HAC 2 Release

[mywarthog]

Relating to my suggestion for map downloading in SAPP:

- Would it be possible to set a quota of space/limit on the number of maps for the folder that HAC downloads too, for the sakes of space management? And maybe provide an interface to browse and delete maps from the folder while in game?

Possible but the time it'd take to implement it would outweigh its value. It's easier just to go to your downloaded maps folder every now and then if you want to clean up.

Bumping this to mention that there's a fairly important patch out that requires a manual update. If you've been experiencing crashes after minimising the game, this is for you.

Details here.

I must admit that this application is very helpful and amazing.. It has everything I need.. never thought something like this will exist for Halo ..

Everything works fine, smooth, and perfect.. but there is one problem.. when I press F5 to get the bookmarked servers, an error pops up.. the bookmarked servers still show up but that error gets annoying.. and if I press F5 two or three times my game crashes.. giving me a gathering exception error..

The error says:
Socket error failed with error 10054: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

I am running Windows 8 64-bit.. in case anyone's wondering..

That usually happens (not exclusively) if you've bookmarked a local server that's no longer available. The problematic server will be displayed in yellow with "[unknown]" displayed where its status should be. Remove it and you should be all good.

It's already fixed but the next update isn't quite ready for release yet.

Ah I see, thank you for the quick reply.. I'm not that experienced with HAC 2 at the moment.. but I found the "bookmarks.hac" file, which I presume it has the bookmarks list.. is there a way I can access it to delete the servers that are not working? I cannot join them because as I've said.. they don't work xD .. So I can't remove them, unfortunately..

I have quite a few servers bookmarked, I don't want to loose them by deleting that file.. but if there is no alternative, I guess I have to..

You can delete bookmarked servers without joining them by pressing delete + bookmark number. That'll allow you to delete bookmarks in the range of 1-10. To delete bookmarks in the range of 11-20, hold alt down too. You can also do it with the bookmark_delete console command. For example, bookmark_delete 17.

There's a full list of commands/shortcuts available here.

Let me know how it goes.

Everything works fine now, thanks for the fast reply and awesome support.. I really appreciate your work on such an amazing app.. please continue with it..
