Swap Projectiles in Halo 2 Vista
Posted: Wed Dec 26, 2007 6:03 am
OK First download H2KM00.exe from somewhere. Then quit almost everything unessary, because that may keep it from open'ing files. (MSN, ect.)
1. Open up your weapon that came with the editor, it can be found in "tags\objects\weapons", Also create a new tag for a weapon

2. A monkey could do this part, just copy everything from the pre-existing tag to the new tag.

3. Make sure you click on the drop down's to make sure you get everything copied. I must have missed something...(see later pics)




4. I just copied the zoom from the battle_rifle.weapon tag

5. This is where it gets tricky, make sure you go back and select the trigger after you create it or its going to be a dud. Also make sure you still are coping everything.
You can select any sound that you want for this. I am using a premade one.


6. Save it where the magnum.weapon tag is, Im not sure if you need to but I do that to reduce the chance of failing ingame.

7. After saving create a new item_collection and then link like so.



8. Load up sapian with whatever map you want. I have a map that I test all of my mods on, other than The Clearing.

*looks familiar don't it?*

9. Goto Equipment and place 1 marker (I made 2 custom weapons so thats why I have 2)


10. Package the level and wait for tool to either, 1. Go through and not fail, 2. Poop on you


11. Load the map in Halo 2 Vista
