I do not like the new wave of Mgmers.

They are support some faggot find cheats. Stop it now.

For those that still play halo demo. Might not want some stupid 11year old kid annoying them while they pwn bitches.

Gees. Clam down. It's not like anyones using an aimbot...clam down dude.

Yeah I think I might have to use that glowing spartan effect. Seeing I know where to find the tags. Any more suggestions. I'm about to go much around in eschaton and see what I can do, and I'll post back here if I discover anything thats awesome.

Calming down is always recommended. Even if the person you're talking isn't calm, keeping cool generally helps prevent spawning a new flame war. There's other ways of discouraging use of cheats...

I don't like people who find cheats either. Do not cheat by swapping active camo. Theres a reason Bungie put it there to let us use it. Same goes for the overshield. And people don't "clam" down that easily for a person to use cheats to gain an unfair advantage in gameplay.

Okay. I get what you're saying. But lets face it. It's not exactly preventable. People find ways. Okay, so chill.

I realize that I'm getting flamed now but I only have one more question. Then I'll let this topic die. I want to swap the coop teleport effect in with the one for the active camo. Can someone who has brains (unlike me) just tell me what tags to put it etc. Thanks so much.

There is no effe tag for active camo that I know of. Active camo works by swapping the current bitmaps of the user with almost clear bitmaps (if I reverse-engineered it correctly).

Also:
Let's think about map cheats as armor upgrades. In real life, you can't freeze enemies or shoot everyone with perfect precision. But armor upgrades can give you better radar range or thermal vision (active camo generates heat and can be overloaded with smoke in the "real" Haloverse). It shouldn't really matter to us pros whether noobs are cheating; it's not like we're playing for cash, and it's they're own fault if they want to spoil their fun.
Halo's about strategy (especially the Halo game tripod: guns/grenades/melee) and having fun winning through your own work.
Hence, we should discourage newbies from using cheats in case we appear to be endorsing cheats that would spoil the fun for players (imagine if everyone other than us had sniper gametypes with aimbots) but let's not be too harsh on things that may also be legitimate ways to make good mods. (Modding active camo to glow could be good if we drop players on it before they can get secret weapons, then everyone would target that person)

Kid I am not angry. I am just saying its pathetic of you to search for cheats. Play properly The came is easy to see anyone if have a decent computer.

Tried it just now. Didn't work. All the effe reverences were nulled out so I changed them all to effects/coop teleport. No sucess. Makes me wonder if what I'm trying to do is even possible. Any one else who has some ideas to contribute? I'm not sure what to try next.

you mean that?

Lol messing with the rasterizer is so much fun.

BUUUUUUURRRRRRNNNNNNNN.

Is it lightmaps that edit it like that??

I have never really touched them. Or is it shaders????

[Smythe]

Bitmaps? or your Shader Project?

[Euphoria]

you mean that?

Haha. I see what you did there. Or at least I think you did. Aren't those colours the original ones for active camo? Did you just import them all into the image mask? I must try that because that'll work just fine.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
