Description:
Several of the vehicles now have first person perspective modes re-enabled!
The following vehicle seats have 1st person view now:
Warthog: All (Non-Boarding) Seats
Spectre: Gunner Only
Ghost: Driver Seat
Covie Turret: Turret Seat
Scorpion: All Passenger Seats
What was that? Scorpion passenger seats? Yes, that's right - I also enabled
the passenger seats on the scorpion - if there is a driver in a scorpion,
you can get in any of the 4 passenger seats.
========================================
How was this done?
Glad you asked - (nearly) every model in the game has numerous markers on it.
Markers are simple a 0 dimensional point in a 3d area around (or inside) the
model.
There is a marker for every point needed - a marker to show where your
player grabs onto a gun, where the bullets come out of a gun, where the
turret is on a warthog, where you get into a warthog, etc.
I found there are often also markers for the FPP view on many of the vehicle
models, created by Bungie, even though in Halo 2 retail they are never used.
Due to this fact, they were also rather lazy in enabling them. The passenger
seat of the warthog was already set up to use it's corresponding FPP marker.
But the driver seat wasn't, and the banshee is set up referencing a
non-existent marker.
So all I did was put in the names of the correspoing SIDs in the seats
reflexive in the .vehi files. Compare my modded map and an original map for
more info.
========================================
And as another added bonus, you get 2 heretic banshees! (If you have something
against a good heresy, go into the Settings menu, and edit your gametype on the
vehicles page, and change Banshee from "Map Default" to "On" and banshees will
become normal banshees.)
Sure, nothing to amazing - not looking to win a MOTM award here, this is just more like a proof-of-concept and a cool mod for driving around a warthog.
Woah this is really cool. I've waited for this for along time. The only thing is the spectre turret FFP looks bad.
Great job, now if only we had a Main Menu option or Start Menu option to enable this.

Only change with it is that the view to be 1pp to be default - for some reason Bungie already enabled that camera.

Bungie's fault - I just enabled what they had set up - I thought it was pretty cool how it was - now the chaingun turret - that's something they screwed up

That'd be cool - but doing that type of thing would be beyond about anyone here (unless someone overnight gets a bug-free proper chunk cloner, animation creator, and a load of other things figured out that I haven't looked into). Just blame Bungie for the no-hands.

naw, i don't think so... if u use yelo u can just move the camera to inside the chief's head. and wallah its all there. couldn't u change the camera cords. for the 3rd person view to in his head.?
