[assorted mods and skins, etc] Ross's mods thread. UPDATES!

First up, direct downloads off DECOY's site (more organised). Click.

Scroll down here for even more stuff, further down the page... I'm constantly adding stuff, so read through the whole thread to check it all out.

Also any of you who vote fail better post pics of what mods you've done, because I highly doubt you could make anything better.


I'm releasing a lot of my mods that I've been hoarding for the last 2 and a half years... so there'll be quite a few. If this could be stickied because of that, that'd be great ;)

First and most recent. Meh, it's still got some bugs, but I can't get my hex editor working right to fix the string typos (find function is stuffed, and nobody in their right minds wants to find 2 words in a few thousand lines of code), so I may as well release what I've got so far. It says "inset" instead of insert and I left a space out somewhere, nothing major I guess.

Think this is the most recent version...

Features:

- Recoil
- Amped-up screen flashes (looks like a redout, lasts longer)
- Flashbang blinding effects on nearby explosions (working on full shellshock effects)
- Flinching when you take damage
- More realistic weapons and damage. Anything that logically would kill on a headshot, does.
- Magazines waste when reloaded (if you reload when the mag is half full, you lose the remaining rounds)
- Changed some effects, including shield shaders
- Permanent decals (some will eventually vanish, but it looks cool)
- Warthog chaingun is a beast... but overheats to prevent whoreage
- Changed text strings
- Bullet drop (only really noticeable when you fire the Hog gun into the air or blast a rocket at something)
- Full dynamic lighting
- Crash damage
- With every shot of the noob rod, aim jolts up a LOT and screen gets brighter until either it overheats or you can't see. Best anti-whore mechanism without getting rid of it altogether or making it explode on firing. ;)
- Other stuff I can't remember.

Gameplay is pretty hectic and the recoil takes some getting used to, but I like it.

Pics. Mainly showing off the awesome purplified shields and crash damage... oh, and the flares, and on a few you can see a slight paling of the screen from grenade flashes. These things will blind you completely when they go off nearby, so watch out!

I'll release the skins and such I use later, I think you'll like them too.

ENJOY!

I look forward to playing these when I get home tomorrow :)
These look awesome. I shall ask you how you made all of that realistic stuff, then copy you entirely for my next mod :D

EDIT: Do I see my shader pack in that video? I noticed that distinctive little blotch of brightness on the left side of the AR stock.

It is. I love your shaders.

Uploading fixed PPF now... Oh, by the way. I posted a tutorial on the user forums.

Marine Ops, updated.

Added some screen flashes, it needs a LOT of work. Enjoy it, though.

[edit: movie here]
A few screens from the beach landing, because I was too lazy to play any further:

Image
Looking back from the Hog drop
Image
Crashed Pelican - ammo and bodies
Image
Shellshocked! (ish.)
Image
Looking up the beach after the battle.

I filmed it too, I'll edit and upload ASAP. Also re-releasing a H2 Banshee skin I made ages ago by compiling my own skin with a few others (I believe I mixed mine with Halo 2 Rules's fakebumped Banshee skin, mad props to him).

Gonna work on that video then decide what to release next. Keep in mind 90% of this stuff is VERY much unfinished, I'm just releasing so you guys can finally see what I was working on over the last 36 months. :o

Also I'd like to know who voted fail, why, and see them do better :roll:

Thanks. A lot of work went into all of my mods, unlike some I've seen, but I'd never got round to actually finishing any. So I've decided to just polish them a little and release anyway, for everyone to finally enjoy.

Video on the way.

While you wait: Black AR skin with deeper blue LCD screen. Also has a serial number on the left top of the receiver, and shiny Halo 3 AR-style pins and screws. Best when used with Explosive American's shader pack.
