Mommy, he's doing it again...
Yesterday, BOLL messed with some new Flash stuff. It was pretty easy to overlook; at first glance, it blended right in. His newest offering doesn't quite do that... (Louis Wu 16:09:29 UTC) (permalink)
More on the 1.04 updater
I've already changed local links on the 1.04 Mac Halo updater, so that there's no confusion about which files to update. (The first updater, from 1.03 to 1.04, had some serious issues. The new updater, from 1.03 or 1.04 to 1.041, solves these.) However, the press release sent out by MacSoft on Thursday pointed to two mirrors on our servers - and I have no easy way to redirect those deeplinks to the new files. I've done the next best thing, then - I've replaced the older updater with the new one, using the old NAME. Now, if you get the file off our servers, no matter what name the archive is under, you're getting the 1.041 updater. If you continue to have update troubles with this one, just reinstall Halo from your CD, patch it with the 1.03 updater, and then with the new 1.041 updater. This has worked in 100% of the cases I've heard of so far. (You do NOT need to mess with the files in your home folder; your serial number will NOT need to be reinstalled.)

That might be FUN...
Whoa. ViolentlyHappy ran across a pretty bizarre glitch when updating his Mac Halo to 1.041 yesterday. (He fixed it by reinstalling from the CD, and patching the clean version... but it's still pretty weird stuff.) (Louis Wu 14:44:36 UTC) (permalink)
We miss you, Ar.
A year ago today, one of the best members of the Bungie Fan Community passed away. Please raise a mug of Dwarven Ale in honor of our dear departed friend, Brian Morden aka *Ar-Isildur. (Ding 12:55:44 UTC) (permalink)
She Is In This Strip
Today's One One Se7en was supposed to be yesterday's One One Se7en - after all, it's a Holiday strip. Stuntmutt didn't count on my overwhelming incompetence, however; I think MC's rubbing off on me. Anyway, go read it. It's nice when people look on the bright side. (Louis Wu 02:34:00 UTC) (permalink)
Something old, something new
Matt Grap sent along a few screenshots of some work a friend is doing; he's in the process of porting the Halo weapons to Marathon. (Well, okay, Aleph One.) Right now, he's working on adding melee attacks as secondary fire for each weapon. The love just doesn't stop! Check these out:
- Flamethrower (139k)
- Assault Rifle (137k)
- Rocket Launcher (111k)
I, for one, find this heartwarming. (Louis Wu 02:18:29 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Stellar Cartography
Walshicus submitted a monster collection of work; a star chart of the Halo universe, along with an enormous amount of information about these and other stars. We've packaged the lot and (hopefully) made it easy to follow; you can find it in our Miscellaneous section. Fan Fiction writers... take note of his comments near the top.
