Hi,

I was bored to see the "Manual Update Required! Get it from http://www.microsoft.com/games/halo/downloads.asp" message on my halo CE, so I searched how to replace it by a new thing. And I found how.

I think that would be cool if we create a comunity message of the day, that anouce new maps and stuff, and can be up to date.

Anyone up with this ?

[Stealth]

Ya, that would be useful.

[THEdarkLord]

cool,you can make it so we make the messages and they always update the message whenever we please?


hmmm,on halo ce it sometimes says "welcome to halo multiplayer!"

It's probaly possible to edit the .exe and change the url that shows the .txt?

To do this, you would have to ask Bungie if you can put more comments in their site directory like those ones. Or edit everyone's exe so it is directed to a different site and directory.

Yeah, I know that we need to ask bungie if we can edit their files... I don't think they still care about what we're doing on haloPC.

well then, maybe some one should start asking them if some of us can keep the Halo PC and CE messages up-to-date for them.

There has to be an exe that holds the location of the url. Which inturn reads it from bungies server....
