HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Due to the Good Feedback I expanded ALOT.

Get Gulch Wars http://www.student.smsu.edu/j/jam632s/Gulchwar.rar








I recieved good feed back from the last version of this mod, so I decided to expand And I have expanded A LOT. Most importantly I still kept the same fun gameplay. I tryed to keep it simple, while adding a lot. I'ts a lot of fun and try it with friends online.

#### FEATURES ####

- Completley re-textured Bloodgulch (Snow at Dusk)
- Retextured all of the vehicles
- Changed many of the projectiles
- Added Homing Rockets
- Lessoned Damage of rockets (No Thanks to Sirluke)
-It takes 3 to 4 rockets to kill.
-Added Turrets in place of the ghosts
-Added 4 more banshees in place of Scorpion

-Two platforms at opposite side of the maps with stationary turrets to counter attackbanshees.
-YOU KNOW LONGER DIE WHEN LEAVING PLATFORM

Note * * Most weapons use homing rocckets but the rockets cause less damage so it evens out.
Any input is GREATLY appreciated Thanks.

Wow, dude I love your mods, I just learned how to just switch some offsets with values and thats all, do you need to learn meta to add those cliffs ad so on....email me i will play with you on your server tonight
[email protected] thanks

I didn't use a great deal of meta, but I did use a little bit. I used meta to increas the 8x zoom on the sniper rifel to 16x, and to speed up the Banshees. The only meta I actually had to figure out myself (without looking on boards) Was changing the Damage of the rockets. I wanted to use rockets but didn't want a single shot to kill you, so I used meta in that case also. To get the platforms I just changed the offsets of the shrubs etc etc to Fallen Logs, and then moved them in SparkEdit. The Texturs were the biggest pain, espicailly the the ground texture. Note* All textures are not DXT1, some are DXT3 and ARGB. I had to figure that out, and mess with different formats. Keep the ideas coming.
Peace out, I'm Peacing, Peace.



P.S. I'll be playing a little bit tonigh. ADD ME TO AIM: Drumenjohn

since i havent done too much with textures yet, how did u get the textures to blend, or is there another texture that looks like the other two blending, or is that part of the map?

Ok. There is 3 textures you need to edit when editing the ground. 1. Blood Gulch ground 2. Blood Gulch Detail Grass 3. Blood Gulch detail sand. Note that detail sand and detail grass are DXT1 Format, and the ground must be saved as DXT3 format. You cannot change were th grass ends, and were the sand(path) begins. Or you probably can I just dont know how. So to blend the texture I just did a really thorough job editing the Blood Gulch Ground texture and made sure it looked good to get the color variation. So the ground texture is pretty dull, but the grass, and sand textures sit on top of that and make the texture look good. I just turned the sand and grass textures white.

ok, i was just curious if there was a seperate texture that needed to be edited to show where the grass ends.. aparently not, its made into the map using a paintbrush tool just like in unreal games.. very neat

Im going to be hosting a game all night tonight. . . I have an extremely fast line (University) Please Everyone come play!! It will most likely be pretty late, and I should start it around 11:00 Central Time. PLEASE COME WITH MOD INSTALLED FOR FUN. . ..
