And... we are back

@III AVIATOR III I haven't figured out a way to affect it currently. I'm not sure if it's hardcoded into the game and unmodifiable. Still would have to check with the Halo mod community on discord

And... we are back

Yo ferg! I was working on another one of my Halo 2 AI wars and figured you might know the answer to this one because I am confused on this. Is there any way to change the active camo duration for the Arbiter's cloak? I am having players play as a special ops elite, and would love to extend the camo duration to like 45-60 secs instead of the Arbiter's default 5-10.

I just tested the mod. Still the same issues.

This should now be update, let me know if there is still an issue

Best guess is I probably gave them the grav hammer on melee. That or if I recall Elite and Brute melees are pretty lethal on harder difficulties and I believe OHKs. Haven't had time to check.

The same is true on Breakout Bot Battle.

Why is a brute melee instakill to fully shielded elites? Both elite player and elite NPCs have this bug.

Just pushed out an update that does some major improvements to the mod. Hope you guys like the fixes. I put them in the "Change Notes". Enjoy

Also make sure to resub to mod in case you dont see the changes downloaded

Heads up, thanks to the help of the community I was able to fix the gravity hammer effect so now all brutes, including yourself can now use the gravity hammer with the cool explosive effect meaning that now you have to be more afraid of brutes with hammers. That and some of the elite and brute ai standing still at spawn have been addressed too. I'll push out and update soon when I later this week when i can finish compiling the maps and re-upload so stay tuned.

@yoda gaming, in campaign. After you are subscribed, started mcc with anti cheat off then go to Halo 2 campaign. There will be "built-in" campaign that's default and below are all your modded Halo 2 campaign mods

where do i find this in modded halo 2?

You're welcome

@xferginator [your second text from bottom] thank you for the response

Thank you. Wanted these series of "Abominiation" "Blasphemy" soon "Heresy" to have fun almost prophet/gravemind description to add a little extra to the mod 😀

I just want to say i really like the description you wrote, very nice, and flavorful!

Aww ya idk why those ones give me so many issues. Imma probably gonna do another update then where I force them to move when they spawn to give them a little kick to help them get going

I was playing as a brute when you spawn in they are right behind you. also some on the right and the left at brute spawn

Is this when playing as an elite or as a brute?

All the brutes or a particular location?

The brutes stay at spawn they dont move at all

I fixed the brute and melee animations as the player, you will probably need to unsub and resub back and restart the game to redownload the changes

@Zata 'Vademee got help from community, found out what the issue was, gonna try to recompile the maps and fix the melee animations for good. It requires a special trick and the animations will look a little bit off but it not really eye sore looking so its manageable but it so far is fixed for the elite, gonna do the brute next.

@anautisticsquid you have to duplicate all the weapons, rename it and put in another folder to make it easier to find, and go into guerilla and just flag "use 3rd person camera" field and save. Then when you compile the scenario you will now have 3rd person view like a turret on a warthog

how u make it third person view?

Okay so I gave anniversary graphics a go and this is what happened. Some textures are just exclusively multiplayer so singleplayer has nothing to references but this actually gives me an idea for 2 of my mods, one I already made and one I plan on doing next where they are in the campaign so that leaves a lot to desire if this does work ;)

However, GK got back to me and did say this https://twitter.com/Generalkidd/status/1706086884428956103

@LAGGING.exe I tested and doesn't work. I forgot I actually tried this before with another map and it appears the trick Generalkidd used only works with default multiplayer maps. Once you build the map in sapien, either for an intentional reason from 343 to avoid conflict with Sapien or because it just lacks the feature when compiling a map from scenario to map file but it doesn't come with the ability switch graphics. When I press the button, nothing happens sadly.If there was a way I bet you that Halo 2 Anniversary textures would be able to fill every part of the map for this mod since almost all the textures used in gemini probably are from Halo 2's Gravemind level

ok

It's being looked into

@Zata ya animations unfortunately are a known issue with the melee for Brutes and Elites, including melee weapons.

Modded steam maps won't be in h2_maps_win64_dx11. Those are the default maps. They will be located under which drive you have Steam installed SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\

From therr it will have all the modded maps you are subbed to.

I was unfortunately unable to try it yesterday but I'll see about trying today

energy sword swing for the elite does not show pls fix it

did it work for you

I m on h2_maps_win64_dx11

I ll try that out where can I find your file I cant seem to find it

So in theory you could take my map file, replace it with an existing campaign map, probably gravemind would be best since it's the same assets, and try running it. I might try for ahits and giggles to see if it works later.

@LAGGING.exe trust me, if I could I would.

Sadly this isn't possible due to the campaign anniversary engine proprietary is owned by Saber Interactive which prevents my Halo 2 mods from running Anniversary graphics.

It's something 343 tried working on getting access... then the Russia/Ukraine conflict happened and... well... we know where Saver is located now makes that pretty much impossible. But 343 really did want to get it added.

I know generalkidd used a modded glitch to use Anniversary campaign graphics on h2c multiplayer maps. Though it requires manual work to get it to happen. Not sure if there are other hurdles I'm not thinking of to get it to play the h2a sp graphics.

@Giantballs and @Lagging.exe Thank you for the compliment

Nice one is it possible if you can add Anniversary edition

Current known issues are spawns need improvements, characters move a bit clunky because they are using the default character bipeds from Halo 2 and that not all animations work even if the weapons and melee do.

I plan to update them later
