@RaFLoG_HD Unfortunately this is a bug in CE 343i broke several years ago. There's no way of fixing line breaks to my knowledge unless they patch it. Sorry!

Hello, thanks for the mod. I've got a problem, everything on the starting menu is on the same line. How do i fix it ?
Photolysis  [author] 18 Jul @ 4:51pm 
For anyone who's interested, a sneak peak of the newest map in development.

Still a lot of placeholder textures and geometry but hopefully people will enjoy!

I've gotten used to it by now, lol, it just took a little to understand what binds do what. Sorry it can't be fixed, but definitely still playable.
Photolysis  [author] 7 Jun @ 8:02am 
@AtonicJuno

Yeah that's a MCC bug where it shows the wrong keybinds. I can't fix it unfortunately, it was reported but as support has mostly ended it will probably never be patched. Very frustrating.
AtomicJuno 7 Jun @ 7:15am 
Okay yeah the menu is just a little confusing but it does work, it's just my bindings are all over the place thats all
AtomicJuno 7 Jun @ 6:59am 
Huh. When I tried it (on silent cartographer, maybe others work) the game never started when I selected my settings
Photolysis  [author] 7 Jun @ 3:50am 
@AtomicJuno

Repaired in what sense? It works?
AtomicJuno 6 Jun @ 1:20pm 
Will this ever get repaired?
MrSlipperyPineapple 4 Apr @ 4:09pm 
completely borked :(
Atomic maniac 4 Mar @ 9:32pm 
yes not the in game island

If it's the one I'm thinking of which the Digsite team released and they included a version with all the cool stuff they found in the files, then we're talking about the same map.
Atomic maniac 2 Mar @ 10:58am 
sorry i meant the 1st ever alpha build show case map
Photolysis  [author] 1 Mar @ 6:49pm 
@Atomic maniac

I did look at the map when it came out, but I feel it would need a lot of reworking. The spaces are very open and there are no real structures on the map, which means the player would be under a lot of fire, and also mean short range weapons aren't really viable.

I do still want to add new maps, but I do not have time at present to look further into this.
Atomic maniac 1 Mar @ 6:00pm 
can u do the 1999 halo map?
Photolysis  [author] 28 Feb @ 10:16am 
@WayWardSon1997

Because there is no engine support for this. Single player has a hacky workaround which will not work in co-op.

The game engine does not want to do ANY of this stuff.

Ultimately there are limits in what any modder can do unless the engine is changed.

why are we immortal its not fun if you cant die
Noed Abuser 15 Jan @ 10:14am 
ok, tnx
Photolysis  [author] 12 Jan @ 12:50am 
@Noed Abuser

It's yet another 343i bug where it shows the wrong keybinds. Default controls for PC:

E - next menu entry
1 - previous menu entry
LMB/F - Opens selected menu or adjusts chosen option
RMB - Goes back one menu level, or completes game setup if you are in the parent gametype customisation menu.
Noed Abuser 11 Jan @ 10:21pm 
I dont really get it how to start the firefight, i can switch between game mods, but it dosent let me to actually start the firefight, also space and left control seem to not be working
Frutiger Aero Connoisseur 6 Jan @ 7:52am 
ah
knowing 343i i kinda doubt they'll even fix it, they'd rather add more overpriced items to infinite
Photolysis  [author] 5 Jan @ 11:08pm 
@Slice the idiot

Ask 343i to fix, it's their bug introduced after I released this. If I could fix this, I would.
Frutiger Aero Connoisseur 5 Jan @ 5:41pm 
please fix the starting menu it sucks to control when everything is on the same line
Photolysis  [author] 22 Dec, 2024 @ 11:48am 
@Knight I've never heard of anything like that and it doesn't make much sense. You obviously can't see the file unless you launch without anti cheat. Anti cheat should also only kick in when files are replaced which this does not.
Knight 22 Dec, 2024 @ 7:38am 
I'm not being able to play the custom firefight because it says I can't access it because of an anti-cheat incidet. This happens with the anti-cheat disabled.
Jesus 10 Dec, 2024 @ 10:12am 
@Halsi try using a controller it will be better
Photolysis  [author] 9 Dec, 2024 @ 1:10am 
@Halsi - 343i bug please see documentation.

This is kinda bullshit to navigate and i can't see anything.
Cyanin 8 Dec, 2024 @ 1:17pm 
Just kinda sits there telling me how to switch gamemodes and doesn't repsond to anything.
Jesus 26 Nov, 2024 @ 12:55pm 
@Photolysis I think on Discord Halo Mods they have a way to have 2 tagtest simultaneous to test that kind of thing
Photolysis  [author] 25 Nov, 2024 @ 1:27am 
@Jesus - Appreciate the divine praise!

@SR388 - I'll look into that when I have time. Part of the problem is that really for co-op stuff I'd need 2 machines to be able to debug, so a way of running in split screen would be ideal.

I have some ideas on what I can do to improve this.
Jesus 24 Nov, 2024 @ 1:44pm 
Best CE mod
SR388 22 Nov, 2024 @ 11:42pm 
btw the alpha ring splitscreen mod makes both players invincible in this mod, don't have to fix it but it would be nice
Photolysis  [author] 22 Nov, 2024 @ 7:29pm 
I've been sitting on this for too long, but v1.02c will be available shortly. This includes a couple of fixes, improved Wraith animations, and some menu cleanup.

I've also added a new game mode Pink Mist, which Needler fans may enjoy, as well as 2 custom weapons in the Energy Sword and Sentinel Beam. These are completely optional if players prefer a more vanilla experience.

I would also like to thank Ruby of Blue for making the Energy Sword, Sentinel Beam, and Wraith assets available. Ruby has advised that both Mynameislol and Markel contributed significantly to these assets. A big thank you to all three for making their work available to the community.

@SkramzBop No worries, I really hate this bug, it causes a lot of confusion and it's completely outside my ability to fix!
SkramzBop 22 Oct, 2024 @ 4:10pm 
Thank you, I had read the documentation after I posted my comment. Sorry!
Photolysis  [author] 22 Oct, 2024 @ 3:49pm 
SkramzBop - please see documentation, this is caused by a 343i bug where the game shows wrong keybinds. Assuming a controller, navigation is done with A/B/Zoom/LT/RT.
SkramzBop 22 Oct, 2024 @ 12:15pm 
I can load into the game, but cannot start the match. Keybinds don't seem to work. (I am using default keybinds.)
Photolysis  [author] 5 Oct, 2024 @ 1:56am 
@TheCyberVirus

Are you using custom keybinds? Due to (another) bug in MCC, the keybinds shown are incorrect, so if you try to use the keys the game engine shows they won't work. Default keys are in the documentation.

Again, both of these are 343i bugs which I cannot fix.
Tano Pasman (Agosto) 5 Oct, 2024 @ 12:27am 
For some reason, it works with joystick, bur i think it's buggy with mouse and keyboard at the menu options, hard to read the text as well.
Photolysis  [author] 2 Oct, 2024 @ 1:09am 
@Meruem

This is literally discussed right below your first comment.

This cannot be fixed until 343i fix the bug they introduced.

343i broke this. It has been reported to them. I cannot make them patch the game to fix this.
Meruem 1 Oct, 2024 @ 11:09pm 
Unable to read text.
Photolysis  [author] 1 Oct, 2024 @ 3:57pm 
@Meruem

Fix for what?
Meruem 1 Oct, 2024 @ 3:54pm 
update? fix? still nothing?
Photolysis  [author] 17 Sep, 2024 @ 1:04am 
@Buzuru

No way to fix this until 343i fix the bug they introduced unfortunately. The documentation can give you the menu options and layout though, and it should be possible to read which option is currently highlighted even if part of the text is cut off.
Buzuru 16 Sep, 2024 @ 9:41am 
I can't read any of the menu text before playing a mission. How do I get the text to show so that I can see my options?
Photolysis  [author] 20 Aug, 2024 @ 5:52pm 
@MADOX-01

Define fixing? If there's something broken and it is possible for me to fix, I will fix it. The biggest problems people have are due to 343i bugs which I can't do anything about.

If you mean improving co-op, I would like to try but I don't have time at the moment.

This mod is perfectly playable in single player.
MADOX-01 20 Aug, 2024 @ 5:09pm 
Wait so you give up fixing this? Man i only just got into Halo again and i wanted to try this out :(
Photolysis  [author] 13 Aug, 2024 @ 1:09am 
@Axton_Lunark

Unfortunately this is the result of 343i introducing a bug causing line breaks to not work last summer. It was reported but will need them to fix.

There are several other bugs such as the game displaying the wrong keybind for these strings, these have again been reported, but with the lack of development this may take a long time, if it ever does get fixed.

Very annoying bugs, but I can't do anything about it. I even tried looking to see why the normal campaign is not affected, and the answer seems to be that it processes built in MCC strings differently, compared to taking the data from the map file like the game does here.
Axton_Lunark 12 Aug, 2024 @ 7:03pm 
Not sure if Ive missed something in reading here or where Im supposed to ask about this problem. My menu is laid out in one line across the top of the screen, Ive managed to mess with then reset some options, but for others almost half of the menu is completely off the edge making it illegible
