Project: Unify Halo Custom Edition
The Problem
The most common problem in Halo Custom Edition is that there are players playing on two big versions (v1.00 and v1.09). The latest version has fixed several exploits (mostly DoS) but the only crack that exists is for version v1.00. After v1.08, SafeDisc was stripped from the original executable and thus a CD is not required anymore. Still the majority of pirates are still playing servers on v1.00.
Our Goal
Our goal was to unify both versions into one by having the Halo Custom Edition Dedicated Servers appear on both server lists (v1.00 and v1.09). This is done by having the server switch every interval its own version and afterwards sends the information to GameSpy. It might be for a short period of time that the server will not appear on one of the lists. Our tests have shown though that this small sacrifice still leads to a higher player count inside the server.
Modacity is running 4 servers with this server version. Click here if you want to find out more!
v.1.1
-Removed the 1.08 version and made the 1.09 version fully SAPP compatible

Some people are experiencing problems. We are unable to reproduce the problems thus we cannot make sure it is a problem on our side. Run the server for some time and see how it works out for you.
Enjoy.

No more devmode toggling. CRC check is also disabled for developers.
To use this just patch the HaloCE 1.09 exe and start it with -console command. You can use this in multiplayer as well.

Vivid 360 Released!
Another project after Halo Solstice is this nifty app I call Vivid 360. What it does basically is let you choose a center point and set the radius and it will make a 360 circle around it. Nifty for video projects and 360° panorama pictures!
Vivid 360 cannot just do a 360° fly-around but also turn itself in the same angle at a precise spot 360° at a specific rate. Perfect for making 360° Images or Panorama Images!

Download: Vivid 360 (Halo Custom Edition 1.09) (v. 1.0)
Panorama Creation
I use Vivid 360 in synchronization with Fraps to capture the images. Fraps has a feature to capture images in a certain invterval. If you set the interval the same as the one from Vivid 360, it will turn the camera and capture the image automatically.
Afterwards I use AutoStitch to stitch my images together.
Halo Custom Edition Cam Flyer For 1.08
Now that I have some free time and the Yoyorast V2 Trailer contest is around the corner, I remade the Cam Flyer for 1.08. It's faster now and the transition is smoother. No more "Plz run the whole cinematic at least once or select the last camera point manually".
It will be released after the 29th of November. More details about the contest here: Modacity
BlueArrow V2 Filming Edition 1.08
I broke my hand recently and typing etc takes way to long. No more playing guitar for six weeks....sucks.
Managed to release this: Similar to Rec0's AllNames but this one works with 1.08 and all Gametypes.
