Play as a marine

I was trying to do a mod where you play all the levels as a marine, and it mostly works.
One Problem: The marines can't throw!
The marine makes the motions for throwing a grenade, but it just drops right in front of you!
Can someone please help?

You might have to set the same biped settings as Master Cheif to the marine.

How do I use that plugin? I just want to know where you edit it to make the monitor be able to pick up an AR.

How can you make it so you are a marine in MP? I'm not sure exactly so point me to a tut or tell me please. Could help the mod I'm working on.

You batch extract the MP map, and add marine meta data to it. Then you do the offset swapping stuff etc...

But what do you swap, I tried rebuilding with the marine meta, and I'm not sure I swapped the right things. I did this a while ago but gave up as I was working on other things.

First open up the map in HMT, and change the marine's team to player.
Then open up the offset lists and find the cyborg's offset for the MP map you want to change.
Next, go to that offset in a hex editor and open up the offset list for the SP map you took the marine from, and replace the value with the marine's.

No wonder, I don't have a hex editor so that's the step I didn't do, Thanks a lot.
edit:I have another question though, could you rebuild with the meta, and JUST swap the bitmaps for marine hands and body with cyborg hands and body??? I really only want the look of a marine.

the marines don't have a first person hands, so they use mc's, you could just photoshop it to look more marine-ish

No can do, don't have photoshop. I'm working on getting a copy, but it's not that probable. However thanks for the info. I'll stick to trying to get a camo cyborg.
