If you want the shaders fixed you should go here http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=54776 this restores some of the missing xbox shaders in Halo PC. Also tell us what setting your playing at like your resolution and otehr settings. Also say what graphics card you have.

Yeah, by the way, those restored graphics won't do crap if you don't have a GPU that supports shaders.

If you want to apply the shaders, you need the PFF-O-MATIC, which is available here.

I think they might have had an update on the restored shaders, if so, I might download it.

-Shotgun Ammo
-Sniper Rifle Ammo
-Rocket Launcher Ammo
-Fuel Rod Gun cubemap, 3rd Person (1st Person ran into file format problems)

Mostly it means your not its favorite person. Select the shaders (.ppf) file as the Patch File and your Bitmaps.map (with C:\ as you hard drive, it should be at c:\program files\microsoft games\Halo\maps\bitmaps.map) as your ISO.

Microsoft's mandate was to use the new pixel shaders, which is the reason why some things were not like the xbox, as well as differen't shader tags to work with the PC.

Some stuff GBX did screw up on, like the AR and FRG shaders. Jackal shields and the covie force fields are differen't due to PC archetechure.

No signature found. Click here to change this.

Well, part of it depends on your graphics card. Take an in-game screenshot of Halo PC, and show it to me. You'll either have Xbox-rate graphics, or cut-down ones.

In any case, the updated shaders available on HaloMods only work if you have a higher-end graphics card, along with the Xbox-resemblent appearence.

Damn, that`s too bad!!!
I have stupid Nvidia Geforce 4 440MX(with AGP 8X)
And it doesn`t suport neither pixel or vertex shaders!!!!!
Well, I am about to get some better.
What do you think, what shoul I take anyway?
It need to be 3.0 pixel shader suport!!!!

You're still going on about this? You can't make hardware do things if it can't do it. It's like trying to get my 9800 to use Direct X 10. The fact that it will run at all on such low-end hardware is a testament to the skills of the port.

I that all anyway, in that ppf file I mean, but why aren`t there fixed energy shields?
And...
You know the little book you get with halo when you buy it?
Well on the page 8 the picture shows what is health and bla... look to the targeting circle - you can see jackal but his shield is not like those on PC, it is more like energy than a water like in Halo for PC!!!
Now look up to the num. 234(it remaining ammo!!!), it reads 234 but next to it reads something?(It`s too small, can`t read), and on the assault rifle where is number 60, under 60 is picture of bullet and a X ???!!!???Up to 60 is N(witch probably means north?)
Is that available anywhere?- or will it be on the updated version of those ppf file?

It's called a manual, thank you very much.

You need to realize that this manual is ripped off of the Xbox versions, there is virtually no difference with the exception of entries under Weapons and Vehicles for the fuel rod gun, the defoliant projector, and the rocket warthog. That isn't "available" anywhere, it's simply something Gearbox couldn't put in the game, you should understand that.

Calm down and would you please not spam exclamation and question marks at the end of your sentences!??!!?!!!!?!??!?!?!??!
