I made it so the plain warthogs in blood gulch fire plasma bolts rather than the bullets. Also, I made the "muzzle flash" blue to match the plasma bolts. I Also also changed the bitmaps and the sound.map so that it sounds like a plasma weapon as well. To make it fair online, I made it fire 12 shots per second, because the plasma bolts are somewhat stronger than the hog bullets(normal hog shoots 15sps). In the original version of this mod, the ends of the barrels were long and sharp(milkshape 3d), but that made the map file over 30 megabytes. So in the first public release, It is the normal barrels, but they are black. Enjoy!

You wont see this in this version, but it may be possible later.

It fires plasma bolts.

The bitmaps were changed to make the muzzle flash "plasma" blue.

What? No Bullets? Oh yeah...

I presumed that I would but it in my HALO folder because it does with the HALO game... does it go in a folder within the HALO folder? That's what I meant to ask.

could you tell me where to put it?

You don't put them in a folder anywhere; they're ppf patches. You need either PPF-o-matic or the Helpful Halo Hacking Tool (HHHT) to apply them. Both should be available in the Halomods files section.

You need to apply each patch to the appropriate .map file in the folder Halo\MAPS. The patch with "sounds" in the name gets applied to sounds.map, the one with "bloodgulch" goes to bloodgulch.map, etc. The .jpg files are just screenshots, as you've probably noticed, and can be ignored. Apply all three patches and then load up Blood Gulch and you should have a plasma 'hog.

I noticed that your plasma hog still discards shell casings when it fires. Is there any way you could eliminate this little problem?

...or replace it with glowing shell casings? It would be like uranium plasma shell cases, to keep the plasma from escaping and to add some human explosion power.

it might be possible to edit the bitmap so that the casings are invisible...
