Halo Checkpoint Manager v3.0.0 (Test Release)
This is an experimental release of a nearly completely re-written HCM. There's some new features, some yet-to-be-implemented features, and most probably some crashes or bugs that may occur. It also currently only supports the most up-to-date version of MCC, not downpatches. Please head over to Burnts Tool Testing Zone discord to report bugs & crashes or for general feedback.

Change Log:
Too much to list everything, but as an overview:

  • Large architectural change: all cheat implementation and GUI is now handled in HCMInternal (what was previously called the overlay) instead of via HCMExternal (the "main" window that managed your checkpoint library).
    • This means you now use cheats by interacting with an overlay inside MCC. You can click the arrow or hit the tilde key to toggle the GUI.
    • All cheat stuff is now implemented in c++ & internal to the MCC process, instead of c# & external to the process. Generally speaking, this makes things less buggy, more performant, easier to maintain and best of all: more power to do cooler stuff.
  • A couple new cheats already implemented, like:
    • Cheat Medusa now implemented for Halo 2 (instead of only Halo 1).
    • AI freeze toggle for all games.
    • Force Launch/Teleport for Halo 4 (and all other games of course. Was previously not implemented for Halo 4).
    • Pause game and tick-advance.
  • Better hotkey system that supports multiple bindings to a single function (ie you can have some for M&KB, some for gamepad) and combo bindings (needing to press multiple buttons together to trigger a hotkey).
  • Some UI improvements to HCMExternal:
    • Folder Explorer now shows vertical/horizontal scrollbars if content too large.
    • The right side of the UI can be dragged to the left to give Folder Explorer more room.
    • Columns in main checkpoint view now auto expand to fill available space and clamp to the right side.

Known Issues

  • Currently only supports current patch of MCC (3272). S7 (2448) and S8 (2645) support will be coming. Nag me if you want other versions too.
  • A lot of cool cheats that I intend to implement aren't implemented yet. Trigger overlay, Player Info, camera/theater stuff etc.
