Shoot it's been awhile. Worked on this a bit the past few weeks, and maps are now being properly converted and sounds/bitmaps handled appropriately. Hoping to slowly get things rolling and out the door before OS X Lion is released, just in time to convert all your old demo mods to full.

I'm stopping coding on this project, and dropping support. I think it's time to pull myself away from the modification of Halo Demo and move on to greater programming challenges. This does not mean I will stop working with Halo, in fact, the opposite.

Job offer? Also, could you finish with demo to full support?

Nah, the two jobs I currently hold eat up most free time anyway. Seeing as demo will no longer be supported under Lion, I don't see much point in continuing. I considered the Demo to Full feature, which is implemented in beta versions of Pearl, however I came to find out that nulled BSPs just do not work with Halo UB, and killed that effort. Might as well move on.

Aw, that's sad. but still, good for you, modzy! I'm happy to hear you moved on with life and stuff!

what the hell, how can one be both sad that you leave and happy that you leave? ._· no wait, "happy that you leave" sounds wrong… >_<

[Modzy]

Who said I was leaving? I'm still quite bent on programming as a hobby. I'd still like to see the Halo community come back. And I'll help out with the knowledge I have. One of the things I'd like to see within a year or so is a recreation of the Halo engine, and I know it's possible.

But hey! If you're not leaving then there's no reason to be sad! My whole posts are just a mess, and not even I can make head or tails of what i mean and want to mean. x_x Sorry about that.

I'm almost doing that with Zeus... well, I'm doing it, but only to an extent. Kind of like SparkEdit and SwordEdit did it, but only to an extent. But I plan to go beyond what those two programs did in that way. You know what I mean... but I know that's not quite what you have in mind for yourself.

I took a look at the source for this thing that's been untouched for quite sometime. I forgot how close it was to being finished. Needless to say, I started playing with it and could have a fairly functional beta ready in a flash.

Singleplayer maps are converting correctly under the new 2.0 code.
