Halomods.com and The Halo Modding Future

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

I recently went to check in with the goings on over at Halomods.com and to my surprise I was greeted with this message

To the guys at rework3d and anyone else who was a fan of halomods.
I’ve decided to discontinue the site for reasons you can probably figure out yourself. If anyone is interested in taking over the domains and the rest of the site, send a message outlining your future plans for the domain\site to hm.sourceguy@gmail.com. Whoever has the best plans for the site can have it. Deadline: 20 feb.

Now I knew there were some big changes that went on, there was a new domain and stuff but I was very shocked to see it complete down with everything gone!

Disallowed Key Characters – CodeIgniter Error

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Getting the error “Disallowed Key Characters” ? This error was caused by developing locally on my machine (127.0.0.1) with xampp, i used the windows host file to re-direct halodev.snaver.net to my local web server for development. However when i switched to developing online, i removed the host file config for the domain and then upload my website to my server, this is when i got the error.

To fix i had to clear my cookies, i believe it was a cookie problem as i also changed my unique $config['encryption_key'] in the config file.

General Site Maintenance

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

Recently had time to look over the site and update a few things that were getting out of date, and generally cleaning a few things up for everything to carry on running along smoothly. The halo photography gallery now runs a beta version which has better SEO features such as permanent id’s, so it friendly for search engines which I have been experimenting with lately so we will see how that goes. I’ve also spend a bit of time creating accurate meta keywords, descriptions for pretty much all pages and also sitemaps to get Halo.Snaver.net up there in the search engine rankings! The site is currently 8 or 9th for the google search ‘Halo 3 Photography‘ which is pretty good going to be honest, hopefully start to push traffic with other search terms once the changes I’ve made start to take effect.

I hope to have a new site online for the release of ODST for users to upload screenshots or movies or whatever really, with features like uploading from desktop and also directly from bungie.net! also want to start pushing the site very hard at that time with a fresh new design and better hosting, or atleast for the databases which power the site which are starting to get fairly large!

That’s about it for now, for updates check here or just look around, i should be updating every so often now i hope!

Peace!

Halo 2 Beta Gallery

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

All these images were captured and taken during the testing & development duration of Halo 2, these test are commonly referred to as the alpha or beta stages of the game. From these images you can see how certain features in the game evolved into the final product you play today, and some that didn’t make it but shipped with Halo 3.
