Newbie here, how do you play as a Covenant?

I just got into this hacking ordeal, and I really want to learn as much as possible so I can complete an ideal project.

Could someone please explain to me how you can change yourself, in campaign, to say an Elite? Or a Grunt? I know how to use those offsets and such, and I've done a few things, but I'm stumped on this and I'd really like to play as an Elite and drive a Wraith Tank, or play as a Grunt, and just gallop around.

I downloaded the offset list for Halo PC-retail, and I'm just not exactly sure how to do it, or what hex values to change. Step-by-step, someone give me the low down. :?

first off, its modding, not hacking. common mistake :)

anyway, first off find the biped for the MC in your offset list. write it down.

second, find the Elite biped, and write down the value (there should be something like offset, value, then meta).

open the map in a hex editor.

use the goto function to go to the MC offset.

type in the elite value, save, play :)

serpx, this might b easier...

1) Goto http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=6

2) Download HMTv.3 by MonoxideC

3) Open HMT... Open bloodgulch.map in you maps folder

4) Click the little + next to biped

5) find characters\cyborg\

6) Click swap and choose characters\elite\ or characters\grunt\ etc.

:D Hope this helped. HMT is like a really e-z hex editor

No it's not exactly what the other guy said.
DrAgOn3 explained with HTMv3 while the other guy used Hex Editor.
Very different.
*edit* I was typing this while DrAgOn3 was typing...

hummmmmm,,, the HTM3 doesnt work, cuz i go to [bipd] and theres only 2 kind, character/cyborg/cyborg and character/cyborg_mp/cyborg_mp

But when i click on swap, only thouse 2 appear, i dont see no grunt or elite there...

Im talking about MP maps, not SP

Then you would have to rebuild the map with the new Biped.

Look in the tutorials section of the main site.
Don't blame the tut for the lousy models you may get.

Ya, i know, ive done it on SP before, on Silent Catographer when i had demo, the character acted just like an elite, only could stafe left and right and move foward and backwards, but no weird movements. And couldnt get inside a warthog, lol...
