Templates

These are all the templates used for the HaloDemoMods wiki. Traditionally, one would use a template syntax, but for our purposes, simply copy a template appropriate for the kind of page you will be making from the code snippets found below and paste it onto new pages of that type.

Databases

Databases are pages which list a lot of a single kind of item, such as mods or tools.

Version: 1.0

Author: [[User:MyWikiUserName|My Displayed Name]]

Platform: (if necessary, use PC, Mac, or Intel, and state compatibility issues.)

Gametypes: (default is "All", but if necessary, indicate "Slayer Only", "CTF Only", or "Provided"
if the mod supplies its own gametype.)

CSS: Answer this question with "yes"  "no" or "semi". If you're unsure, leave 
this field totally blank. Can players play without downloading the mod? 
"Yes" = Server needs the mod, joiners don't need it. "No" = Server needs the 
mod, joiners need it too. "Semi" = Server needs the mod, and joiners don't 
need it, but joiners need it for the appropriate experience. (This field should 
be "CSS: Yes", "CSS: Semi", or "CSS: No". You can also tell us about certain 
CSS glitches here.)

Add a very short summary of your mod here. Tell us what you did in as few words as possible.

Source Code (version 2.1): [[File:DeGran_source_version_2.zip]]

Version: 2.1

Requirements: Mac OS X 10.4.11 or higher. It will open in 10.3.9, but there might be some issues.

Authors: [[User:002|002]] for the application, [[User:United_Nations_Space_Command|Sparky]] for the icon and cleaning up the UI.

Trivia: Version 2.1 was built over version 1.0c using similar code. If you want the first version, 1.0c, you'll have to compile it from source which can be found in this link: [[File:DeGran_Source.zip]]

This application can convert degrees to radians and back. This is useful for meta editing something that requires a measurement in radians. For example, Eschaton's scenario editor measures in radians when using rotation. Pi in this application is 3.1415926536. Also available is the dashboard widget [[Tools#Angle_Converter|TRIGger Mini]] Angle Converter.

[http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Blood_Gulch_(level) Halo Nation Description]

== Description ==

Bloodgulch features a tundra-like environment with sandy troughs and grassy hills. Sedentary cliffs border the map, and there is one cave near the red base that has two separate chambers. The map is well-balanced in that each team's side has comparable features.

Bloodgulch is the only multiplayer map that comes with [[Halo Demo]] and [[Halo Trial]] (confirmed). It is for this reason that it has been the foundation for the vast majority of Halo Demo mods, especially the ones that were created prior to the availability of several helpful [[Tools|Modding Tools]].

== Description ==

Teh bestest mod to ever be made.

== Background ==

An old Halo Demo friend of mine requested that I make this so that players who experience lag can still play, and also so that host advantage would be an issue of the past.

What this mod does is gives all players in the hosted game some help with autoaim so that they can better compensate for "target leading" required by network latency in multiplayer games.

== Recommendations ==

I suggest using this as a general mod to host with. Players without the mod will benefit from its advantages, and it really does help to level the playing field away from the imbalance of a host's advantage.

== Changes ==

I changed the pistol, sniper, plasma pistol and plasma rifle in the following ways:
* Increased Autoaim and Magnetism by about 3-4 degrees
* Increased Autoaim and Magnetism ranges by 10 world units and also by an additional 10x the world units on the sniper
* Created 4.5x and 18x zoom levels (pistol uses 4.5x, sniper uses both) and changed the HUD sniper scope bitmap appropriately
* Compensated for the increased hit ability on the pistol by balancing it -- giving it 16 damage instead of 25 damage
* CTF games start with Sniper, Pistol and Plasma Pistol; Slayer games start with Assault Rifle, Pistol and Plasma Pistol

== Reviews ==

; ''A Classic'' : The playing field is very open and the use of scenery innovative. The balanced and simple layout makes this mod a classic. Utilizes a Halo engine glitch with vehicles and scenery. --~~~~

Tools

It can be really tricky to figure out which category to place your tool in, so I suggest browsing the Using Categories information for a reference of all the appropriate categories for Tools.

Use the following template, inserting the application's actual information on a new page named after your tool. At the very top goes the application's logo, which should be uploaded to HDM as a PNG image and displayed on the new application's page at 128x128 pixel dimensions.
