Heres what I want.
In SP you are a Gold Covenant Elite and the Humans are now Covenant Soldiers.
The Covenant are now the various Humans aboard the PoA and the Marines. Your starting weapons are a Plasma Rifle and a Fuel Rod Gun. You get Plasma Gernades instead of frag gernades. Your jump is doubled. For your melee you whip out a plasma sword and hack away. Instead of the ghosts and Wraiths enemies drive warthogs and scorpions. You would have the Covenant Wraiths,ghosts and banshees. Could Capt. Keyes be replaced by A Prophet? I hope so. Also the PoA's textures would be replaced with the TaR and vice versa. Also could you make Covenant dropships be replaced with Pelicans and vice versa? Also could all weapons have a zoom function? I want that!

Could this be done?
Could you list what and what not?
And if you did it how would I put it in?
Thanks if this could happen.

This sounds very interesting. I've been having ideas with trying to make the PoA the TaR also.
As for making the Capt. a prophet, you'd need VERY good modeling skills, because you have to keep the same amount of vertices and indeces for a model in Halo.


And at least you're a newbie who can type in complete sentences. :wink:

Thank you, thank you very much.
(Yeah newbies!!!1one1!!!) :wink: Just joking.

I ran it by the people over at Gaming Forums and they said come to you guys.

Modeling a prophet would be difficult at best, but modeling it so that it has the same number of vertices and indices as cpt. Keys would be impossible. You can't whip out an energy sword and melee with it in place of your melee attack, but you could model an energy sword, and use it in place of a weapon. Everything else you're talking about, can be and has been done. It's not that hard.

Just to tell you Billy9, you're asking quite a lot :o .

List of CAN does:
1. You are gold elite, humans are covy soldiers
2. Covenant are humans and marines.
3. Your starting weapon is a plasma rifle.
4. Double jump.
5. THROWN plasma grenades can be swapped for frag grenades, although I don't think you can make it so that if you pick up a frag, you pick up a plasma instead.
6. Enemies can drive scorpions.
7. PoA's textures can be replaced with TaR.
8. Covenant dropships can be replaced with Pelicans.
9. All weapons can have zoom function.
10. You could make the plasma sword count as a third weapon. (Yes it's possible :wink: )

List of things CANNOT be done:
1. Your other starting weapon is a Fuel Rod Gun.
2. Covenant may get in the driver seat of a warthog, although they won't drive it.
3. Captain Keyes ----->Prophet, don't think that's possible.

Also, Billy9, what do you mean by you could have the Covenant Wraiths, ghosts, banshees? Do you mean you can drive them? Ghosts and banshees are already driveable. Driveable wraiths are easy to make.

The AI can be in the driver's seat of a hog, but they can only drive it in, like, straight lines, if at all.

The Keyes = Prophet thing would be extremely hard if not impossible.

Everything else can be done.

Ok, I mean like wraith instead of scorpion, banshee out there, ghost instead of warthog. Couldnt you just take the ais for the drivers of the wraiths ghosts and banshees and use those?

Also, either the fuel rod gun or plasma sword. I dont know what the plasma sword should be replaced by though.

Plasma sword should replace plasma rifle. I have with me a plasma sword model made from a plasma rifle model. It's made by somebody else though.

I dont know id narrow it down to the plasma pistol or needler.

on your list of cannots, K!n& G30rgE, It seems to me that FRG would be quite possible. It would just be a matter of PMIing.
And, Billy, this might be easier for everyone, even you, if you did (most of) these things yourself. I can give you a tut if you want.

And I wanted you to start off with plasma gernades instead of human ones.
