Hog Chain Gun Mod

CSW_Jakkle · Post by **CSW_Jakkle** » Mon Apr 05, 2004 7:00 pm

Hey guys im just starting mods, and im working on creating one that turns every shot fired by the hog machine gun into a rocket. I'd also like to slow down the speed of the bullets to maybe 1/2 of needler speed. very damn slow. anyone got any other ideas for this one?

wow
open up HMT and put the rocket projectiles for the chain gun bullets and slow down rate of fire and your entire mod is finished
think of more complex things that hasnt been tried before

oaky i decided to just change the Rwarthog. now it fires faster with a 50-round ammo count. i know this sounds ridiculous but i slowed down the rockets to make it fair. also, the possibility of some one "perching" over red base and raining terror upon blue base from that slope was way too probable, so i make the rockets explode before they would get to the base. for some reason, this only works 3/4 of the time though. its like there are so many rockets that they slip through the "wall".

ALSO::

the chain gun idea has been changed. it now runs on clips instead of the RHog. It forces you to make your shots worth it. i dropped the shake for better aiming, tightening up the aiming schedule by a hair. and made the bullets a little faster than needles. also, the ROF goes from 2 to ~5 or 6.

Im also going to mod the plasma rifle to be worth more, so people will want to use it more. The shotgun will have a higher ROF, but it will shoot less pellets. im leaving the damage the same. i think.

the flamethrower now shoot a little farther, but does less damage.

the rocket launcher is going to be similar to the hog, but its rockets are slow enough to dodge. its really only good for expert leaders and taking out entire bases now. 50 rounds. 8 rockets a second. make them count. A 6x zoom was added as well. This makes it easier to surprise people in a base from afar.

assault rifle- it now shoots more accurately, is a tad more powerful and has a 30 round clip. Its more like an M16 now, i suppose

Sniper Rifle- what every non-sniper wants. More shots and a higher ROF, but less damage per shot. I have changed the tracers to make sniping less obvious and more realistic. I believe it looks like a machine gun shot [Warthog gun][tracer 3]

Needler- Shoots ten needles at a time with deadly accuracy [rivals old pistol], but only has 4 rounds in the clip, and almost no turning. BTW, the needles travel ALOT faster now. Its like a grenade launcher.

the fuel rod gun's explosion does more damage, but it is hard as hell to shoot. its more like personell artillary for bases now. it has a deep arc in its path.

banshee- slower rate of fire, more accurate, and a tad more damage. helps avoid "Banshee tornadoes"

Alright guys I now have some problems im experiencing.

My pistol is boken. literally. i tried it out in blood gulch on slayer, and everytime i shot i noticed that i saw no bullet decal in the place. i got Diablo in there [CSW_Diablo , helps me with testing mods], i tried at point blank range shooting him in the head. nothing. then 30 seconds later i figured it out! My shots were exploding IN THE BARREL! i have no idead how to fix this phenomina. Ive tried many times. Im going to swap it with another model off of another level and try again.

anyway, the pistol is modded as follows: 5x zoom, just accurate enough to hit some one in the chest BtB. The shots do more damage, but you only get 8. this is almost as good as the sniper rifle, but the rifle is still incredibly accurate. i think its set to 00 give.

ALSO- I havent started on Plasma pistol or grenades yet. i want the plasma to only shoot over charges in half the time you can shoot only one regularly. anyone know how to do this? Do i set overload time to 0?

Players jump to 10 instead of... 7, i think.

anyway, thanks for your help. i stayed up til 3am last night working on this, offline of course. so i couldnt post til now. this morning. i think i slept 4 hours. oh well.

Tell me what you think! Im also accepting names. Right now we have Flying Death, Death From Above, Death from Behind

, and Speedball Halo

I think im sticking with calling the actual mod the Ultimod

Suggestions accepted, although i may not use them. Ive got to get back to work.

I like your ideas, try making something more complex too, like duplicating a weapon (requires map rebuilding).

I would be happy to contribute a few models,one for magnum(make it 6 pistol rounds, but incredible inaccuracy), A new rifle model(raised and extended back over the built in hud on the model, just looks generally meaner. A sniper smg model that I think fits your sniper rifle perfectly,some rusting skins, a nifty looking plasma rifle skin and a atomic shotgun skin.(skins by jatred, they were custom made) the shotgun skin still looks human, but blue. It was originaly going to be a copper sulfate cannon(fires plasma rifle rounds thats that arch)I recomend making RL mortar since it shares a projectile with rocket hog.to change the RL and not the have any changes on hog, use hht(halo hacker tool, like hmt 3 except less advanced and...it swaps DEPENDENCIES, not meta. very useful to have for modding a map, but still keeping it batch extractable, not to mention a few odd jobs(like removing models).

Uh... thanks guys but I got it under control. Sorry, but for soem reason i couldnt access here for 2 days so i couldnt respond...
anyway, I have the final version for the Human weapons done. Ill have the video up in a few days.

The video explains all of the differences. Guys, you also have to remember that this is onyl for the demo FOR NOW. I dont get the full version until saturday so im using this one. It wont be that hard to redo into Full version.

Lastly, I am looking for names for this mod.
I was going with Ultimod until i realized how stupid it sounds. lol. I was thinking Halo Reloaded if no one else took the name. I would make the full version mod Revolutions, you get the idea.
The reason i chose those is because its not changing everything about Halo, just making it more realistic. EX-No vapor trails on Sniper Rifles, just a machine gun tracer. Makes it harder to detect a sniper, just like REAL LIFE. lol thats almost the whole point. almost everything does more damage....almost. Plasma most DEFINATELY does more damage. in the books, it would eat right through a Spartan's Armor.

okay i didnt mean for this post to be so long. sorry.
