Mac Gaming Mods

I keep telling Zero2 to post it on Github, but he says Dirk's eyes will bleed. ;p

Post it anyways!

Most software projects are messes, in one way or another. They start out as sturdy, simple little shacks, but grow and grow with bedroom additions, porch extensions, and a DIY leaf gutter projects. The house constantly need repairs, too -- the roof leaks, the floorboards in the living room are rotti...

Oh, is THAT what Incyclopedia is? A gigantic map with lots of tags in it?

I say just start the whole project from scratch. Copy/paste or rewrite whatever code segments look useful, but do it in a brand new project. There's always technical debt associated with old projects, but you're also throwing away a looooot of work when starting from scratch. Swordedit's map-loadin...

what are the mandatory files needed? I'm not on a Mac, nor have I used Pearl 2, but all the "Halo Full" maps are as follows: a10.map a30.map a50.map b30.map b40.map beavercreek.map bitmaps.map bloodgulch.map boardingaction.map c10.map c20.map c40.map carousel.map chillout.map d20.map d40....

"full" is in reference to the full edition of Halo, which comes with all the campaign maps and dozen or so multiplayer maps. The default HaloMD maps are not enough, I suspect.

iterating through the tens of thousands of tags of every Halo retail map is done in only 15 seconds on my MacBook Air. A fifteen-second task is too long by my standards. What you are doing is wasting CPU time on duplicate tag names otherwise. It's not taking 15 seconds to do one map, it's taking fi...

Awesome, dude!

Okay, thanks. That's very helpful. :D Unfortunately the latest Xcode I have access to right now is Xcode 5 Developer Preview 1, and it looks like this file was made with a slightly newer Xcode. =/ I guess I'll have to wait a bit before playing around with this. Edit: Didn't see your Xcode 4 file! I'...

Wow, nice work 002!

Specifically, Xcode refuses to open the "main.xib" file, which I think is the Interface Builder document for the main window. I'm not in front of my Mac VM right now, but I believe the error had to do with the xib file format being too old. The best lead I've found on StackOverflow was to ...

Samuco, what version of Xcode do you use to develop Swordedit Sunlight? I have 4.6.3, but I can't open the project correctly.

I have a theory that it is a form of Asperger Syndrome, though it sounds like a bit of a nasty thing to say, we're all affected by the Aspergic Spectrum in one way or another. I wouldn't go so far as to break out the term 'Asperger', but I know what you mean -- everyone seems to have different soci...
