Here is what you do

Post by Master_Makayo »

YOu have to go to Vehicles and select Ghost. In the top of that section, there will be a little box(Vehicle ID) with 6 selections, Ghost/ wraith is selected.
Change the ID to Banshee.
Then the ghosts should fly!

this is a PM dalecooper sent me so i don't take credit it was his idea but anyway here it is....

...You can't just swap physics, it messes things all up. You have to swap out a particular string in the vehicle meta. I did this for ghosts in my most recent mod.

In any map, go to the meta offset for the banshee + 2F4. That should take you to a string starting with 0500 0000. You need to write down the whole string, 18 groups of 4 digits long. Then go to the meta offset for the vehicle you want to fly, again +2F4. You should see a string starting with 0100 0000 CDCC (for a warthog), 0400 0000 6666 (for a ghost), or 0000 0000 295C (for a scorpion). Replace this all the way through with the banshee string you wrote down earlier.

Footnotes: meta offsets for vehicles can be had from IronForge's list. To add 2F4 to an offset, use your Windows calculator and make sure you're in Hex mode.

Additional note: some vehicles don't fly well, particularly as you start messing further with their speed and handling. I was trying to make very fast flying ghosts for my mod, but I ran into an issue that the ghost's heavy front end was making it hard to fly without crashing into the ground. Here's where I would suggest getting into HMT3 and messing with the physics a bit. I solved that particular issue by relocating the center of weight (x axis) more towards the back - i.e. a smaller value. On the std banshee, the center of weight on that axis is actually a negative number; it has a tendency to want to climb in the air, whereas the ghost wants to fall.

There might be an easier way, which is getting HMT3, and changing the physics. There, you can change the hover ability of the vehicle you want to edit. You can just give the ghost the same physics and vehicle properties as a ghost and it should work.
