

Step 4: Fixing the Auto Update

• FTP to your Xbox
• Go to E:\TDATA\4D530064\
  • Rename the "$c" and "$u" folders to "z$c" and "z$u"
  • When you want to play the new maps again rename the folders back to how you had them.

Step 5: Taking the Pictures

• Turn on/Reboot your Xbox
• Start Halo 2 with Yelo:
  • Go to "Applications" (depending on dashboard)
  • Go to "Xored Trainer Launcher"
  • Go to "Halo 2"
  • Go to "Yelo"
  • Make sure "Developers Mode" is enabled (I wouldn't suggest having to many other options enabled at once)
  • Press the "Start" button
• Load your modded map
• Use these controls to get to a good spot for a picture

• REMEMBER. You have to only have one controller plugged in for Yelo to function correctly.
• After you have found a good picture position, press the white and back button at the same time to take a picture. You can pretty much take unlimited pictures.
• Take about 20-30 good pictures. We will filter out the bad ones later.

Step 6: Getting the Pictures

• Set up your xbox for FTP
• Download Xbox Raw Screenshot Deswizzler (By Detox, my bestest friend =)
• Copy the pictures on your xbox to your computer:
  • Click the "Settings" tab
  • Make sure the username and password are both "xbox"
  • Enter your Xbox IP address
  • Go to "File"
  • Go to "Connect"
  • Cylce through all the pictures, check the ones you want to keep
  • Then go to "File"
  • Go to "Save Checked As"
  • Save the pictures to your desired folder

Step 7: Adding the Pictures to Your Post

• Upload your pictures to a free and reliable picture hosting website:
  • Go to ImageShack® - Hosting
  • Click "Browse..."
  • Click "host it"
  • Copy down the "Direct link to image" towards the bottom into notepad
  • Do this to all of your pictures
• Adding the pictures to your post:
  • Click the image button:
  • Copy down one of the "Direct link to image" URLs in your notepad.
  • Hit "Ok"
  • Do this to all your pictures

k, there's my super nub-friendly tutorial for getting pictures. I hope this helps everyone who doesn't post pictures. Good luck my friends.

nice tut man i give it an A+

[pokastar111]

Nice tut. *thanks given*

[Saphire Spartan]

you forgot to make a $S directory in your tddata - *064

won't work, it says can't find the $S folder

[Zone 117]

I've never had to do that, and I have raw screen shots on my Xbox right now. Maybe you were using an old version of Yelo.

[brunnj092]

i did exactly everything it said and it didnt work for me anybody got any ideas

[Shoot3r101]

I beleive someone else already posted a tutorial about this.

[SapperThwack]

I got a problem, when I get in the Xored launcher, every time I try to press "a" or "start" or whatever to get to the Yelo menu, it always just goes black for a second then goes back to the "Pick your Game" menu. Any ideas? Maybe I wasnt supposed to transfer the whole folder but just the files..

[Zone 117]

That happens sometime if you don't do step 4, or don't transfer over the "config v1.5.inc" files to E:\TDATA\4D530064\

[SapperThwack]

LOLZ I just found the coolest thing. I was just walkin' around on Cairo Station with Yelo on and I pressed Left Thumbstick (Crouch) and pressed "x" and "y". It comes up with this wierd message:

Call 610-Hot-Louis for a hot and s*xy chat.
Only 10 cents a minute
Must be 18 years or older to call.

This is ingame text, so you have to repeatedly press either crouch, x, or y for the message to be continuous.

What the freakin' #311 does it mean?? An easter egg or something, besides the literal meaning?

You gotta try it Zone!

[TomAss]

very nice. Thank you

[SapperThwack]

im going to use this tommrow once im back at my house and have my xbox...

that way i can take pics of my mappack in progress, im making another invisable one except everything is going to be inisable unlike the old one where there were a select few things visable and then ill work on the weapon affects, but probably not the gay little circle things...i HATE those, they've gotten really old really fast, everytime a pro modder makes a ****ing map they have them...it pisses me off..

and oh **** a cat just broke my window...****ing *******..

and i mite try and add in some extra things too the maps, like things sort of like the bridge on containment for nightwinder 2 except it will be invisable, perhaps i should make one where you can see just that that way you can actually bask in it like a wet fart...

[tokenwhiteguy555]

do you have to make a new folder or somthin

[SiK GambleR]
