HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Well, I'm not programmer, but for the longest time I've envied Halo 2 modding and how many great mods there are for it, but alas I cannot play them on my Halo 2 Vista machine. Now to my knowledge, converting an XBOX mod to Halo 2 Vista is not possible yet, but question is what it would take to make it possible.

the tools to do some of the stuff b/c they have like no tools out minus h2v edit and h2v bungie tools but you can still do simple tag editing but thats nearly it (to my knowledge)

Limited Tag Editing to be exact.

Tags you can only edit:

.scenario
.scenario_scructure_bsp
.bitmap
.shader

And a couple of others, but they arent useful.

Im sure Kornman is perfecting his HEK, but it will not be released for a while (untill he feels thats enough time to release it.) Be patient, it will be out soon, and we can do whatever we want with it...

Remember that with the tag editor you cannot edit existing maps - atleast without having to extract all the contents in the said map and then mod it and then compile it....

and you can edit the objects tags like say replace warthog horn with a rocket launcher so it fires rockets but multiplayer and i believe single player use the shared and single player map files for resources

It's possible and it's being done. In due time. Although, i'm not sure how the person/s feel about releasing it here...

Why go h2x to H2v? Why not H2V to H2X.

If one were done then so could the other be. Thus it doesn't really matter which way you arrange the abbreviations.

Because shout doesn't mod H2x...
