CabooseSayzWTF

Alot of people confuse me with another Caboose from way back when, I think most confuse me with SoTG Caboose whom i've never met or talked to haha. We just both have the name Caboose and mod, idk if that's who you think I am or not haha, however I used to be pretty active on xboxchaos but my memory from there is kinda meh at best. However other sites I stomp around are mostly 7s (se7ensins) and before 7s was ttg but I remember almost nothing from my ttg days. My memory is kinda shot, when I got covid back in 2019 it basically deleted me if that makes sense lol, alot of my online life is a bit of a blur when it comes to forums and people, however once in a blue moon I remember stuff I forgot and what not. It sounds worse than what it is, I remember alot now but for about a solid 2 years things were pretty rough, however there's still alot that I don't remember. But anyways to your question, modding wise I mostly do xbox 360 modding but it's mostly random stuff. Menu here, menu there, binds here, binds there, some random file edits to do this or that, nothing really that interesting. Halo wise I can barely remember how to do literally anything. I keep having to go back and re-teaching myself basics as basics are about all I can do with halo these days. I mostly only touch halo 2 and most of that is mainmenu edits lol. Lately been trying to throw a Insignia mappack together, one that actually works on insignia og xbox live replacement. Halo 2 seems to have specific checks so that custom named maps will not load via xbox live (which is why we had to use the default 12 maps and the dlc maps as modded maps to play on xbox live with in custom games), I found a semi bypass and have it so I can load bare minimum 27 maps via custom games, I blocked matchmaking from being able to be played so people don't get instant banned from insignia due the 1.5 xbe checks against map hashes, however the 27 maps as is load and work in custom games fine! I'm still testing it as is but hope to release it soon. I've not sat and made any of my own maps besides a quickly thrown together demo derby map that is very basic at best, and some quality of life changes to super foundation 64 (room music, question mark block texture, grenade throw sound, and minor edit to scarecrow - fog no longer directly in your face so you can actually somewhat see the play area without a burst of green fog in your eyes

Hiya! I don't know you haha, but I am well. Life is going well no real complaints! Don't much game these days, I still mod games from time to time but it's mostly just to get content on my channel, and not really for personal enjoyment. I plan to retire from game modding by 2025. (getting too old for all this haha). After that I plan to get back into the swing of casual gaming with my wife and little one.

Updated: 6/2/2019 - Added PPF Noobs Mappack - Updated Minigames Mappack to v1.1 - Updated DoorM4ns Legacy to V1.1 - Added + Updated XLink-Kai Definitive Halo 2 to v1.1 - Added Useful XBE's + Hudless/Weaponless Gamemode UPDATE 6/3/2019 Xbe's have been updated, redownload if you downloaded them on 6/2/2019 UPDATED 6/10/2019 Updated XLink-Kai Definitive Halo 2 to v1.4 Updated xbe's to v3 UPDATED 6/17/2019 Added Halo 2: Complete Edition Added Halo 2: Prophet/Bomber Edition

I couldn't tell you tbh, I don't play xlink kai nor do I use updates. If anything I only ever use the 1.5 xbe's just for ai and such but thats about it, i never install the actual update or use them for halo 2 as I have legit no reason to, and some mappacks can get screwey on updates 1.1 and 1.5 from what I have heard so I stay away from 1.1 and 1.5. - Also HockeyFans (Old Maps) cheating mappack has been added to the post as well as a personal pack I made based on DoorM4n's maps. EDIT: 5/23/2019 Thanks to dominaters recent link to some racing maps which consisted of some of cam da mans maps and shadows maps, I built a special pack called MiniGames mappack, it has a total of- 25 Racing Maps- 3 Demo Derby Based Maps- 2 Paintball Maps- 3 Dodgeball Maps- 1 Boxing Map- 1 Soccer Map- 1 Ski Map-- I'm still going to work on the pack, however at this very moment i'm really needing some duck hunt based maps and yellow brick road if anybody has the patches for those.

Added allied mappack 1-2months back, just now added United mappack v1.6 (rebuilt) includes most United maps, I think i'm missing just 1 map, the mapapck will be updated with map images and a okay mainmenu once the last map is found. I also updated AI revision xbox 360 compatibility files, this fixes a few bugs with the mainmenu, the main one being the broken start screen! I however could not fix the red scrollbar minor image corruption.

Just keep in mind back in those days I wasn't around, I was so behind, I bought halo 2 the day halo 3 released lmao (I didn't even know halo 3 was being released that day) I was a poor lad and finally saved enough to get halo 2 as well as the original MP mappack that day lmao. With me not really modding halo 2 very much at all, I learned pretty much everything by myself to make my own map as well as learn how to compile a mappack and make fixs etc for the broken packs. It took me maybe 1-2month learning process with just guess work, most mimieses maps are actually in killtrocity and phantom by default, anyways my own crash derby based map i threw into mimesis, i also included a specific gamemode to go with it so the map works properly as it can. I'm still noobish with halo 2 modding as is, I havent worked on halo 2 in maybe 3-4 months ish, so I basically forgot most of what I learned but it was fun to say the least! I say learned most by myself mostly because alot of tuts have broken images, broken english text so on and so forth. I want to like aurora but due to how my games are setup I get hundreds of thousands of xbe's and xex files loaded into aurora and it makes it very difficult for me to even categorize it correctly lol, So I just stick to xex menu since I'm more used to it, to me it's faster also considering I have game series based games in one folder etc, idk how to explain it and it make perfect sense haha I just can't use Aurora or FSD because of that, now if I need to ftp or like do a quick game update test sure i'll use it but thats about it.

Glad you enjoy! You could possibly find covers on a covers website or even a google search, I play these on my rgh so I never bothered with covers, I also don't use custom dashboards just due to how I set up games and how many xex and xbe files I have, using scan paths mess everything up via Auroa and FSD just due to how I have it set up, also not a big fan of custom dashboards anyways lol, I just use XEX MENU for everything because it's simplistic, i only ever recommend Aurora because it auto-updates games to latest game update, but I manually patch my games so no worries there. Good luck though non the less. Yeah the AI Revision has a error somewhere in the mainmenu.map for it to not be compatible with x360, somebody a long while back did do a .xbe edit to make it work on 360, however I could never figure it out, thus why I just made a new mainmenu for it and a ai enabled xbe. EDIT: also the Memises Reborn was my project to revive mimesis after the "Mimeses Revived" unpatched mappack which was just like sppf patches, however not ever map in that pack was apart of mimesis, so I included all original mimesis maps + cut maps that were going to be in the pack, plus a few extras that I liked.

I CabooseSayzWTF Salute Every Single One of You! Ooh Rah!! TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS1. Dirty Disc Errors: Clear Cache, and make sure your font files are not in 100+ folders, like each font in its own folder, this causes dirty disk and invis text errors. 2. Damaged Content/ Damaged DLC: Most mappacks have 50 maps included, with that said dlc map slots were taken up, so you get damaged content error messages. The fix for this is simple, either delete your DLC installation via clearing out the halo 2 and halo 2 content folders in Udata/Tdata as well as clearing cache or you can just ignore the message, also make sure you have no corrupted gamesaves, profiles, or gametypes which also cause damaged content error messages. 3. If a modded mappack folder name has (- . , ! @ # $ %) any special symbols please rename the folder as in remove the special symbols as it will cause alot of issues. 4. In any modded mappack, if they come with more than 1 .xbe (1.0 or 1.5 XBE's) be sure to choose which xbe you want to use and rename it to [default.xbe] to avoid game boot up issues that could occur.

This compilation is to make the normal halo 2 and the dlc installer both obsolete! All dlc included in this pack, all maps, everything you love about the original halo 2 is right here! As a bonus to make it a normal and complete experience, I have included the dlc gamemodes as well. I also included EVERY QUICK OPTIONS MOD TO DATE. SO in Mp the quick options list is extensively modified and much bigger in a pregame lobby to make your gametype edits. I even added some custom timers such as instant respawn, CTF timers, Territories timers, assault timers. Just keep note of this though, even though the full experience has the dlc, you can not play dlc maps with players that are using the dlc installer. So whoever you want to play with give this pack to them!

Mimesis: Reborn-- View on 7s Killjoys V2 (Halo 3 Themed Mappack - Updated)I added 4 more halo 3 themed maps to the mappack. Allied Map-Pack--View on 7s United Map-Pack v1.6?This pack has been re-built for the most part, keep in mind the mainmenu is basic, no map images, most maps do not have descriptions. I may be missing a few maps, but this is the best I can do atm. DoorM4ns Legacy v1.1The maps were made by DoorM4n the maps were supplied to me from Redherring32 and Anubis, I thought DoorM4n deserved his own special mappack just because his maps were so freaking awesome! MiniGame Map-Pack v1.1These are racing maps, dodgeball, demo derby, soccer, ski, boxing etc. Pretty much smashed together small mappacks. XLink-Kai Definitive Halo 2 v1.6Map Pack Description:This Halo 2 consist of the best user made maps from every Halo 2 modded map pack and other stand-alone modded maps. As voted by members of every Xlink-Kai discord, they include maps best fit for Xlink-Kai gameplay, from competitive to a few fun maps. 12 of which are updated to include Halo 3 weapons. Also, are several better "Lockout" maps on this Halo 2. So hopefully if it spreads enough, we no longer have to play on the same Lockout 100 times a week. 1.6 Info This pack has accomplished its goal as being 100% System Link Compatible. While there are a few bugs left that couldn't be tackled, the team has worked countless hours, days, and months to bring you something everybody can enjoy. We hope you enjoy the map-pack as mush as we did creating it. - This is the very first 100% System Link Compatible modded mappack in halo 2 history, besides cheating mappacks and Halo 2: Combat Evolved. Combat Evolved at its core is 98% vanilla maps with halo 1 styled modifications added. While Definitive pack is a mappack that was created with Kai 100% in mind and maps voted by members of discord purely, without all of our beta testers and staff team this would of never happened, and I CabooseSayzWTF thanks every single one of you that played a role in helping this mappack ever shed the light of day.Discord Server For This Map-Pack: HERE Halo 2: Online Coop Campaign Mod - Broken(Updated)I made a new mainmenu, proper map listing's, added god mode to every map to avoid a few issues. Added helpful map descriptions telling you what team to play on and or what gametype to play the map on. Added weapons near player spawns on maps that refused to force the player to spawn with a weapon, and more. This is my Broken But Playable Edition, enjoy. Halo 2: Prophet/Bomber EditionThis mappack is probably one of the worst I have ever seen tbh. So much cringe!Anyways since it is a mappack, and does have some "Okay" modded maps, it will be added to the archive. Halo 2: Combat Evolved (Most Recent Newest Version)It's strongly recommended that you download this version. This is the most up to date version. Has actual Halo 1 assault rifles, pistols, ui edits, better balancing, and much much more. Also grab the gametypes.(Gametypes go in 4d530064 or 06f300fa in UDATA) depending on the xbe you use.
