sorry the link is dead u cant download it anymore
but this is what lpe is
A sad story.
As some of you my remember, back in October I announced a map pack compilation and an automated compiling program for it named the
Halo 2: LAN Party Edition Auto Compiler. I was planning to release this package on the one year anniversary of the release of Halo 2. I made the announcement some time prior to release because many of the map authors were undocumented and I wanted to allow time to gain approval and for people to post their names to be included in the package. Before the release date my posted topics were deleted without explaination several times and I was repeatedly harrassed by a halomods modderator. After this unwarranted abuse I decided to cancel the release.
A happy ending.
In celabration of the Halo 3 announcement I have decided to forgive, forget, and Re-Release! And as a reminder to the mods, admins and users, Please don't flame and talk to people before you shoot them.
Halo 2: LPE
Halo 2: LPE is a compilation of over 120 multiplayer maps form:
Halo: Combat Evolved
Halo: Conversions
Halo: Custom Xbox Edition
Halo Maps Final
Halo: New Map Project v1.1
Halo: New Map Project v2.0
Halo 2
Halo 2: Bonus Map Pack
Halo 2: Killtacular Map Pack
Halo 2: Maptacular Map Pack
Halo 2: Allied Map Pack v1.3 Full
Compiling LPE is incredibly simple. Once you un-rar the package you will see an executable named "Compile Halo 2 LPE" and a folder named "Input". Just copy your unmodded copies of Halo, Halo 2, and the Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack into the Input folder and click "Compile Halo 2 LPE".
The program will run for about 30 minutes and when completed will replace the input folder with a brand new ready to burn Halo 2: LPE DVD image. The package is just short of 900 MB (50 MB smaller than downloading each map pack individualy) and requires 8 GB of free Hard Drive space to run (Not incuding the original games in the Input folder as they are deleted shortly after the program starts). And as I would hope very pleasing to the modding community, the package uses ppf patches and contains no xbes, M$ Videos, or even font files so it's legal! I am currently adding error detection and cleaning up the code a little but it should be done and posted on boxtorrent within a week. If anyone is willing to host for me or run a tracker that doesn't require registration it would help a lot. I have my own dedicated server but it isn't very fast.
I've included a couple little bonus features as well.
You can place any Bink video file in the Input folder and the compiler will use it as the intro movie. The default intro movie is the new Halo 3 Announcement trailer converted by me in full High Definition.(yes it's legal)
You can also place any wma audio file in the Input folder to replace the background music. But make sure the wma you use dosn't have copyright protection on it or it won't play.
I have included a debug option allowing you to veiw the command output if you're having problems.
My video capture card is not hooked up right now so I can't take any pictures of the DVD in action.
Thanks for your support, feel free to leave your feedback.
This is a beta version, only download if you intend to send feedback on the functionality of the program.
