[The Swamp Fox]

the mod is finally finished...this is a single player mod, i never realized why no one ever did single player mods b4, so i did one myself. this mod incorperates many of the weapons, vehicles, and effects i imported into blood gluch, and some new ones.

I don't think this is the case, but in general , it seems noone really cares anymore about xbox Halo modding.  Don't misunderstand me here.  I know there are a handful of modders who know there stuff that are still doing great mods and workin on diff things in the meantime.  Also, it seems that the people who are still workin' on mods are in these forums.  Halomods has turned mostly PC.

I know the reason I do MP mods is because when i have a few people over, we can all play, not to mention me and friends have a Halo xbox LAN party every Tuesday where we have 4 boxes all linked up in the house playing.  

The map sounds cool, gonna check it out tonight.  Never made nor played a single player modded game yet.  Must say u make some pretty cool mods.  

I find it very difficult for most intermediate modders to get any help.  Most of the times people are disregarded as n00bs.  What really bugs me about the n00b thing is,for one everyone was a n00b at some point.  The second thing is the infamous "search",  sometimes people happen to maybe miss a point in there doings, keep trying , no work, no help, and alot of modders who aren't really "all that" just jump on the unsure but understanding frustrated modder.  I understand simple basic questions are a lil aggrevating as they are very simply awnsered.  Oh well, I got a lil off topic, just had to blow off some steam.  I just can't wait till we can map rebuild as I finally know how to duplicate new vehicles each with their own properties so I can bring in my turrets.

this mod is pretty sweet with all the weapon changes and lighting effects, but damn i walk a few feet out of the dropship, and boom! im dead, one hit kills all the time! its not that fun, its sweet to look at but, its too hard.  i think we need to change the weapon damages and some other things,  this is mod can be really sweet if we work out all the things that need to be worked on

[The Swamp Fox]

odd...on heroic i can gt thru the beginning with half of the marines still alive and not much health lost...like i said, its inclined to stealth play. snipe a grunt with a pistol, grab his railgun and kill the elites with pulse rifles and ull be just fine!

p.s. thanx everyone for the compliments...and the energy sword is in a secret location   (next to a moving blue log somewhere)

[gordita37]

ok blaz0 you are WRONG many people care about halo hacking on xbox! and im most definatly one of them! i'll try ur mod when i get home tsf cause it sounds soo cooooo

[okayama]

Man this thing sounds so cool. I want to try it so bad, but I can't seem to get it to work. I've tried everything I could think of.  I've got about 15 different ppf's on my xbox that I mess around with and I can get everyone of them to work, but not this one. I'm using HCE v0.7.  I've used the option to clear cache files, then loaded my Original Halo Silent C map. Then I patch that file and start the game. When I select the map, it just hangs on a black screen. I even ftp'ed my xbox and deleted everything in X Y Z. Then loaded the map back with my halo disk. After that I patch the map and then go to load the level. Still hangs after selecting the level. I know its somthing I'm doing , but what? Does it have to be a new game? I do know when ever I clear the cache and then load that level to put the clean cache back on the hd, it starts me in the warthog in the water.

i don't know what your talking about.... i wish this mod was harder! i can fly through it on legendary........ but swap, you did a good job in equaling it out! awsome mod!

[The Swamp Fox]

thank you pimp¥
i didnt find it too hard either...legedary wasnt much of a prob...

But yes, ur not the first to have problems with this mod...
1. try redownloading it, halomods might have went down while you were downloading.
2. yes, u have to get start a new game for that level. dont erase ur profile, just make sure you dont have saved progress on that level.

That was it. I tried a different profile that didn't have a save in the level and it worked first time. I'm not familiar with the names of the weapons but that one laying on the ground next to the cliff is awesome. The one that shots the same type of projectile as the banshee.

[The Swamp Fox]

cheater!!!
thats the energy sword/beam cannon...i thought it was cool too

[discworld]

Any chance of a PAL release? PLEASE!!?

oh and why nukes? too powerful I say. And does this longsword have collision modeling or not? *gasps*


btw - sounds REALLY nice!

[The Swamp Fox]

PAL release: no, i dont have pal.
LS coll model: no, there is no coll model for the LS

[violent_bong]
