_________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________

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:
Code:
# 1 trainer path only 
Trainers_Path = "C:\Trainers" 
#Trainers_Path = "C:\Trainers"
  • Replace it with this:
Code:
# 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

lthumb+start =  
lthumb+back = stillcam

while in devcam...

Y+dpad-left = primary light horizontal decrease 
Y+dpad-right = primary light horizontal increase 
Y+back =  
Y+start =  
Y+black = decrease primary light brightness 
Y+white = increase primary light brightness
  • 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:
      insertimage.gif
    • 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.

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.

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..

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\

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!

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...
