HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Well this is general discussion and still modding related.

Soo has anyone tried testing stuff out or just playing the game and have some really odd side effect because of modding?

Well heres mine: I was playing on MEtroplis with invincibility and third person trainer on.

I went up to the scarab gun and decided to do some free falling and jump out my pelican up there.

So I do so, Then while I was playing with First person view. When I should have died from falling the game automaticaly zoomed by out to third person with a really werid angle. I hot a bulding's roof me, my marines, and the pelican all bounced to different places of the level.

When I landed on the ground The view was in thrid person and almost completely upside down. so that the street was on top of the screen.

I went to go look at my invincible marines.
he said "Boy this is gettin freaky"

mine would have to be when i was messing with the the airlifts in headlong and i messed them up so the tank would fly past my face,along with everything else in radius of the suction, and get stuck to the wall due to the suction, one time i was already on the wall and it splattered me.

Adding a machine pallette and machine placement chunk to the scenario tag on Ascension and finding out that it somehow moved the teleporter origin point to the antenna array location...still haven't figured out how that worked.

mine was when i was on xlink and my hog had AI, but then it was just a glitch cuz someone was in it on my screen once i got up to it and he was just walkiing round the level, i could supect a dummy glitch but he was a spartan, we did record it though!

Next:

i did a flying mod and i did it in sys link and on the other xbox it looked like i was doing flips!

mine was when i somehow made every weapon on the map semi automatic...and my rocket shoots half of a wraith that freezes my game for a few minutes...and when it hits a bunch of warthog bumpers are laying on the ground

mine was when i was working on a mod for turf, i tossed the grenade and it exploded in midair.

.5 seconds later a HUGE sun materialized from the point where the grenade exploded and stayed burning for like 15 seconds and slowly shrunk to nothing.

it didnt do anything, but it looked so damn cool. hmmm, to bad i dont have that vid anymore.

Mine was when I was playing with Xbox7887's Dev trainer on cairo station. The marine that says' "Hey! The Malta's already driven off it's boarders!" permutation was messed up so it spawned at Johnson. It was really funny. Also a female marine spawned at the beginning of the level.

The female marine at the start of Cario is normal.

About the permutations.. mine dont seem to have an effect on the game at all. I changed Johnsons (and the combat version of him too) to have an ODST body... but absolutely nothing changed abour him. I dont understand why.

Really? I never saw it before. Ah oh well whatever.

I was on containment and my hog blew up. I didnt die so i was tryn to drive a hog around with only right side wheels spinning in circles.

Just yester dayI was using H2X to spaw a warthog with the ODSTs in it.

IT only had three wheels on it and some other damage. Although it had a wheel missing it operated like normal.

Let's see:

1.) I slightly modded the Rocket Launcher so that it would pelt Warthog tires at people, and so that the impact of the tires would push the player back a few feet...somewhere in that process I must've done something horribly wrong, for everytime I test-fired the thing, the player would just.....dissappear....just like that. A guess would be that I messed with the force a little too much (whoops....).

2.) I decided to try out this rocket mod I saw on some forum (I forget which one), and I referred to the mod as "The Nuke". It was REALLY just a Rocket Launcher limited to only one shot, but that one shot proved fatal (and pretty funny) to those who didn't have the proper cover. The single rocket, when fired, was designed to travel INCREDIBLY slow (my brother, my cousin, and I were joyfully circling around it). We watched it for about ten seconds and then BAM! We were not killed (invincibility trainer, just for testing purposes), but we were thrown to the highest possible point of the map (which was Coagulation). That was another case of messing with the force too much.
