ManagedDonkey

What is this?

• This is Donkey, a project I started back in August 2022 after years of reverse engineering the Halo engine and learning C++ while I went.
• I wanted to write my own take on what a Halo mod should be and started going to town, putting all the information I had in my head into one place that others could use it (Except for Faber).

Getting started

• Source a build of Halo Online ms23 1.106708
  • Extract this to somewhere like G:\Games\ms23; we will refer to this as GameDir.
• Grab the files from DonkeyFileShare.

Project Configuration

• Right-click the game project

  • Properties -> Debugging -> Set Working Directory to the GameDir.

• Right-click the launcher project

  • Set as StartUp Project
  • Properties -> Debugging -> Set Working Directory to the GameDir.

Building:

• Git and Powershell, only for the last commit revision

Debugging:

• Required Extensions (Visual Studio 2022)
  • Smart Command Line Arguments VS2022
  • Microsoft Child Process Debugging Power Tool 2022

How can I help?

• Mostly just by testing Donkey out.
• Ideas are welcome.
• No outside contributions, please.
