I while back, I had tried to make a flaming wheels mod for Halo PC, to no avail, it wouldn't work right in the game.

A few weeks ago, I tried to install the shiny mod, but it didn't work.


Today, I start up Halo and go to Blood Gulch. BOTH WERE WORKING!!! Does anybody have an explanation for this? I didn't upgrade anything....

You didn't happen to use a leafblower near your computer?

No, my leafblower called it quits when I got CoD2 working on my Radeon 9250 on high quality at a decent framerate.

Ooh...what brand did you use? I use (and recommend) a Toro, and it's been great so far...

But I fixed it, like the genius that I am.

The shiny mod he's referring to is a PPF patch that adds restored shaders to the game. Basically, Gearbox forgot to put in "teh shiny" or add the correct shaders. With this mod, your assault rifle looks shinier and reflects the light around it and looks similar to the AR on the Xbox version. It also makes alot of other things shinier, like the Longsword bomber at the last level of the campaign, the Maw, and it makes the flag pole shiny, and other things as well.

Why wouldn't it work on CE? They still contain the same files, just slightly different ways of running. So I can't install shiny for CE?

Good q.
It is my personal (and slightly paranoid) theory that the ninjas are getting a little ban-happy. And aggresive towards people who try to make jokes.

I don't think they're getting banhappy. I'm sure he deserved it for some reason. I'm just curious as to why, he didn't seem to be antogonistic around here.
