HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

I've searched high and low for a mod that lets you use the Energy Sword (Is that the right name?) in the singleplayer campaign but I can't seem to find one. For clarification, when I say "lets you use the Energy Sword," I mean when one is dropped by an enemy you can pick it up and use it (as opposed to say, replacing one of your starting weapons with the Energy Sword).

Not to sound picky, but I would perfer it if it looked nice (glows), had its own icon (the icon shown when you go to exchange a weapon for it) and its own crosshair. But I'd be happy with it just working correctly.

If anyone could direct me to a mod that does this, or make one for me, I would greatly appreciate it. I tried to follow a tutorial I found to make this mod on my own, but unfortunately it didn't take long for me to get completely lost.

Also, could someone make a mod that replaces that one regular Warthog that you find upside-down in "The Silent Cartographer" (the first one, near the path leading to the two Hunters) with a RL Warthog?

I can't make one, sadly, because I'm on a Mac, but let me point out some things that'll help you later in modding,

New weapons can't have crosshairs, or any other hud elements, because there's no data for them. There probably COULD be some, but it would involve a lot of dependency swapping, and bitmap creation. Sorry to break it to ya.

Are you certain about the crosshairs? I remember seeing a video of someone's MP map mod where they had an Energy Sword with a crosshair that looked like a crescent...

Anyway, thanks for the info, I'll keep that in mind.

those multiplayer levels were in CE, you can add weapons and things into those maps.

Ah, I see. Thank you for clearing that up.

I had an Energy Sword near awesome, in my Elite Battles mod.
You could hit with the sword, it had transparent blue-ness, replaces the Rocket Launcher.

Is it possible to have the Energy Sword in SP without replacing a weapon? If not then nevermind... But what about the Warthog thing? Can anyone do that? Is it even possible?

Both of those require you to rebuild an SP map. It's possible, but I don't remember how.

You could mod the warthog to shoot rockets and knock down the ROF and stuff.

i for got wht program was good for that but i hav it on my comp and if it was working i could do that for u i now how its pretty easy well my comp is not going to hav it on any more so i cant help but i wish i could remember the name of the program!
