Halo 2 Deathisland mod in the works

IWTPH2 · Post by **IWTPH2** » Tue Dec 30, 2003 3:47 pm

I've begun making a Halo2 mod for Deathisland and yes I know alot of Halo2 mods have already been done but so what? Why deathisland? Because in the intro to the E3 Demo new mombasa reminds be of deathisland cause it looks like a huge island...anyways please post what you would like to see in this mod and I might put it in. Things I cant do are new models, new sounds and bots, I could probably do new skins but I'm not sure where to get some of the tools I need for that like how to get the textures into photoshop.

One thing that I will be doing with this mod is making banshees and ghosts explodable and I'll try to change their explosions to a plasma grenade explosion to be more like halo2

you would prolly need to change collision models

I would also need to rebuild with the single player ghost and banshees and their physics too right? cause they only blow up in single player and the ghosts and banshees in multiplayer have MP next to em so theres probably somthing dif with the ones in singleplayer

Ok I have a Q, where is the explosion for the banshee or ghost stored? They explode very nicley and thats all fine and good but I cant find where their explosions are stored.

Should be in "effects" I would think. But if you recursive saved the SP banshee and ghost, the explosion effect should be saved as well.

You should put all the warthogs in, Snow, Jungle, etc. from the previews and the weapons (I think you already knew that though

). If theres any way to up the graphics a bit you could do that.

I um...cant say I know how to add 4, or is it 2 new warthogs but I am planning on making the Rwarthog like the one shown in the E3 demo and have it shoot whatever that stuff it shot was

Well that's easy, just make it shoot a fast rocket that has reduced damage and force. And change the sound.

I'm not even going to have it shoot a rocket, I made it shoot alot of shotgun shells with 0 spread, I think the sound of it shooting sounds alot like the one in the e3 demo already. How do I give the cov turret a recharge thing, like the thing where u shoot three rockets from rocket hog and those little recharge dots appear.

Go to the turret weapon tag and make sure "single fire" is selected in the middle.

good luck making a cool night death island
I have tried and tried.. but cannot get the water to darken any.. the rest of the level in my mod i'm workin on is perfect though.

so daytime would probably be the best?
