Welcome
After being detached from the community too long. I worked with a very infamous person of the "cheating" community on this Server Browser Exploit. The person being iDunPlehLeg1t, he has been selling hacks yada yada. I finally worked with AsK Rolek/Nicotine with the newest exploit. I thought it was a previous exploit that had been wrecking servers that iDunPleh had found. gunmonkey80 had been claiming that he was doing this, come to figure out it was not him and a bug with the browser itself. I asked iDunPleh if he knew anything about it but with him being away from Halo 2 Vista longer than I had, he just spend around 20 minutes and figured out the newest exploit.This new exploit has been tested on a dedicated server which will crash the Halo 2 Dedicated Server filter aswell that has been suggested by JohnnyBlaz20 and Squirrely. This was caused by forcing a 5Byte NOP on the description/gametype pointers. Then before xlive has a chance to 0xFF or null all of H2Server/Halo2.exe's memory you would pause the process so it would continue sending out the "Game is available" network calls. Or something along those lines, I'm trying to sound proper here so yeah....um like It keeps sending out the Name of the server, Gametype, Map, and Description of the Server/Peer hosted game. So when you refresh it would crash unsuspecting clients.
Thanks to iDunPlehLeg1t for finding and sharing this exploit. You guys can continue to hate on him if you must.

Lately in the Halo 2 Vista community there has been a lot stirring around. Mainly the few things that have called Worldwide H2V panic are the released "cracked" hacks of codehpro, and the H2V Server Browser "crash" of gunmonkey80. I would like to write a little on the both of these, as I know the full story and been trying to get people to listen. Like always I'm trying to speak but the "BS" layer keeps over running what I need to say. Whatever... Well this is everything that has been found out/proven a lie.Also I would like to "address" some of the people who need to get their facts straight, I won't be saying any names but there has been multiple people coming to me saying "Ur li3k go1nna do th1s? U d0n car3 b0t no0ne". So this is to get yall's facts straight ya herd....
1. Gunmonkey80 starts with a "Bungie" mod that was easily done if you knew what you were looking for. It was the same as Halo 2 Xbox. Everyone believed that he was a Bungie employee, yada yada. Many people came to me asking if it was a hack, which I declined because I know who it is. He was just having fun. This started the whole "detailed" information about "Halo 3 PC" and a rumor if you messed with him he would shut down the server browser. That is for another section though. So far its just innocent trickery, and messing with the people of Halo 2 Vista.
2. codehpro, is the most random person to ever spawn on the face of Halo 2 Vista. I myself have not figured out his actual identity or if codehpro is it. Oh well. Doesn't matter to me. codehpro downloaded a version of PingoCE's multi-hack that was not protected so he easily decompiled it in to Visual Basic code (VB.Net) This prompted a few errors which he searched google for a few hours to days trying to figure out. (It isn't even that serious, anyone with half a brain could figure it out even if you weren't a programmer. Yea... about 30 min top) Once he got the sauce...errr source code he just copied and pasted then put his name on top of it. Which is blatant stealing, robbery, copyright breaking, and looked down upon among programmers. Later on when he got called out by multiple people on youtube/various sources because he didn't even bothering changing the way the hack looked. He decided to re-add the credits page that said PingoCE and continue to release this "cracked" version.
codehpro has also released these links under some "get money" sub-links where he can get money for each idiot... er not knowing person who downloads them. This is all a money game and ImpactPro, myself, and even iDunPleh have proven that his hacks may contain a "bug/worm" This worm was coded in VB.net and runs in the background and clicks his "get money links" We quickly disassembled the bug and rendered it so useless that it could safely be removed. (If you try deleting it, it would bring up a "Wtf Process is in use retard" error)

There were a ton, I mean a freaking TON of clips that did not get put into the montage because of youtubes 10 minute limit. The first time I edited this one maps bounces Metropolis came to around 15 minutes easy. We did this on quite a few maps :O So I had to re-do it for a total new edit that was short and featured most of the "tactical" or "good" bounces. And about half of these bounces you can do in actual Campaign without reaching the fall speed timer death thing.
"Can someone upload the maps for Halo 2 Vista again, I modded mines and now they don't work...Also I forgot to make a backup. Please Help me". Is this you? Have you forgotten to make a backup of your maps before modding, or something whacky happened and you have corrupt maps? Don't feel like re-installing? Well this program is for you, Just drop in your Halo 2 DVD copy over the comressed .dtz files to your map directory and drop in this program. Run it and follow the instructions and bam you have your maps back! ALL CREDITS goto: Grimdoomer, I just put it in a neat little program.KDP Download

Well, its been awhile. Nothing really released on this site because my pc's been down. But I managed to get it running for 40 minutes yesterday, I started testing some of Sandbox's Dedicated Server side functions. Soon there will be Teleporting or "Jumping"Here is the youtube vid.
Also in other news, There is still progress being made on Project Whisper. It is close to finished, we are just working out bugs and finding ways to detect cheating. On other news JohnnyBlaz found Immune To Headshots in Halo 2.

So far so good. I had done alot of "background" site maintenance since there was nothing really released or much traffic for this past week. I fixed a few errors with the Photo Gallery so thats finally up to look at.The site may go down with a "Be Back Soon" message Thursday Apr. 8, 2009 for a few hours while I get a backup of my site. Just wanted to let you guys know, also the new Blu Trainer is in development by Myself, JohnnyBlaz20, ImpactPro. With help from Ping0 and xbox7887 (the pro himself)
Thanks to all.
Quoted from Grimdoomer:Well it's been a long time since I posted anything for Halo 2 VIsta. So I decided to roll out an update. I crap load of things have been fixed, but even more crap is still broken. I don't know the most important part of the map file, the padding scheme. Without that I can't properly add new data to the map.
Gravemind Beta v1.5
Fixed
- Meta Editor - It now loads a lot faster, can view every tag properly, including bipd, weap and vhic.
- Bitmaps are now working, you can preview and extract every bitmap, you can also inject, though it may not load the map due to me now knowing the correct padding scheme.
- Sounds are now previewable, you can preview and extract almost evey sound, there is one type I have yet to figure out, and injection does not work, same prob as bitmaps.
- There is a Decorator viewer, although it too does not work.
- Gravemind can now open Multiplayer maps, yes thats right, too bad there is nothing worth editing in them.
- Auto Update system
Warnings
- Tag Builder still broken
- Chunk clonner unfinished
- BSP View does nothing
- Collision Viewer broken
Notes
- You must configure your settings, by clicking the Settings button.
- Although it is not required it is recommended you resign all maps.
- Tag Building is still in its "Experimental" form and will cause your maps to not load.
- Only internal raw offsets and sizes are displayed.
- Gravemind will alert you on any updates.
- Please enjoy!
Gravemind will be open source sooner or later, but first, if you can help me with the padding scheme, please do.
