Open Sauce Update #2

Just a warning:

I may have to push the release back from the specified release date (on a Thursday) to the following weekend. I had unplanned (from when I originally drafted the release schedule) events this past saturday, sunday and monday and I now have a mission I'm being put on (since I have a day job) for a few days around the actual release date. So real world events may interfere with the scheduled release date as I now have 4 days "in-the-hole" in terms of development time.

However, I'm still working as if I'm releasing on time. This is just a warning. So...don't say I didn't warn you! Or bitch.

Aw :( Okay, actually this is good, it means Kornman doesnt leave the community, till later :D

As I haven't really looked into Open Sauce V1 very deep (doesn't convert properly to 2008); Korn, I have a question:

Will Codecaving still be necessary?

Yes it does. I use VS2008, and the project upgraded fine for me.

I also use 2008, works fantastically. You sure you opened the right file?

I've got a fix for the active camo bug here, incase you want to drop it in to OS2.

Code:

---

HRESULT Yelo_IDirect3D9::GetAdapterIdentifier(UINT Adapter, DWORD Flags, D3DADAPTER_IDENTIFIER9 *pIdentifier)
{
    HRESULT hr = Yelo_pD3D->GetAdapterIdentifier(Adapter, Flags, pIdentifier);
    if (SUCCEEDED(hr) && pIdentifier->VendorId == 0x10de)
        pIdentifier->VendorId = 0x12d2;
    return hr;
}

---

Replaces the corresponding function in DxWrapper.cpp. It just returns a different nVidia VendorId, taken from the config.txt file. Tested on my GeForce 9600GT and works fine.

Could someone explain how I get Open Sauce to run with Halo CE? I've searched many places for about 45-mins now and I still can't find anything. I see the SDK and various add-on releases but no main OS download.

This is the update thread, theres another OS thread in which he released the files, which is the sdk. You either need to compile it yourself or there should already be a d3d9.dll in the release folder. You put the d3d9.dll into your halo custom edition directory and that's it.

Perhaps there are multiple versions?

My main question still isn't answered.

Thanks Skyline.

E: How do I compile the dll? C++ is a shady area for me.
