Mac Gaming Mods

If you don't know what this app is is, check the older 1.3 release thread for more info.

If you already have the app, you can upgrade it within the program.

The new major feature is a gametype changer for hosts:



To use it, you need to have Halo Demo running. Then you change the gametype. Then you start a new Slayer game in Halo Demo.

My motivation for adding this was out of knowing sv_map and the console isn't perfect, and that I wanted to make the process faster and easier than previous methods (that is: swapping files manually & yummy's switchers).

[EDIT]: This software does not work for HaloMD and is no longer supported.

Lol mine is updated without downloading that one.

Screams in joy.

There was a potential [rare-ish] crash bug in the mod manager, so I think I squashed it, and made a quick update. Links are updated.

You're welcome : P

if you copy the prefrences file from EDIT: a newer mac to a 10.3.9 this works on 10.3.9

I luv u

Thanks for letting me test the beta.

nil, would you please make it so that the application remembers window positions, even for those windows that are built after the click of a button? I think this is a simple .nib file flag.

I would also like a search field added to the Download Manager window, to search the filename and description fields.
Also, a filter to only display CSS mods using a checkbox.

What windows are you talking about specifically? I'm not guessing.

Also, I'll be honest and say I'm likely not going to do those two other things. The CSS field isn't even standardized anyway last time I checked.

I noticed after my post that some window positions are saved. I am referring to the window that comes up to indicate the progress of a downloading mod.

Updated HDL to 1.4.2, most notable bug fix was making the download manager compatible with the latest HDM wiki upgrade. Download links are updated as well as the source code, and I'm not using mediafire anymore because I realized it's awful and a pain.

[edit]: I should note that you can simply update HDL within the app itself.

Thanks for keeping it up to date
