Modding Halo 2 For Beginners! **pics**

[ace13]

well i did put autp aim for sniper and it only works in zanizbar. Works for some reason.. But in any other map as soon as i get near the sniper it freezes.

...

i have no clue *-*

something with dothalo. .xml plugins are terrible. if you'd like to try a shot at Entity instead, go ahead. need questions, just ask me. =P im available.

[ace13]

Thanks.. but I just tried to open up Entity.. and CLR error: 80004005 came up does it have to do with net.frame? cause i already installed it.

[JHHSWRESTLER11]

Idk if you have figured it out but all you have to do is mae a second copy and put it somewhere likei put mine in a folder called unmodded maps

[ace13]

what are you talking about???

[timmyx413]

Softmodding doesn't work that way. You are editing the map tags/meta not the actual game or controller...

To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this

The application must also be compiled with debugging

<configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

rather than being handled by this dialog.

Is there any solution to this... Any suggestion is appreciated.

[AntimGrahan]

[Refrence]

Real Good Tut. I Used a Couple Times For The Dual Wieldable Always Forget that One. But Thanks

[kma316]

when i try to open the map for halo 2 vista i get hit by a JIT debuging someone please help

[Not Zachary88-2]

if you tried to open an H2V map with this H2X editing application then that's not very smart. =P

[kma316]

sorry new to it where can i get a h2v program

[Not Zachary88-2]

there are H2V tools out there. search.

but Grimdoomer has been doing some nice research into the Halo 2 Vista map structure, and he's figured out unicode (in-game text). he was working on a full-map-editor called Gravemind.

thanks for reminding me: i need to bug him about that. >_<

[FDSA]

how do i stop it from freezing when i go near the sniper? without unmodding it?

i keep getting an error message that says "there was an error while changing the value" and it pops up every time i change a value and i can't save, does anyone know how to fix this?

When changing values in Dothalo you cannot delete the number and have an empty box, you type what you want behind the current number and then delete the numbers you didn't add.
