Modding Halo For PC

[The Dark Lord]

 

Here's the modded map so far:

 

-Floating Sniper Platform (sky)

-Portals to sky platform and other areas for sniping

-Watchtower at each base (useful for sniping or getting a better view of the enemy)

-Flying Ghost vehicle (flies like a Banshee)

-Warthog (rocket) that shoots fuel rods as you drive (no need for a gunner :P )

-Armoury containing several gun spawns.

 

Issues:

 

-Guy who created the original mod made each weapon fire different things...

-Assault rifle shoots sniper bullets.

-Plasma pistol shoots needler projectiles

-Plasma rifle shoots Master Chiefs

-You can only use frag grenades, and they look like rocks (totally [bleep]ed the hell up...)

-There are plasma grenades, but you can't use them...

-There is no pistol.

-You can't pick up the flamethrower.

-Blast radius of fuel rod was increased, so it's annoying to use without blowing yourself up...

-Sniper rifle shoots tank shells.

-Flying Ghost shoots machine gun bullets (which is cool, actually), but it also shoots copies of itself instead of the fuel rod bombs that Banshees have as a secondary weapon...

 

What I plan to do:

-Correct the projectile problem

-Add in a needler gun.

-Add in an energy sword spawn (if I can)

-Add in tanks.

-Add gun turrets.

-Add more stuff around each base so they look like forts (probably won't, though).

-Provide unlimited plasma grenades.

-Make the flying Ghost stop shooting copies of itself.

-Correct frag grenades.

 

 

I'm going to try to fix out the glitches and stuff. It will be a pretty awesome map once I'm done with it. :P

 

If anyone knows anyone that's good at modding/customizing Halo maps, please get them to help me. Thanks.

Just my view, so please don't take it personal...

 

But sometimes modding and stuff takes the fun out of the game because of how complicated it eventually gets. I speak from experience, and everytime I enter a modded game, it's always really laggy and I end up flying up towards the sky whenever I fire, and there's no fun in that. Then I just look for regular games.

 

The furthest I'll go with mods are:

- No banshees, because sometimes overuse of banshees gets downright annoying

- All sniper mod (pistol secondary and maybe leave shotguns at the bases) with unlimited ammo (but you still have to reload)

 

Don't look at me like I'm an elitist. I respect your right to have fun (whatever you may call fun), but I'm just saying.

 

Let me know how your plan goes, though.

thats technically a gametype. not so much a mod. a mod changes the whole game itself, from models and skins to vehicles and obstacles (bases, floating logs, etc.)

 

as for your issue pertaining to halo modding...im part of a community with very good modders.

youll find a forum there called "mods" and you can request stuff or DL stuff already been made

Can someone please give an exact step-by-step way to PMI something?

 

I'm trying to PMI marines and hunters into the Bloodgulch map (multiplayer) with the marines representing the red team and the hunters representing the blue team. I'm also trying to PMI the energy sword into the same map.

 

Every tutorial that I find always ends up not explaining a vital step, and then I get messed up. =\

according to my knowledge, you cant PMI 2 different character models. You can have marines v. marines or hunter v. hunter, but not 2 different ones. These is a mod called AI Gulch which is a Player v. AI Elites map, but I haven't the slightest how they got it to work, and it still doesnt work very well.
