    are there any halo 2 vista map converters

    I feel like I should mention that the map header conversion tool was built for the sole purpose of being able to view H2V maps with Xbox tools like DotHalo. It doesn't convert maps into something playable. As far as I know, nothing on the level of Arsenic (which is a H:CE to H:Xbox conversion...

    Halo 2 Campaign Rebalance

    I did take a break from the project for a while, I've been much busier than I could have imagined since its inception. However, I have been working on it these past few weeks, mainly working on weapons, fixing some Metropolis bugs, and mapping changes that might take place in 05a_deltaapproach...

    Halo 2 fps issues with Project Cartographer

    I'm pretty sure the devs already know about the FPS issues (ones which are linked to Cartographer, anyway), I'm just not sure how close they are to fixing it. Personally, I just run keep 2 versions of Halo 2 Vista in separate directories, one with Cartographer and one without.

    [Released]Prisoner

    As far as I can tell he got bored and moved onto Doom + other stuff. I'm sure you could reach him on his Youtube channel if you so wished. I would definitely appreciate seeing your set of weapon models/tags as well. I've enjoyed a lot of your previous work.

    [Released]Prisoner

    Re: [WIP]Prisoner On the contrary, nothing quite says Halo 2 like haphazardly throwing a sword on in the middle of a map and calling it a day. And a metagame where the ideal strategy is to sword cancel up floors? Hell yeah. Rocks exist as a means of drawing players on top and the players on...

    [Released]Prisoner

    Re: [WIP]Prisoner Don't worry too much about the flamer and health packs. The flame thrower is just a byproduct of Gearbox being Gearbox, and would NOT be missed if it had no equivalent in Halo 2, especially in fucking Red 2. PP might be a decent replacement though, as it might make an...

    Sapien is being Sapien

    Yep. I've tested example, my own maps, and H2MT scenarios. All compile just fine. None work with Sapien. Compatibility was the first thing I tried (its already my default solution for dealing with ancient HPC software). No luck. It should be noted that it worked just fine without compatibility...

    Sapien is being Sapien

    Whenever I launch Sapien, the upper left loading screen pops up without any other windows. Once its done, the loading screen disappears and nothing else appears. Sapien shows up as an icon on my taskbar, but that's it; no other visual evidence appears that would confirm its actually running...

    Dedicated Server Coop

    Good stuff, its always good to see people taking an interest in coop. I think H2V being the only Halo game on PC with ANY kind of functioning online coop in a complete campaign (HO has decent sync, but no actual singleplayer) will be a point of interest for many future community members. BTW...

    Halo 2... 11 Years Later

    I definitely resonate with what was said regarding development of the game, as what was said is sort of a converse to our PC port: originally, the developers were hindered by their passion and a focus on ideas over hardware realities; in OUR version of the game, the port team really and truly...

    Halo 2 Vista - Melee Help Needed

    Yes, "152" in the elite jmad means "do a melee animation". You can confirm that for yourself by looking at the exact screen in my first screenshot, and then exploring the "Actions" block. It lists all of the elite combat animations, including melee, firing, reloading, ect, that are all fairly...

    Halo 2 Vista - Melee Help Needed

    That makes sense, since MC's sword melee animation only exists as an overlay. It would certainly make sense that you could do the reverse and turn MC's sword strike overlay into an action...probably. Finding reusable action chunks on the MC might be somewhat difficult, however, so you might have...

    Halo 2 Vista - Melee Help Needed

    Well I fucked around with the animation tags for a bit, and the solution ended up being what I thought it would be, but its a bit of a pain without chunk reallocation. Each melee animation is going to have to be "repaired" by hand. First, go the elite jmad. Then go to the modes block, then find...

    Halo 2 Vista - Melee Help Needed

    Oops, yeah, I wrote that down a while ago and forgot to add context to my notes. It seems to work when you're just model swapping, so when you put the elite model in Arby's biped, it gives the elites the animations of the Arbiter. So its just a quick and dirty way of forcing elite bipeds to use...

    Halo 2 Vista - Melee Help Needed

    Go to your player's biped, then open your character's model (hltm) tag, then go to your character's animation (jmad) tag. Go to the first flag group called Inheritance flags, then check "Inherit For Use On Player". That should fix the issue.

    Can we get an offline option for Project Cartographer please

    Re: Can we get an offline option for Project Cartographer pl I've largely gone back to GFWL because of this issue. Neonspider is correct, the game becomes unplayable whenever you don't have internet, the master server goes down, or on the occasion it simply decides to not function, and as...

    Help getting GFWL working with H2V

    H2Online and GFWL are incompatible, and achievements are part of GFWL explicitly. Follow guy298's link to cheese the currently impossible achievements. I think that's more or less what he said. ;)

    Halo 2 Campaign Rebalance

    I'd honestly be surprised if someone hadn't run into the glitch, it seems like something someone would easily run into, however I can't find any documentation on it via Google. Basically, well timed jumping allows you to double jump. All you really have to do is jump in place, and then keep...
