HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

You'll notice that the skin has a green hue, and the front "fangs" have a bright green glow. Unfortunatly, Sapien prevents you from adding new weapons, so this will have to replace your Plasma Rifle .bitmaps

To install:

Go to the Directory of C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo 2 Map Editor\tags\objects\weapons\rifle\plasma_rifle\bitmaps

Unzip the bitmaps into the folder, overwriting the current ones.

Since my Halo 2 is acting up, I couldn't get any in-game screens.

the normal one is better, but hey, first skin!

H2 Vista's first skin?

Neat.

how'd you do that , i think i have an idea, did u make a new shader rename the shader created to be appropriate the changed the name to plasma_rifle_main and delete the orig? thats pretty cool if u did i personally wouldnt of thought of that till now

ew. I personally don't like it. I realize the screenshots are from a 3d modeling program but from the looks of it, I dun like. It's nice to see skinning taking off in h2vista though.

its not from 3ds its from sapien...

If you would explain to me how to exactly import the skin in Halo 2 Vista, I could actually do my first mod =P

It looks really blocky

It looks a lot better with Super lightmapping. It looks slightly fuzzy becuase the image is saved a a .jpg

Here, I'll write a tutorial on how to do it without any tools (which would be currently). The method is a little unorthodox, as you will never guess in a million years how I did it!

modded the shared.map?

cloned the current PR and replaced the texture?

I replaced the .bitmap
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
See my tutorial on how to do this.

Damn that million years went quick.

Lol, cuz I told ya'll. Have fun with the skinning. It was more the process that was hard to guess. Of course you have to swap out bitmaps.

hey if you copied the plasma rifle item collection file and copied the plasma rifle tag folder and edited the collection filt to use the custom plasma rifle then could you use the custom skin there so you have a regular plasma rifle then another new plasma rifle weapon so you could swap it in sapien? (phew)

As by your join date I am guessing your new here. Welcome to Halomods!

However, please read the rules, as you made a Bump. Look at the post date to see if it is ok to post.

Now to answer your question...

No, as of now we cant edit weapons with the tools we have, it is not possible to edit item_collection or weapon tags. We cannot even make our own models! So with a copied plasma rifle item_collection tags, that wont make a difference.

Looks good man!

Sweet I like green.
