I'm taking everyone's advice and putting ALL of my 'covenant campaign' mods in one thread.

I also want you to grade my modifications and tell me what's wrong and what needs to changed. Here is the grading scale:

A=Excellent
B=Good
C=Decent
D=Needs Improvement

I will bump this thread everytime I upload a mod on youtube. So if you have any questions. Please post it here.

Keyes
Before lighting and destroying the Halo ring, Niemme'Niemmee must try to save the shipmaster who has been captured by the flood on the UNSC battlecruiser, the Truth and Reconciliation. He needs to receive the shipmasters neutral interface so he can hopefully use it to light the ring.

so what do you think?

[marcus903]

I'm working on an updated version for the pillar of autumn. Please watch as soon as I post it.

[marcus903]

OP Updated. Any comments on the pillar of autumn?

I see that the Grunts weren't sitting in the seats like the crewmen were. You should change the seat designation of the pilot chair/other chairs to GT-Gunner to allow the Grunts to sit in them and make it seem a tad better.

Also, why did you make it so you play as a Grunt for PoA? Shouldn't it be consistent and have you playing as an Elite?

Oh, and I definitely still think that the Covenant troops should have Covenant weapons, and human troops have human weapons.

Good idea.

I couldn't play as an elite because of the part where you have to crouch. Due to the lack of a crouching animination when the elites are unarmed, I had to play as a grunt.

The reason Covenant troops have covenant weapons is because plasma pistols are worthless against the UNSC. However, the humans DO wield human weapons. Spartans wield plasma rifles just in case I need to get one so I won't have to kill an ally.

You could use SparkEdit to remove the door, or switch the scenery to something like a crate to let you pass by it.

Sparkedit is the worst program I have used to mod my maps...

[Hotrod]

Hey, just trying to give you suggestions. What's so bad about SparkEdit though?

[marcus903]

There's no way to move the AI spawns around. Not all the biped tags are shown, and there is no way for me to spawn an item or an extra AI to help me out.

[Hotrod]

That's not what SparkEdit is designed to do. If you want to go changing the AI spawns and all that then you'll have to work with Custom Edition.

[marcus903]

okay

[Pooky]

I could swear I remember being able to make the Elite crouch... like I don't think it had an animation for it but you could still lower your hitbox and view angle.

[Donut]

elites do have a crouch animation

[Hotrod]

Yeah, I swear I remember doing it too a while back, not exactly sure what I did though. I know for sure that I was using HHT and not HMT though.

[marcus903]

They do, but it's when they dont have a weapon that they don't.

[Donut]

they should crouch with their default one handed weapons. i know ive seen them crouching and firing plasma rifles at the same time.

Yeah, but they don't with no weapon.

any comments on the new mod

[marcus903]

is someone going to comment on my mod?

[=sw=warlord]

This isn't a forum where you will get a reply every 20 minutes.
Might want to get used to that rather than spamming the forum up.

[Tnnaas]

If people find a particular interest in it, they will comment. The thing is that you are doing something so simple in comparison to things like Open Sauce, Lumoria, and whatever the boys at CMT are cooking up. Not only that, you are doing it in Halo: PC. I'm certain that almost everyone here has moved on to Halo: Custom Edition (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=410) and the Halo Editing Kit (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=411), and I think you should too.

[marcus903]

I turned myself into an elite and swapped the pelican with a covenant dropship. But I do not know the appropriate seat name so the elite can spawn in the covenant dropship, enter the covenant dropship and exit the covenant dropship. I'm trying to do the same thing for the marines and spartans. But it won't work.

What is the appropriate seat name for the elites, marines and spartans?

Seats I've tried:
G-driver
G-Driver Elite
Dropship seats
GT-Gunner
B-Driver
CD-Passenger

[Masterz1337]

CD passenger should work. GT-Gunner works on almost every unit you'll need it to, spartans, elites, grunts and i believe marines too

[marcus903]

Okay, I remember telling you that I've tried that and it didn't work.

[Masterz1337]

The vehicle is fine, it's the scripts which are causing you a problem which you can't edit in HPC.

[marcus903]

oh.

[marcus903]

I uploaded a full version of 343 Guilty Spark. Please watch it and tell me what you think!
