is there an easy way to apply all those patches for nmp? especially with doing sparkedit all the time.

if you're talking about the procedure involved...It is necessary to make them compressed and as accessable as regular halo maps, however you can still just patch the cache and play it from there but the only way to make this 'time-effective' is with HCE, but you'll have to do it every time you play.. it only takes about 1/2 hour to an hour to do it permanently, if you want help pm me, and i'll walk you through.

The only other person i know working on a second map pack goes by thescottishguy http://www.californialan.com. You can find his awesome hangem high mod here http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=8128.

Looks like someone partial to xbc has caught on http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=8469 and is trying to start an xbc nmp community... some friendly competition! Whoever likes the idea of nmp get it now so we can get to playing, and if you have it open a Halo NMP private arena in Homebrew so we can have a bigger NMP community sooner!! they already have the population advantage and i don't know what they're community is like... but i kind of like ours and would like to see us win!

This is UltraMagnus.

I appreciate all of your interest in the Halo NMP project and goatninja has brought this post to my attention. You all have hit one of the key purposes of the NMP. It is designed to be a unified standard for playing Halo. Two people can play modded games without having to worry about how has what version, cache files and all that. Obviously it is still in its first version, but in the next few weeks its version will progress along with the release of more maps for it. All eeryone will need to do is look at the version number (conveniently placed at the bottom of the multiplayer screen in Halo) and you can be confident that all your games will work with another player who has the same Halo NMP version. If you would like to suggest certain maps to be in Halo NMP, please visit Halomods and there will be a voting section for the qualifying maps soon in the Halomods files section under NMP development. Thank you for your support of the Halo NMP project and if you have any questions, i am a member of this forum now and will keep track of this thread.

Exactly - and that's what I love so much about it. I believe some people have already created a downloadable "official" NMP package, which only makes things better.

I wouldn't expect much from the XBC crew - their policies tend to discourage mod use, especially in the forum. I'm not having a go at them - thats just how they choose to do it. We are a little more liberal here, and as long as nothing illegal is being exchanges, you will have our full support.

Gonna get some front page news up on this once I'm sure I've got all my facts straight - it's the kind of thing Xant might like for XS too - so that could be sweet.

Ok.. I've just had to spend 5 minutes cleaning this thread up - which is a waste of my time.

GoatNinja got the front page mention because:

1.) He told me about NMP.
2.) He got info from halomods.com and HCE, and presented it to me in a form which i could understand.
3.) He made arrangements with the guys at both halomods and HCE to get in touch with xlink.
4.) He didnt bitch and whine like a muel about not getting credit.

You're the second person I've spoken to about this who was moaning because he didnt get "credit".. Hell, if either of you had actually PM'd me or somehow let me know about this, or done something proactive to actually make it happen, you would have got the "credit".

If you have a problem with something, send me a PM - do *not* post shit like that on here - it will just get deleted.

What ever man. I figured in the fact that you posted in a thread, you might have actually read some of it, or at least the very first post. Silly me I thought thats what Admins and Mods are supposed to do.
Not once did you say anything about not understanding this idea. I would have spent more time trying to help you out.
I thought I put a link in my first post to the Halomods thread. Rolling Eyes

I thought starting this thread would be the best way to let you know about this idea. and then I figured I'd add a poll to show how many people would like to see something proactive done to get it started.

Because he did.

And I wont waiste your time with the three new ideas I have.
Thanks for the heads up on that kinda thing.

I don't want things to go sour, and I feel it turning that way. So I'll shut up for awhile.

I hope my reply lived up to your expectations. Feel free to delete it.

Well, for a start, admins will only delete things which are pointless. You're allowed to compain about things - of course you are - but do it in a sensible way, and it will get dealt with - do it in a silly way, and it will get deleted.

Secondly, I dont actualy have time to read each and every single post on these boards and reply to / act upon each one - because I have a million and one other things to do at the moment. That's why when Goat approached me and DIE with a proper proposal, to which all I had to do was say "OK - Do it" - I said yes..

I'm sorry if you've got the hump with this stuff - and maybe you should have got a shout for this poll - but all im saying is that atm, people cant expect me / admins to actively hunt through the boards for extra work to do Very Happy

If people want something doing, they need to think it through, then approach an admin by email or PM with a concise proposal detailing what needs to be done.

With Halo NMP none of the additional textures that aren't in the original game are sohowing up. Anyone know how to fix this?? Please let me know I searched the halomods form forever and am getting tired of looking around on it

Download app called HCE and you can clear your cache with it
