HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

This morning I had the idea to re-include the AR in the mod, and update it for the h2 mod. Then I thought, well, why should they still be manufacturing the Assault Rifle with weapons like the SMG and the BR, so I decided to make the AR look aged. Hopefully Zex or lightning knows how to make the ammo counter flicker, so it will look like on of the light bulbs inside is broken.

Image is over 800x600, please follow the rules (i love my job) - Vinx

Nothing in this pic involves ripped halo 2 content, but the full mod it'self has ripped models, bitmaps, and sounds.

nice, yeah the flickering ammo counter would be awsome!

More like "downgrade".

If it's worn out, then it shouldn't function as well, etc...

yeah mb when you fire the ar it will shake just like how the plasma rifle is when its going to run out of energy.

Yeah, Like the compass should go crazy every once in a while.

That map looks a lot like backwash.

I think it is the swamp from 343 guilty spark.

its easy, when you re-skin each number, just make it dimmer than the number before it, (probably better done at random) so as the ammo goes down, certain numbers in the counter will appear dimmer and not working propperly, heck you could even distort the brighter or the dimmer images to increase the aged affect.... as for the display background..... it has no animation that I know of and I'm pretty sure it doesn't change at all so I don't think thats possible... (only reason I come to that conclusion is because I have studied the DDS files of the AR extensively...)

Edit:

Awsome Idea, I loved the aged look! if you want it to look even older, you could change the display color back to the way it was (on the numbers any way) and when it fades have it go to a more greenish color...) just some suggestions, again great job ^_^

Pretty neat ideas, especialy with makin it seem liek a number is missing by removing it formteh bitmap tag. Right now, we are alos thinking of adding a "jam" feature, where after using 6 magazines, the gun will have a chance of jamming, and being useless.

But if you really want some what of an upgrade... why dont you give it shredder bullets? Like bullets that penetrate surfaces, increased strength... etc. Just like in the books. That's pretty simple... but... effective ingame?

Or how about it shoots burst at a random r.o.f! So it would like...stutter after shooting a bit? If ce can do that (I dont f*** know) then, t3h_c00l

Looks cool!
