Halo 1 Mod Help

Post by SimonsSnipe »

Im trying to get the sniper rifle to shoot the scorpion ammo, but its not working, ive tried it over and over, (swapped the snipe proj with the scorpion proj [vehicals/scorpion/bullet])

Im using Halo Hacker Tools and Halmo Map Editor and neither worked out.

So...what am i doing wrong?

Did you try using the Save Offset button? and quitting? try that.

Open Halo Hacker Tools

Go to Wepaons/Sniper Rifle/Sniper Rifle
Under "proj prjectiles/sniper rifle/bullet"
Change to "proj projectiles/scorpion/tank bullet"


You're done!

Isn't it somewhere on the left? I'm sure I saw one on my friends computer... not positive though.

make sure you hit the swap button? is that what your forgetting? but bunny is right with the rest.. just make sure you hit swap for the effect to take place.

Yah i do hit swap, and its not working right, Does it just change the damage the bullet does or does it actually explode like a normal shell. I changed the effe to shell explosion and it added the side gun blow out when you fire it (smoke shoots out of the side of the barrel) so that was actually added. But i want it to be just like the cannon, not the look of the weapon...but the weapons bullet, want it to explode like it should and stuff when it hits.

Make sure your opening the right map, it has to be in your maps folder under Halo, not your backup map folder.

Oh how many times I've done that...

Naw, i dont have any backups or anything of the maps but i do have it installed twice if that might make a difference, does the game default use the halo/maps or does it use w/e directory the .exe file is in (i have one in Microsoft Games/Halo and one on my desktop for internet use)

I added the gravity rifle this morning and that worked, but i dont have any programs to inject half the files i find (cant do the miniguns for bloodgultch cause of there extention)

i should probably download all the files in the beginners list...but with dialup that sucks (mine only downloads average 28 kbps...)

so ur using hht? im taking a wild guess and saying v5, so did you go into the weapons section, open up the sniper's dependencies, and ur supposed to choose vehicles\scorpion\tank shell and hit swap, when u swapped it with the bullet, it just made it shoots the secondary machine gun bullet on the scorpion, not the tank shell. Hope this helps :D :D :D

I added the halo redux mod to the game and when i edit the weapons in campain they work fine, but multiplayer maps it doesnt seem to wanna work.

And has anyone ever figure out how to get the beam thing to work on any level other then a10? i tried saving the meta tag of the modified pistol and injecting it into a pistol on another lvl but it doesnt work...changed the meta to Unknown something or other or something along those lines..

did u save when u were down in hht? and u might have the particles turned offf so u cant see the explosion, or you could be running in safe mode. oh and if u want the beam in any lvl other then a10 i think u may have to rebuild a map with it :? . again hope some of this helps...
