Is there a third person mod that actually WORKS with v1.08 of halo CE?


any help would be good

Well, there's a plug-in for Halo PC/CE that allows you to change your versions. To use it, you'll need a program like WinRAR or WinZIP, then open it, and drag the strings.dll file into your Halo PC/CE directory. (Note, you'll also need the 1.07 exe)

Then, you have to enable your console. To do this, (for XP, I don't know about Vista) right click on your shortcut, and click properties. Go to where it says " Target : " It should look like this : "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo\halo.exe" Then, add a space and type -console at the end. So it should look like this : "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo\halo.exe" -console

Then, to use it, fire up Halo. Press ~ on your keyboard. Look in the bottom left corner, you should see something like " halo) " in pink. Type in "version table"(no quotes) Look for the one you want, and type it in. Ex : " version 1.08 " or for CE, " version 1.08ce "

Now you can use your apps that work with 1.07.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Snorky, do you have a link to the /best/ 3rd person mod? I've been looking for the good one but am stuck with the broken one (aim is off).

Well, there isn't a perfect third person app, (just changing the camera position) for Halo, but there's one (except you have to type in the coordinates), and the one you are probably using are the ones I used. But if you can't get the version changer and the apps working, you can try Sky's the Limit, but it only works with Custom Edition.

Tried Sky's the Limit and got a bunch of error messages. Thanks though!

Halo CE forever!

User-made apps like the one you tried often crash if you got other user-made apps running or if you have some heavy modifications in the actual game.

I've seen that happen before, but this time I was using the app on its own with a vanilla install of Halo PC.
