HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Ok First things first. i got sword edit but i need some help with it.
I think im gonna change the ground to snow, need help on that.
Add some other peoples tags+maybe some vehicles, gonna also need help
Make it snow. help
No fall damage. elp too
add some trees and bushes from Assault on the Control Room with snow, help
ah crap...can someone post up a default bloodgulch because i somehow got it modded.

so i need help with:
Snowing
Snow on the ground
Adding weap, vehic, tags
no fall damage.
adding objects with Swordedit

Maybe a download of bloodgulch
and i also have a massive tag pack....

Unless Eschaton can PMI, you seem out of luck. Also adding weapon and vehicle tags is Halo: Custom Edition, which is not available for Mac.

But getting a snowy ground is done with skins.
No fall damage, go the the !jpt tag in hmt or Eschaton and change total damage to 0
Posting a download of bloodgulch would be illegal, but this may help you.

so does that mean i cant inject models of guns and vehicles into a map?
so lets just say i got some tags for an AK47 and i couldnt import it?
lame....

You can pmi with mac, silly.

Wait, you can?
I feel like an idiot today, I made a topic, realizing there is already one, THAT I POSTED IN a week ago.
I dont keep track with mac either lol.

Neither did I until I joined an all Mac halo modding community ^__^

Ok mac modder here, so I will go through the list:

-To make it snow, you will have to PMI the snow fallling from another campaign map

-To have snow on the ground, you can either
-PMI snow from a campaign Map
-Make Your own textures

-You cannot make tags on a mac (or I have never heard of it being done)

-No fall damage can be made in Eschaton. Go to !jpt tag, scroll down to globals/falling, then go to Floating Point Numbers, then cyborg and cyborg energy shield, and make both of the values 0.

-I never played much with sword edit... but I know you can swap objects for objects, like an assault rifle for a rocket launcher

-About your trees, you can swap trees for trees or bushes for bushes ^ ^

-Reinstall Halo to get your maps back, and Archive them into a very very very safe place, so if you screw up, you can open them up and just copy>paste em...

-About your models... you CAN inject models and skins on a mac...

If you can PMI and open either a map or tag in some type of hex editor or notepad like thing, you can make you're own tags.

Duplicate the tag, rebuild including it in the PMI, and I believe macs can import custom models? So theres no reason why you couldn't make an entire new tag with a new custom model on a mac.

With a PC, you can do the same thing but are limited in the model category.

ok so i can add vehicles and weapons by PMI ing....how and what does it mean

by PMI, you are perfect model injecting, meaning you are (example) taking the wraith from the 5th level, exporting it from the map (along with its sounds, effects, etc..) importing it into the new map, say bloodgulch, and perfecting its model...

you are on a mac, so you use HHK to export and import it recursively into a map, and you use HMT to:

-export the original mod2 meta
-import the original mod2 meta
-and to append the model with the original vertices and indices

then you make it spawn...

tutorials can be found in the tutorials section, but I used this one to learn how to PMI: http://www.macgamingmods.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3557

Putting snow in a MP map does not cover the ground with snow automatically. You need to swap the ground textures for those from AoTCR or Sidewinder. Easy.

An easier way to turn off falling damage is go into the bipd tag in Eschaton, find flags and check "No falling damage".

If you would like any more help, I am usually available on;

MSN: iamloor@hotmail.com

ok thanks guys for all the help, expect my first mod soon in the mac section!!
