General Modding Questions

Post by xXSi1entXx »

1. Is it possible to switch body parts on characters, like Johnson's head on a Spartan body?

2. Is it possible to add weapons to a pelican?

3. How would you go about making the marines enemies and the covenant allies(excluding the HMT 3.5 Team option)? I've tried swapping the bipeds and actor variants+the team feature but the covanent are my allies in (ex.) a30_a only not a30_b.

4. How would you make a Halo compatible sound file?

5. How would you make the framerate smoother while recording a movie with the Fraps? (I made a civi hog movie that had a terrible framerate so it was all laggy and sh!t.) :x

I've have HMT v3.5, HHT v5, HHD Hex Editor, SparkEdit, PPF Studio, PPF-O-Matic, Halo, and CE. Any help or reply is apprietiated.

And this is a lame question but how do your get a sig on here?

1. In CE, yes, in PC, probably not.

2. It CAN be done with lots of META and XML editing. (Much faster in halo ce, though)

3. You would need a scenario (scnr) plugin to do this. I think phenom released one.

4. Open up the sound you want to inject and an existing sound in goldwave. Cut and paste the new sound over the existing one. Hit save and reinject. (You need the Xbox ADPCM codec to open HMT extracted sounds)

5. Hmmm.. well, you could get more memory for your computer....

I have a scnr plugin that came with HMT 3.5 and HHT 5 but I cant edit anything, although in HHT I can view and swap a list of tags but its the same as going into the bipd and actv sections and manually editing them.

And you said the body part swapping is possible, how? what program or plugin?
And how can you add weapons to a pelican, I got lots of time.
O and my little movie thing, it began having a bad framerate when I pressed record. I know how some movies can be laggy and such when you same them in the mininum size possible but I saved mine in the largest format, cuz I got more memory than I'll ever need in a lifetime.

1. You would have to custom model/rig it in 3ds max, tag it in geurilla and compile it for imgame usesage.

2. Well.. you could edit the scorpion to have the properties of a pelican. (But keep the weapon) I dunno.. lol

3. I said memory, not hard-drive space. There's a difference.
