The mod is for The Silent Cartographer, and has many of my previous mods incorperated into it.
From the readme:
-New enemy: the "Spirits"
-Made usable energy sword (See note 1.)
-Made Railgun
-Made Pulse Rifle
-Made better version of the Nuke (This one has that tricky bitmap)
-Gave AI better weapons (See note 2.)
-Nighttime
-Beautified the level
-Small sound mods here and there
-Swapped some scenery for the Banshee, Ghost, and Pelican (Which is drivable)
-Swapped in the Double Speed powerup
-Made Banshee shoot plasma nuke beams
-Injected the LongSword (See note 3.)
-Injected swamp fog from 343GS
-Injected rain and bugs from 343GS (See note 4.)
Thanx to MaCeGaC for the screenshots!
Enjoy! (post ur comments so i can make it better!)

That thing you're seeing in the first picture is an Engineer.

allister, be quiet.
the thing ur looking at is a spirit, its an enemy i made. yes, it uses a modified version of the engineer's model, but it moves, talks, fires, and everything else differently.

Crap I'm having trouble puting it on.
It fails to transfer every time I send it to my box w/ flash fxp. Thats after I have combined it with cache003 and everything....plz help! I know how to put mods on but this one isn't working! Grr... Do I have to do it different on a campaign level? I've only modded campaign levels with HCE.

patch it with HCE, since its on the box theres no need for ftp-ing

Nevermind everybody! I got it to work lol. With the combined genious of The Swamp Fox and a guy on xboxconnect, I got it to work.
Wow. This is my favorite campaign mod.
The only bad experience i've had is that sometimes when I get in a ghost or a banshee the frame rate slows and I have to change vehicles. Love the nuke, though.
Wont work

I can't get this patch to work. I use PPF O MATIC, and I cant see my cache file when I click on the floppy to choose a file to patch. So, I type in the file manually and the program says the file was patched ok. Then I choose the level and the cinema starts, but it is the same level! Also, when I try to clear out my cache files, it works fine, but when I load Halo from my HD there is a loading screen, and I still have all my cache files!
Any help would be great, Thanks!!!

Which cache are you using? I had problems, too.

I was using cache000.map

adam07: the frame rate sloows down when u get in a vehicle if u have doublspeed. (btw the "picked up a flamethrower" bow is a doublespeed)
SEHF: how could u possibly patch this to a floppy if the file is 278 megabytes?

nice job swampfox, totally different than what i expected from what you told me in irc. you're becoming a l337 modder man!
oh and die all of you who say "you should make this for pc"! if you can't play xbox mods or don't want to port these to pc yourself, then don't come to the xbox files forum!
