If(im sure it is) possible to mod halo, i think we should make halo maps and play them on zaku's server. i think it would be cool to have Battle forum branded halo maps....dont u?

I don't think the server(s) can use mods. But you sure can make mods and i think use them for direct connections. Or lan games.

ok, Not sure if you've all established this yet but: you cna mod halo. Servers CAN use the mods. catch is everyone has to have the same mod's on or it will look bad, so simply play with your finreds and send them the PFF of the mods u have on.

moving on. I can mod halo Pc. and i Do mod halo PC. PM me or IM me if you want to play with mod's.

I once played a halo mod on a server, not much though, exept being able to drive a warthog from the gun turret, cool though.

That'd be cool, yet difficult.

Man.. think about a star wars mod for Halo... Runnin' around as stormtroopers.. and the ghosts would be speeder bikes.. the scorpion tanks would be AT-STs and the banshis would be Air speeders. heh.. that would be awesome..

you cant hex the map files if you dont know their structure and if you havent coded a single directx9 application yourself before what i believe is the case. additionally you would have to reverse engineer the whole game to find out the structure and understand it. and as halo has this gay anti-refresh-fix i think they probably also have some checksum database to prevent mods from being installed
