Hey ya'll, Scott here. I've been working on this mod for a while and now I have it in a state that I'm happy to release it in. I present to you a Brute Campaign mod for the mission The Great Journey. Video + Screenshots https://youtu.be/HeM5Y9-xe-0 https://imgur.com/a/ekWGN4H Download Links: Brute Campaign Mod: https://bit.ly/2xVykUo Assembly (to apply the patch): https://bit.ly/2JUv1lP BluTrainer (third-person tool): https://bit.ly/2M4ctlN Player changes: - Play as a Brute Captain - Increased player grenade toss velocity - Increased player jump height - Gave all Brutes recharging health (slow) - Working third-person melee animations Encounters: Attempted to incorporate as many of the unused spawns as possible in this mod, there is quite a few on the final level. - Extra friendly spawns at the beginning of the mission - Teammate spawn after the bridge section ALL encounters in the level have been changed, not all are just simple Brute to Elite conversions. - Inclusion of multiple Hunter encounters - Enemy encounters turned friendly encounters - Changed what spawns in weapons crates (as plasma pistol and needler spawns are useless for the player) Special Thanks To: xScruffyDaSasquatchx - for playtesting the mod, TobyMac01 - for suggestions.

Using Assembly, click on "create, apply, or poke patch", select the "apply patch" tab. "Patch to apply" is the file you downloaded, "Unmodified map" is the forerunnership.map located in your Halo 2 maps directory, "Output map" is where you want the patched map to be placed.

Is there anyway to make AI completely ignore the player with the use of assembly?

Been working on a UNSC mod conversion for Sacred Icon (Quarantine Zone will follow). The mod should be released soon, just playing around with couple more enemy encounters. Here's a list of changes: player is a Marine, enemy and ally encounter changes, marine health recharge faction increased from 25% to 80%, removed first person hands, but kept weapons, increased marine player jump height and grenade toss velocity. https://imgur.com/a/1IKTPwM

I've figured out a way, its a bit messy atm - gonna clean it up a bit, poked that much crap.

It appears only explosion/splash damage hurts the rider. I'll see if anything in hlmt works.

I've been messing around with the gravity throne . vehi tags, trying to find a way to make it so the driver can take damage from bullets - bullets just phase through the driver. I have no idea where or what I should be looking for, but I think it may be possible as seen in this clip (however this is in H2X and not H2V)

Depends if the marines are in the .map file. If so, an easy way to do this is: go to .scnr, search 'character palette', locate floodcombat_marine and swap it with marine and hit save. This will change all Flood Marines into Marines.

I'm using Eschaton 8.1 to look at the tags, it seems to freeze when opening the scnr, should I use a different tool or am I doing something wrong?

Yeah Combat Evolved, I'll give it a look, thanks.

Is there a way to change the AI's team association? Ie - Make Grunts on the human/player team. I've tried looking around and can't find anything, I've tried changing the value in the biped section from default to player and it makes no difference.

The method linked does work. "Now to explain how to enable animations for non-player characters, this example assumes you have changed your player representation in matg to elite. In Assembly search "jmad", open up the drop down and find "characters\elite\elite" Scroll down to the "modes" tab (for this example we will be enabling the melee animation for the elite player) In the "modes" drop down tab next to the heading, scroll through until you find combat, it will say that under the "modes" tab, next to "label" In the "weapon class" drop down, select what weapon classes you want to apply melee animations to (you will have to do the next step for all weapon classes as the values are different. -- In this example we'll give the player pistol melee animations-- Scroll through the drop down box until you find "pistol" In the "weapon type" drop down box, use the drop down tab to select "any". Open up the "actions" and "overlays" drop down boxes. In the "actions" drop down box, scroll through the tabs until you find "melee". In the "overlays" drop down, replace "wave" with "melee" and change the animation index value of the overlays box to match the animation index value of the actions box. Now your "overlays" tab should read -- Label "melee" -- Graph index "-1" -- Animation index "145" (this is the value for 03b_oldmombasa.map) Hit save or poke (if the mission is open in game) to apply your changes."

I've attempted modding Anniversary Campaign maps, I'm able to get the modding tools HMT3.5 and HHT to read the map and make changes to offset values and save. However when attempting to run the maps, the Xbox just restarts when loading into the mission. I've tried just changing offsets for bipeds - Crewman to Grunt, as well as actor variants and dependencies in the scenario tag, but nothing seems to work. Even though some of these things work on the PC version. Does anyone know why? I'm using a dev.xex, should I be using something else?
