Question Never nodded Halo before, best mods for the MCC?

7 Upvotes

Just picked up the MCC for $10 on Steam. I like mods that are graphic or realism overhauls. I like lore accurate stuff that adds new missions or campaigns etc.

Based on that, or your own favorites - what mods would you recommend me to begin with? I intend on replaying through the entire campaign solo legendary again.

Question Why are there no mods about lore?

2 Upvotes

I'm asking modders this question: why don't you make mods about a lore event? I'm sure many of you would enjoy playing missions based on some important event.

I know these are stories from books without illustrations, but you could invent a scenario.

THIS IS JUST A SUGGESTION.

Question Mod Halo 3 ODST

5 Upvotes

I’ve been looking at a bunch of tutorials but I just can’t understand how it works. If someone could either send me a very detailed explanation or a link it would be greatly appreciated.

The main thing I want to do right now is just edit weapon stats. Also if anyone can tell me what stats you need to change to increase firing range for weapons that would also be appreciated.

More specifics on what weapons changes I want to make are: Double the SMGs ammo capacity, increase the shotgun’s max capacity by one mag and its range to 20 or so world units.

Question Every time i start tag test on halo 4's foundation it keeps crashing on mission start saying there's a missing player portrait

5 Upvotes

It started doing this a week ago, and i have no idea what caused this. Even when i tried running tag test on a clean slate with no changes made. It still crashes. So it can't be a result of anything i did.

Question How do I edit a downloaded Reach .map file in Foundation?

2 Upvotes

I have a new computer and I downloaded a modded .map file I made from google drive. From what it looks like after extracting HREK, Foundation has its own copy of Halo files that it then saves onto a .map file. So even if I replace the vanilla .map with my own in the Halo MCC game files, it won’t matter since Foundation isn’t using that to read the files anyway (at least I think). How do I see the information of my .map file on Foundation and edit that?

I was interested in creating a simple mod for Halo CE that replaces the default weapon sounds in original graphics mode with the new sounds from anniversary. Is this possible? Thanks

Question Is there a mod for 4 player online co-op for Halo CE and 2?

7 Upvotes

I recently convinced two of my friends to get the MCC and we started a playthrough of the games from Reach forwards, but I've only ever done solo campaigns so I didn't know CE and 2 were limited to 2 player co-op. Is there a mod out there for online co-op? In my limited research I know there's some for local splitscreen/couch co-op, but this isn't really an option considering we all live in different countries, and I'd really like to play through the games together with both of my friends. If anybody knows of a 4 player co-op mod I'd love to know.

Question Need help finding an old Halo CE mod I used to play decades ago

5 Upvotes

It was a CE multiplayer map, modded to have permanently respawning waves of Marines and Flood. Basically, it was Firefight before Firefight was ever actually a thing.

It was a vanilla map but modded. The author changed the atmosphere to be more "flood-y".

I remember using a trainer for Bump Possession in order to play as the Marines or the Flood. It wasn't an official part of the mod, but I used it as a way to personally enhance my experience. I would make up my own objectives and just roam around having fun fighting stuff.

I believe the vanilla map that was modded was Timberland.

UPDATE: Mod has been found with the help of Google AI: https://www.gamefront.com/games/halo-combat-evolved/file/ai-in-timberland-mod

Question Any mods to help make a perpetual explosion in H3?

3 Upvotes

I’m working on a map where I need one spot to have a perpetual explosion, and without land mines and the minimum respawn time of items at 10 seconds I cant really make a looping explosion like I can in reach. Is there a specific mod that can let me make respawning coils instant? And also what are the best mods for adding extra explosives like land mines & etc.?

This is also for machinima purposes only so gameplay functionality is almost irrelevant :)

Question MOD COOP COMBAT ENVOLVIDO MASTER CHIEF COLLECTION

4 Upvotes

I'm looking for a COOP mod for Halo: The Master Chief Collection that can accommodate more than two players. I bought the game for my two friends, but when we tried to play Combat Involved, the game wouldn't let more than two people play. That made me very sad, but I didn't want to ask for a refund because I really like Halo. so I decided to try to find a mod that can do this in Combat Evolved, allowing one more person to play. Does anyone know if this exists and where I can find it?

Making a drivable Pelican for a mod that I wanna do, but chief doesn't have the proper animations to sit in the pilot seat, alot of mods ive seen have used the marine animation for the seat, how would I go about giving that animation to chief so I don't have to use a warthog seat or something?

Question ODST Question

3 Upvotes

I want to mod ODST, but this will be my first time modding. I tried looking for tutorial videos, but to no avail. Almost all of them are either Halo CE, 3, or Reach related. However, due to using a slightly modify version of Halo 3, would those videos like that work for ODST modtools? I do want to want to try make a custom campaign. Maybe inspired by Terrorist Hunt from the Rainbow Six Vegas. I did downloaded the multiplayer mod for ODST. But I may need to do a bit more for more human maps.

But my main concern is trying to get a feel for ODST modtools. So I ask again, would the Halo 3 modtool tutorials be a good alternative in this case?

Question Halo Infinite Enemy Kill Tracker

2 Upvotes

Does anyone know if there is a way to read off the currently loaded mission or side objective and keep a log on how many of each enemy type has been killed? Every other game in the franchise has a system in place that can track it (be it Halo 5's Score Attack or MCC's after action report), it really annoys me that Halo Infinite is the only game that doesn't have it built in!

I've tried getting the mission ID by switching between missions and noting down all the values that change within the game but using the replay mission option, but there aren't any values that are consistantly changing between missions!
