HaloTYmer

HALOTYMER V1. 0

===============

Thank you for noticing HaloTYmer!

I originally started this project because I wanted an in-game timer for Halo: Campaign Evolved that could accurately track my runs without needing to rely on an external timer. What started as a fairly simple timer ended up becoming a much larger project to properly track the game, remove time that shouldn't count, save records, track deaths, and keep everything directly inside the game.

After a lot of testing, rebuilding, and full campaign runs, HaloTYmer has officially reached V1. 0.

I hope you enjoy it!

WHAT IS HALOTYMER?

==================

HaloTYmer is an in-game speedrun timer for Halo: Campaign Evolved.

Instead of simply counting real-world time, HaloTYmer reads the state of the game and tracks the time that should actually count toward a run.

The timer automatically detects which campaign mission you are playing and handles starting, stopping, and transitioning the timer between missions.

HaloTYmer currently supports the 10 main campaign missions:

Pillar of Autumn

Truth & Reconciliation

The Silent Cartographer

Assault on the Control Room

343 Guilty Spark

The Library

Two Betrayals

HaloTYmer also keeps track of your personal records so you can compare your current run against previous runs directly in-game.

REQUIREMENTS

============

HaloTYmer requires:

- Halo: Campaign Evolved - PC

- UE4SS for Halo Campaign Evolved - Version 1. 3

Download the correct Halo: Campaign Evolved UE4SS package here:

https://www.nexusmods.com/halocampaignevolved/mods/9

HaloTYmer V1. 0 was built and tested using the Xbox App / Game Pass version of Halo: Campaign Evolved.

I have included the expected Steam installation paths in this README because the Halo-specific UE4SS package supports both Steam and Game Pass installations. However, I have NOT personally tested HaloTYmer V1. 0 on the Steam version and I cannot confirm that it currently works there.

HaloTYmer V1. 0 was built and tested against the Halo-specific UE4SS v1. 3 package, which is based on UE4SS v3. 0. 1 Beta #0. I recommend using that package rather than a generic stock UE4SS install.

HaloTYmer is made up of two parts:

1. HaloTYmerNative - the native UE4SS portion of the mod.

2. HaloTYmer - the Blueprint/HUD content portion of the mod.

Both parts are included in this download and both are required.

You do NOT need to download a separate program called "LogicMod." "LogicMods" is simply the UE4SS Blueprint mod directory used by Halo: Campaign Evolved.

INSTALL UE4SS FIRST

===================

Install UE4SS for Halo Campaign Evolved before installing HaloTYmer.

UE4SS for Halo Campaign Evolved v1. 3:

https://www.nexusmods.com/halocampaignevolved/mods/9

The UE4SS package should be installed to the game's binary directory.

Xbox App / Game Pass:

Halo- Campaign Evolved\Content\Meteorite\Binaries\WinGDK\

Halo Campaign Evolved\Meteorite\Binaries\Win64\

Follow the instructions on the UE4SS Nexus page and make sure UE4SS is working before installing HaloTYmer.

HALOTYMER INSTALLATION

======================

The download contains two folders:

HaloTYmer V1 Binary

HaloTYmer V1 Content

I named them this way to make it easier to tell which part of the game installation the files belong to.

STEP 1 - INSTALL THE BINARY / NATIVE MOD

----------------------------------------

HaloTYmer V1 Binary

Inside you will find:

The "dlls" folder belongs inside a UE4SS mod folder named:

HaloTYmerNative

XBOX APP / GAME PASS

Halo- Campaign Evolved\Content\Meteorite\Binaries\WinGDK\ue4ss\Mods\

If a folder named "HaloTYmerNative" does not already exist, create it there.

Your destination should be:

Halo- Campaign Evolved\Content\Meteorite\Binaries\WinGDK\ue4ss\Mods\HaloTYmerNative\

Copy the included "dlls" folder into that HaloTYmerNative folder.

The final DLL path should be:

Halo- Campaign Evolved\Content\Meteorite\Binaries\WinGDK\ue4ss\Mods\HaloTYmerNative\dlls\main.dll
