Any ideas what is causing this? Out of memory?

edit: its sort of working but the game slows down to 1-5 FPS(its like you activated slow mode a la FEAR) but how is it possible? It cant be because of 2-3 extra tags? Ive seen gamecheats MP map spawn everything and no lag.

Is it somehow possible to "reduce" the workload? Ive tried removing all "equipment" all "weapons on the ground", removed all barriers, changed most crates to plasma battries(which i then explode) but still mass lag. 

Is it possible to cut corners soemwhere? remove some "useless" tag that takes up CPU? 

I'm a big CE campaign fan and one of the things I liked to do was experiment with different game speeds by doing game_speed 0.5 in the console. I've searched through many tags where I thought this could be found, like globals for instance but I'm convinced a script needs to be written. I don't know what language Halo scripts are in but I've written programs before in other languages so I can follow along just fine.

Where should I be looking to modify this parameter?

Best regards,

About: This is basically vehicles and weapons access for all maps, tag injection.

Last year I've got the chance of getting an X360 RGH.

Today I'm sharing my modded game for any one who is interested, screenshots taken by FreeStyle plugin to show of some stuff.

Inside of this mod there are two programs:

- Assembly to edit the map files locally on your computer and to edit real time on X360.

- Ascension to poke advanced real time addresses, like the Halo 3 vehicle/global field of view. (If you have the plugin enabled to edit in real time, don't forget to change these two program's IP addresses according whit your X360 connection to your internet router).

This mod is aimed for the game version 1.0 but it can be played for any TU (Title update) you have installed, I prefer the game base version.

(Q) - What's been changed for this campaign ?

(A) - Player Field of View, Vehicle access (Pelican/Phantom/etc) , Weapon enhancements (ammo increase, weapon placement on screen), Centered Crosshair, restored Hunter boarding feature and many other miscellaneous stuff.

Feel free to post your videos/screenshots about this mod, I play H3 almost every day, if not playing GTA V on Steam or busy at work. If you're interested to play with me via System Link on X360 add me on Steam.

Have fun

With news that MCC PC has been out for a while, and H2 and H3 PC are about a couple months away, I got real excited and started looking around the modding community for the first time in about 1.5 years and was excited to see the Xenia project has become extremely viable since I last checked. So I booted up my old project into xenia and got back to work. This is just how I left it all the time ago except I show you how I recently added the tank head.

Any help scaling the head so it better fits the visor would be greatly appreciated. I've been up and down this site looking for something about model resizing, but the only thing I could find was Zedd's code for editing the xex, but if I could find an address to permenantly change my custom .mode and/or hlmt then I could share this map in the future without having to also share a xex along with it. Did it! Big shout out to ReteroX for the help!

My current mod goals are all for this map and are as follows (list-items less likely for success as it goes):

• Rescale tank head on flood-spartan, and maybe fine tune it some more. Thanks again ReteroX
• Retexture the flood-spartan with photoshop and 3ds max (I have everything I need, I'm just having a hard time unwrapping the uv exactly how bungie did it. How is everyone else retexturing spartans? I can't even find a guide to do it in halo ce even)
• Fix how the player can't start with a shotgun for some reason. (The odst next to me gets one wtf) All I had to do was forceload it. Thanks Akarias, I made sure to like your helpful post.
• Perhaps add a flood left_arm_garbage to the flood-spartan as well. [I learned how to rotate things, here's a progress album: https://imgur.com/a/ARVr79X] (Ignore any weird weapons.) Here's a helpful tool for rotating matrices or quarternions: https://www.andre-gaschler.com/rotationconverter/ Update, was testing to see if scaling was working. Oh it was working: https://youtu.be/PTKzhUKkiLM    Finale: https://youtu.be/ZAC7D9Qzi6I
• Give Jackals, Grunts, and ODST the same treatment as I did the spartan. [Jackal is in early stages. Lots of stretching and breaking that I'm sorting out.  Ayyyy!! Finally some progress https://youtu.be/Y6nrmQTDPSs] Got the jackal to explode like a carrier on death and it is fun and makes the enemy challenging. Currently looking to add permanent muffins to it to justify the skinny guy exploding so much.
• Make Spartan Corpses/Jackals/Grunts infectable like brutes/humans/elites.
• Randomized Spartan Permutations.
• Remove the dialog, title, and AA blasts from the cinematic since I can't remove the cinematic, also maybe swap the music.
• Recreate the Flood swarm from halo wars (When I get to that I'll likely use Sentinels or Gamecheat's unmanned banshees, in combination with the quadwings from guardian.map)
• The "Skulker" new unit that's a hunter animation-inheriting a stalker, new textures and bump maps to cover up metalic bits and make it all look fleshy. (Lore: not a flood hunter, just another pureform or stand-in for the Thrasher. Everyone knows Lekgolo are immune to infection.)
• The "Splinter" A flood weapon that fires ranger needles and that looks like it was pulled off a pureform. [In early stages of development rn]
• Port over Zedd's flood-engineers and make bangers a lot more noticeable from other popcorns.
• The "Firecat" (because FirePuma doesn't sound as good), a red Warthog with a flamethrower turret. [Finished everything except the color. Expanding vehi 'Change Color' chunk just isn't working. Maybe I'll mess with rmsh colors later, but who knows what issues duplicating for that'll cause. Trying to keep my tag count down. So no HW2 flame color scheme for now.] (waiting until jackal and grunt are done then I'll make a video on all 3. Too stressful not to talk about early)
• Figure out what to unload from the game to improve stability.
• Change that BLF
• Block that one door with a flood asteroid. Or remove the machine that operates the door?
• Learn a lot of scripting for next parts
• Add more squads to that last area that spawn after one another when it is cleared out.
• A bloc (crate/etc.) with a 'Use' key that spawns weapons/grenades/equipment/etc.
• Force campaign scoring to always on and use as money.
• Script that checks campaign score, if x or above, subtracts x from it as though friendly fire, when player presses use key on one of those blocs. Have blocs say something like "Firebomb (300)" or "Magnum (100)" on its ingame prompt.
• Figure out how to get phantoms/pelicans to drop squads like they do in rest of campaign, rig that up to a bloc (antenna) as well. (Lore: A covenant antenna could intercept covie radio and call in a distraction 3-way battle for you at the expense of some score points. Blocs that call in actual allies would obviously cost more.)
• Friendly hunters that are colored green like the sangheli phantoms (which can be called in). Seriously, why wasn't this already in retail? Some Hunters defected too.
• Friendly mp_spartans as well (that can be called in for a hefty fee).
• Make a flood-truth boss.
• Hopefully this all syncs over LAN as it's technically just a campaign level.

Stretch goals.

• Change the water to resemble water from Cortana level. And do detail work trying to get parts of the environment covered in flood mass.
• Have new flood squads drop in how they do on the Halo level (last level).
• Whenever model injection works, likely on the upcoming PC port, juggernauts, thrashers, the h4 flood-spartan, previous flood versions, and flood from Halo Wars 1/2 would be sweeet.

I'm aware that Zedd's flood firefight mod exists for ODST, but I want the full spartan/H3 experience this time.

Thank you for reading, any help is appreciated. Still doing as much research on my own as I can, things are changing every minute, especially with all my free time due to the coronavirus outbreak. Stay safe guys.

In halo 3 when i attempt to do that ..instead of neatly made Driver and Gunner I get unreadable chunks of code and the map crashes 

anyone have an idea how to add those pesky gunners? 

Hows is the port going?

Hears a link:  

I want to replace the reticle of certain weapons in my mod to make them a bit different from their originals.

Also, is it possible to mix the reticles without having to dual wield weapons?

I did like in the tutorial and it does not work! already sent a message in the forum but there is nobody !! thank you for helping me please

Is there a way to solve this symptom of freezing?

Why....

While it does work for some encounters, it just doesn't for others.

This is done on Crow's Nest btw, as most encounters I modified for Sierra 117 did work.

For example, attempting to replace a squad of Brutes inside the barracks works fine for the most part and it also did good with the jumppack Brutes (replaced with Spec Ops Elites).

But when I try to replace the Jackals in the hangar with Elites, they just don't spawn. I also tried to replace the final Brute Bodyguards with Elites, but the same effect. They just don't spawn.

What is making this happen? Or what am I doing wrong? Because it works for certain encounters in the level but those specific ones just... well, don't work.

I even added them to specific Designer Zonesets but they still don't spawn there.

Rate of fire.

Overheat.

Battery wasted per shot.

What exactly are these connecting to? is there anyway we can emulate a server I assume to allow a connection and have game dumps uploaded to it? as I'm sure it was either to store player information or dump crashes for playtesters. 

I guess the fun begins with analysing where the lines of code are in IDA and finding out what they actually do. 

I'm currently trying to make brutes customizable and playable in multiplayer and I'm stuck on trying to make the different parts of armour change when selecting a different option. I also want to fix the animation as the brute is currently t-posing. I'm also using Xenia which is an emulator so if anyone knows how to make poking work that would also be much appreciated.

Here's the progress I've made so far

Many thanks, Toby
