in the halo 2 forums, i have already announced my work on this project im working on... im taking the pistol from halo pc, and remoddeling, reskinning, and reducing its damage, making it semi-automatic, etc. Basically im trying to make it as much like the halo 2 magnum as i can. heres a pic of the model in milkshape... i am working on getting a proper skin. Yes that was originally the halo pc pistol:

EDIT: in comparison with the original pistol...

EDIT2: the only problem i can see with it is that the barrel is a little short

EDIT3: hmmm... i was looking at some pics of the halo 2 magnum, and apparently, it has the over-sized trigger guard just like the halo 1 pistol... ill have to fix that

EDIT4: wow... this is a lot of edits... ok after looking at some pics of the magnum, i realized how long it has been since ive played halo 2, it still has the large trigger guard, and the chamber is still mosly behind the handle, and the only two differences i can see is that the scope is removed, and the clip is smaller. i will do another model according to this, because i think although the previous model is good, it looks more like a 9 mm

yeah it did help... thanks do you think its a good job? (i mean the top one as if it was supposed to be a 9 mm)

EDIT: and yeah, by the way you were sniffling a lot in the vid... otherwise it was very useful

EDIT2: okay, i put a newly made model in the game, (ignore the skin), and here's two pics (a normal fp, and a reloading shot):

srry the pics arent very big, but i would like to know what you guys think

does anyone know what te damage is for the magnum?

EDIT: ok i skinned it, but the thing is, it still looks the basic color of the original pistol, anything i can do? maybe editing the light effects on it...

EDIT2: ok, i have released the mod here... the orginal skin that royal gave didn't look very well, so i made my own... (it looks kinda like the pics at the bottom of the thread at the other side of this link, except better, i updatedit since then)

if i can figure out how to improve the skin, then it would be better... and by the way every mod could be better...

the only reason i double-posted here, is bc i wanted everyone to see this (it was pretty far down the list)... i know i made this mod quite a while ago, but i made a ppf for it, allowing you to apply it much easier.

EDIT: before you dl, theres some stuff i forgot to include... just a sec.

EDIT2: how do i edit the user interface on a weapon... i looked on the bitmaps in hmt, but i couldnt find it? there were a couple ui files for the pistol in there, but not one for the clip area.

EDIT3: btw, i know the pics have broken links, ill fix that in just a sec

EDIT4: ok, i made a new skin w/ some interesting text brushing, and put in a .ppf file instead of different models. hope you like this.

if i am not mistaken authors are aloud to bump there own instead of making new ones.
