HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Well, my first (release) non-recursive non-biped swapping mod for playing as a Special Elite on SC is almost ready for release. I'll post pictures when I get home this arvo.

Basically you play as The Redeemer, a special Elite sent to "redeem" the humans' souls. Your armour is pure balck, which is weird because I didn't alter the bitmaps or anything. You can carry the energy sword, and I added a version which can actually be controlled. It isn't a true sword, but hell it works and that's all we care about, right? Your job is to protect the map room against the humans and to find the control centre. You can get Ghosts and Banshees, which take damage from collisions, and also some Marines have been taken prisoner and are being guarded. Don't attack these as they have valuable info for the Covenant to find out, but sometimes they turn on you and your pals for no reason. More details and pics when I get home.

lmao about what?

Readme:
OK. Hunter here, presenting my first release (second attempt) non-recursive meta-swapping biped switch for SP. Second attempt, because my first was playing as a Marine on T&R. Boring.

So, you play as Eye of the Prophet Ichb’ Natra (a character of my own invention), a Black Elite with orders to reinforce the Covenant 7th Battalion, who are guarding the Silent Cartographer map room against the Human infidels, and find the ring’s control centre. Hmph. Simple enough plot, don’t you think?

But this mod is not as normal as it seems. For some reason, your character (Ichb’ Natra) is completely black. His armour, I mean. “So what?” you may say. Well this is what.
1) I did not TOUCH bitmaps.map
2) Black-grey Elites do not come into the game until the 8th level, Two Betrayals. There are none at all in Silent Cartographer.
3) No Elite, Black or otherwise, is pure black like Ichb’ Natra. None whatsoever.
4) When your shields flare up, they turn you royal blue instead of forming an aqua energy field around you, like they should. This got you “conf00zed”? Me too.

Pretty soon I’ll release more of these, with you still playing as Ichb’ Natra the whole time.

Some changes to the level:
1) Pelican which drops ‘Hog now drops Banshee. Tried to make it into a Covie Dropship (the Pelican, dummy), but it wouldn’t change. There is a Ghost on the beach.
2) You are now a Special Forces Elite, duh!
3) Humans are your enemies, Covies are your pals. Some Marines are now defectors and Covie POWs
4) YOU CAN CARRY AND USE ENERGY SWORDS! WOOT WOOT! (Although the one you get after the Pelican crash is not a true energy sword. The real one doesn’t do anything.)
5) Crashed and sunken Pelican added near the invasion beach, crashed Covie Dropship
6) You can now drive Covie Dropships!
7) Collisions now damage (or destroy completely) your Ghost

Seeing as Ichb’ Natra is a bit of a mouthful, he will now be referred to as The Redeemer (short for Redeemer of Infidel Souls). I thought this was a cool name, to suit a cool Elite! Also I have a storyboard for a new cutscene, so if anyone tells me how to make and inject new cinematics (if indeed possible), then expect a cool starting scene, which explains why there is a gutted Elite Commander and Marine lying on the beach.

Be careful of the Ghost, as colliding with rocks, trees, logs, cliffs, etc. damage it. If you’re a bad driver, stay well clear of all scenery.

Cutscene Idea: Long shot of beach. Covie DS roars over camera. Lands on beach, Reclaimer leaps out carrying energy sword. Runs up to Gold Elite. Talks. Hears inbound Pelicans on tapped human comms channel. Swears. Sees Pelicans. Marine throws grenade at Gold Elite. Kills Gold Elite. Redeemer stabs Marine violently. Fades to gameplay. More details later, and details for EC: The Maw end scene, which shall OWN...Scarecrow knows it, I told him.

Pics:

Yes I know it's dark. Cutscene from Shafted.


Driving the Ghost


DAMN THAT TREE!

I also made this mod...
Though it was a Meta swap...
And if you're an Elite you can't start the level with a dropship, you start on the beach.

Here's mine BTW http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=5716

What is it with you and chickens? Is there something you're not telling me?

Also I know you start on the beach. Really irritating on Legendary, because the Marines take off 2 health before you can even move...
Also swapped the Banshee for a driveable Covie Dropship. It looks screwed when the Pelican carries it, but look the other way and you're fine

Also you can do suicide bombings now, get your Ghost down to 1 health and ram it into a solid object near the target...
BOOM!

Just need to fix a few things, .ppf it, and then release it.

Also, here's the Maw cutscene idea:

Redeemer makes a run for the Longsword. MC beats him to it, Redeemer takes a swing at MC's head with his sword but misses. MC turns and blasts him in the chest with a shottie at point-blank range, Redeemer's shields deplete and he crumples over clutching his stomach. MC closes the hatch, but Redeemer clambers onto wing just as Longsword takes off. He runs to the overwing hatch and opens it, just as a spore jumps at him. He gets in, closes the door, and runs to the lower cabin while MC isn't looking. He collapses in the shadows. Cortana scans, but Redeemer is dead and the spore has gone dormant. But as the Longsword flies past the camer, into space, a horrible slurping can be heard...
*cut to inside of space station hangar from Halo 2 trailer*
Longsword approaches and lands. Hangar doors close, MC opens hatch and gets out. Walks off. But from our vantage point at the other end of the bay, we see a large black shape run out and head towards the camera. We see Redeemer, now infected, still wearing his armour and with the sword, running towards the camera, flailing his arms, slurping...

How's that for a dramatic ending? I guess you can see where Halo 2 Elite Combat is going....hehehe....

You should, seeing as you're so full of it.
Stop spamming, renounce spamming in front of everyone (and NO DO NOT CREATE A NEW TOPIC FOR THAT), and only post useful info and I'll leave you alone.
