I might as well post this here too. If anyone is interested, I have put together an archive of the stock maps with the fixes contained in the refined tagset, that was started off by Moses of Egypt. They also contain other things like better versions of the stock bitmaps taken form the xbox version of the game. There are versions for each language that can be used with English CE if you wish. Downloads: English Español Deutsch Français Italiano 日本語 漢語 There is no requirement for using these maps other than replacing the default stock ones. r10, a couple of HUD fixes and fixed a bad bitmap on infinity. r11, hud warnings are now translated. r12-13, more fixes, this game is a meme

Subnautica is currently free using Epic's Game launcher. Not to fond of the launcher wars as it will be annoying in general and more so on Linux, but it seems Epic is serious as they announced they are going to have a free game every two weeks à la Xbox Live but without the needing gold part.

I think this is to do with the fact that the Alpha version does not interpolate the camera, and halo's original camera interpolation is bad.

Retail PC has nothing over Custom Edition at this point other than support with the Mac version, however that versions days are numbered given Apple is dropping OpenGL and 32bit support.

It's exciting to see how this is coming along.

"r294" is the last build with working first person reverb effects in Halo, and I would suggest using this one until the remaining issues with later commits are ironed out. The builds I posted are just compiled from source.

It's possible now to use Refinery from Mo's editing kit to change the hash of maps, so Halo CE will think it's exactly the same as the original. This way there no need to have certain mods installed with the right settings on and the maps wont break if the HAC2 cache gets wiped. For example these versions of those maps posted will work anywhere.

Sounds fun and all but where exactly would they go these days?

Here are some other variants of the CE stock UI for those that prefer the original, they disable the update check and optionally remove the main menu music so you don't have to turn the music volume down just to not get annoyed by the halo theme over and over again. HaloCE_Stock_UI_Variants.7z

Would have been nice if more showed but interesting none the less.

Funnily I had this happen on one of my PC's today. I'm not sure what happened, it was when I started halo and it was the same black screen with no signal on my monitor and the system seemed hung. Might have been a bug a recent windows update? I have never had this issue before.

Hot

Happy birthday.
