go to bitmaps tab, and search for ui/hud/compbined reticles
or something similar... they are all stored within that bitmap :wink:

on question number 26, there's no bitmap from the AR, the only way to do this would be to duplicate the pistol scope bitmap and swap with new duplicated bitmap with the AR's

I think ONLY the makers of Halo could help me with some questions. So if ur friend is a guy working there ask him to come look (not the cleaner) 8) :!: also people who think their smart enough may try :P or die trying :shock:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Hey master modders plz help me out.
Im making a mod for the Silent Cathographer and i made some things already. these are the things need 2 be done:
--------------------------------------------------------------
1. My marines who have been changed into spartens (by changing at animation trigger or biped forgot which of 2) wont sitt in the pelican. Ok some do butt there are still like 5 spartans ALREADY on the beach when i arrive + 1 spartan and me in pelican nr1 and 5 spartans in pelican nr2.
i want ALL spartans to be in the pelican so it looks like weve just arrived.

2.I wanna have more units in my Warthog how can i add more numbers at vehicle/warthog. (existing numbers 0(driver/me) ,1(passenger),2(gunner)

3.The Spartans dont have weapons when with me in the pelican, butt when they come out they suddenly do (PS: This question is less important)

4.I changed all beach covenant units into jackals and they fire verry far (20 meter if id be in the game). how can i make my spartans look far too so they dont have to stand 5 meters to my enemy.

5.where can i change the gameglobals that control the number of lives a spartan has and the shield. I wanna make myself and the spartans stronger withouth changing the enemys ipt! (damage)

Xtra question for this modd: how can i have my spartans and myself weir a jackal shield and a weapon at the same time...i know it has something to do with changing the globals with jackal and cyborg...butt not exactly what or where...

-------------------------------
And that was just part 1 of what i wanna make, here comes part 2! (Marines are normal in this version)
-------------------------------
6. How can i make the covenant beach units change into ENEMY marines while i still have ALLIED marines in the pelican. So lets say Marines VS Marines.

7. Can i make Marines have melee attack? kinda stupid that they dont while makers of Halo putt it in the game :?

8. In a50 the marines stay at the covenant ships control room how can i make them follow me?

9. Any one knows grunt wars? or grunts wars II where grunts run around killing eachother...any one knows Marine wars or something? :S red armored marines and blue.....or maybe Spartan Wars where computer controlled spartens attack eachother...cuz its kinda lonely playing halo without internet :(

10. I downloaded AI controlled maps where marines and elites, grunts and hunters etc attack eachother butt i cant open them with Hmt 3.5 any one knows better programm?

--------------------------------------------------
uhm i think thats about it...for now :twisted:
On question #4 go into actor tab in hmt and change the max vision distance to a suitable number then go into actor variant and change the max firing distance #, to a higher one. There lots of stuff you can do for what I think your thinking.

sometimes the long way is the way it must be done. way back when we converted Halo CE maps via Hex Editor, that took atleast 10 hours.

I was not name calling.

i need some kind of tutorial or tutorial link that works ive been trying to find out how for a very long time

ps i have a mac so dont tell me how to do it on a pc
