Ambiguous Alpha v2.50

[KantIZBack]

Ambiguous Alpha v2.50
-----------------------------------------

Ambiguous is a non-funded poorly coded(for now) application, for the use of modifying tag data inside of the (NOT)Popular game of halo 2 vista. As Ambiguous is now it is not at its full potential and is missing a lot of the features planned for the future.

------------------------------------------

Okay now that that lame part is done i can get to the real thing. Basically as says above this is just a application like any other made before. But this is the first one that i know of for h2v that modifies real time.

Task List.

• Locating and identify the in game map structure
• Create a class to read and load the data
• Creating a Working and efficient meta editor 97%
• Creating a stable GUI..... 92%
• Tag Extraction To H2EK Compatible Tags 8%
• Figure out a awesome name with a sick icon
• Other stuff as i think of it.
• Loading Tag name data 100%

Please Report any bugs that you think i am not currently aware of, Note I may already know about some bugs. As this is a Alpha release so, they will probably be fixed in due time.

Download

Note: This is a protected application which means it is harder to decompile, I will however release the source in the future after it is a finished application.

Been looking forward to this, I hope you can continue making progress with it.


Kirby mentioned that it crashes (or H2V crashes, haven't check it yet) due to the live check built into D3D9.DLL, the same DLL we've been talking about what with HUD and vehicle modification. If the version we have (of the DLL) could be improved it would go hand in hand with this app as well.


Also, he said everything is labeled as HEX so its tricky knowing what to edit, but I respect this is an alpha build.


Keep it up!

I stated that it MAY crash because of hooking into that place as d3d9, as its not stated either way in the first post. My crash was from randomly changing tags to idk what lol (because everything is labeled as hex, and all types of tags show up in the referance list)

Okay. I just tested it out on Valhalla. I changed the sky settings and a few models with ease. Also changed the fog color, density and the sun was gone for awhile then I changed its angle. I tried changing some weapons but it was difficult to tell which was which (I could recompile with just one weapon).



So improvements that I would appreciate:

-Better labels, like weapon names and such.

-The scroll bar; this may seem small but improved scrolling is always a plus from a usability standpoint. Right now if you drag scroll the tag display does not follow until you let go at which point you may have skipped too far.

-Could you make it so the app can be maximized and/or drag-able (the edges)?


This will be way more effective then Cheat Engine for real time map editing. TY for the hard work.

Like i have said this is still just a Alpha, i am consistantly updating and adding new things to keep it going. And this app makes no hooks to anything it just modifies memory.

[Ryx]

Besides the obvious duplicates of each weap and proj tag, it looks nice.

I'll be waiting to see how this turns out.

[KantIZBack]

BTW a reason that this app loads slowly is because of how h2v does not specify how many tags it has it is always set to be 15065 which is just the max tag limit.

[Patrickssj6]

Maybe you should change your iteration method then. I would reverse how H2V iterates through the tags first to see if what you are saying is really the case (which you have probably done by now :P).

Otherwise I would iterate and then check validity before loading the data (?).

[KantIZBack]

i Did look into it quiet extensively actually and it is in fact the correct placement but H2V just sets it to 15065. Gravmind also does it the same way as i do just more efficient because i haven't "Cleaned" my code yet.



Edit... Oh yeah i know who else needs to go in the credits...
