HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Ok I'm going to make a Battle Rifle because it seems pretty popular. So any suggestions like what to put in it, kinda texture, ect, you can post here.

3x (or 4x) Zoom... Hm...
Pistol Rounds (swap damage with AR melee)
And find some nice sounds and effects... :p

For zoom I can do 2x, 8x, and 16x. I think I'm doing 2x because it shouldn't be overpowered. Anyone have an idea for a texture?

Increase the damage a bit... not too much... say, take the pistol's damage and add half of it to it... maybe double it, I'm not sure...

Decrease the clip size to 25...
Lower the ROF...
Add a 2x/4x Zoom...
Try and make that Covenant rifle seen before; quite little info on it. It looks like this. Use your imagination; like a new Covenant shotgun, or, THEIR "Battle Rifle". Try and make it a Shade laser projectile with high damage. Not as much as a human's BR though. A little faster ROF as well, but not as fast as a Plasma Rifle's. Battery should be...30, 45, or 50. Depends on the damage.

Edit: Come on, the Covvie rifle could be challenging and fun, if you work hard on it, it will pay off a hell of a lot too. Wee.... early Halo 2.... lord praise you shadow...
Also, I said a Shade's laser because it's fast moving.

ok for zoom on the halo e3 demo it is 2x zoom

Any texture ideas? I could really need some cause I'm not that imaginative.

I personally would just keep the original textures. Bungie did a fine job themselves.

Dude, he made a DIFFERENT MODEL. It would look damned wierd if the digital counter was on the scope or something. Anyway, try and keep the body. As for the top, scratch the digi-counter and put like a black area with a green crosshair for the scope lens. Come on man, it's not hard to imagine... if you want to make the Covvie rifle, just think...
It could be a Plasma Shotgun..
A Battle Plasma Rifle...
A Sniper Plasma Rifle...
I think you could make an artillery blaster. Make it shoot the Wraith's energy comets, and make it a reloadable weapon, which needs to reload each slug. Either one is real cool.
Just let your mind flow with thoughts. What could this be? If you see a good idea, snatch it and filter out the overpowering things or balance them out. Like the first thing that came to my mind when I saw that rifle was a alien version of the BR.
EDIT: For even more suggestions if you're bored, you could also make the mystery Covvie rifle into:
- A Plasma Mini-gun(200 battery, high ROF, I'd say plasma rifle's + half of the plasma rifle's ROF).
- A Rocket-ish version of the Fuel Rod, except make the Fuel Rods weightless(you could use the Fuel Rod in SP too this way, but I don't reccomend this one at all, I like all of them, except this one and the steam laser is okay).
- A Covvie Stream Laser - make it shoot the Sentinel's Laser with a little higher damage. Change the beam's texture if you want too...

I meant keep the same texture style, panel-like greyish panels. Mmmm.... redundancy.... anyways, He should wait (he has to wait anyway) so he can build onto the original model, unless he's really good at eyeballing things (size, shape(if he's keeping the general shape),etc).
I hate double parenthesis.
I thought the new cov. gun looked more like a sniper rifle. Reminds me of Tribes1's laser rifle.

I realize now I do have quite an imaginative mind if it's interesting to me. I could be a really good programmer when I grow up...
And I could be a very good modder...

Oh, and Shadow, you better be damned good at eyeballing things. Or I'm gonna slap you upside the head with this virtual Assault Rifle that the virtual person that represents me currently has since I'm 'bout to play Halo.

how do you change rof?... its really pissin me off because i cant figure it out.

Looks more like a normal battle/assault rifle to me, you could add a scope if you wanted though.

Yes, you are extremely imaginative. It scares me. The sooner you learn to program or model, the sooner people can see what you see. Not to mention you get to play games in Computer classes because you finish before everyone. Mmmm....zsnes....

and a reminder. when you finish the battle rifle, make it a .ppf file

it should have up tp 8x zoom(like sniper rifle), it should shoot pistol bullets, and somehow try to import the battle rifle sound from the e3 demo. as for the skin, keep it like it is in the halo2 video

Dude, didn't you read everything else on this damned topic? He's making it 2x. 'Dats it.

I'll start modelling tommorow as well, Dan.
Shadow try and post your progress every once and a while... we're a little excited about this you know...

Oh, and ZSnes is a emulator on the computer for SNES... dude, what are you doing Dan?(I have alot of emulators and ROMS kept for a while now)
P.S. If you don't know what in the hell we're talking about, don't worry about it, please. I don't like having to explain things OVER AND OVER AND OVER.

What format are the models in halo coz i'd really like to use some of my guns ive modelled

You need a extractor for that. Like for Age of Mythology, the game theres like something.bcc. If you extract it shows the files buried inside. But you need a special program for that and I don't think anyone made that for Halo yet. But if they did we could be importing Cyborgs and Grunts into Gmax!

Shadow, whats your progress on the rifle?

I'm changing name. Assault Rifle to Battle Rifle but I keep getting an error! I'll try and fix it... Maybe you guys can help. Here's a pic of what it looks like when I got the error. I still have it and no idea on how to fix it.
Omg I can't load freewebs to upload pic! Well I guess I haveto fiqure out by myself.
