HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

i am currently working on my first mod in a long time, and i decided to release what i have so far
i am taking the sniper rifle, and making it so that instead of it being a sniper, it is an emp. in case you dont already know, an emp is a weapon that completely obliterates shields, but damages nothing else.
here is the model i am going to be using for the sniper (yes, it was originally going to be an ak-47, and it looks much better in-game):

i am working on getting a skin for the contrail. for now, i am not reskinnning the sniper itself, but i will later if i need to.
i already have all the effects done, i just need to finish this up, and release
what you guys think?

The model looks a bit weird from that angle.
Get another/more pic of it from a different angle - some were you can clearly see the model so people can get a proper look.

Yes, please post a better picture.

would you be able to just erase the sheilds and make no actual damage?

yeah, cooldude, thats what an emp is. and thats what this whole mod is all about (actually its pretty simple)

i know what it is i was just wondering if you would be able to do that

anyways i decided to go ahead and skin the rifle, and the mod is turning out great, except for one thing. the model looks funny in-game near the part that is circled:

i tried to skin it to make it look better, but i cant seem to get it to work. once this is resolved, i can get some pics and release the mod.
heres an in-game pic:

dont just look at the pics, read the text it explains why it looks weird

looks pretty cool seeing that its halo pc

yeah, well seeing that the only stuff that ive posted, is the stuff that still needs work. ill see if i can get a screenshot of it firing (so you can see the new contrail) also, it has a new firing sound that i think you'll like.

EDIT: ok, well my milkshape expired, so i cant edit the model any help plz?

it's not that the model looks weird, it's that parts of it look weird, like a visual artifact, etc. just look it over and make sure it looks smooth, and nothing seems too out-of-place. otherwise it's a nice model!

yeah, but

Well that sucks look like your gonna have too buy it.

well, im just gonna release the mod as it is, you can edit the model yourself if you want (ill update with a link in a few minutes)

looks nice.
one thing for the emp, can't you just make it shoot fast plasma pistol shots.
they wipe out your shields, or do you want the shields to be wiped out until you die?

but that wouldnt be as cool also, about the release, i know i said i would release it yesterday, but im trying to get a video togethor first, since i cant really show much with the pics

yea gh0570fchurch if you havent already finished i was gonna say that a good sound to use would be the night vision activation sound because it sounds quite futuristic and a bit like movie plasma, when i used it on one of my plasma rifle mods it turned out great, anyway i thought it could give you an idea.

oh my god...the normals burn my eyes @___@... try and make ur normals nice and neat

Is that even possible for a remodel in Milkshape? >.>

Meh... It's ok.
