I'll be more specific. You don't need to do this if it's too hard.

1.One way is copying the meta. After you copy the tank shell meta, you paste it in the pistol's number. In HMT, load your map, click PROJECTILE and go to TANK SHELL and copy the META. Then go to pistol bullet and paste it over the META for the pistol. Then click SAVE and enjoy.

Meta:
Tank Shell: B0A6CC

Pistol Bullet: AA5864

2.Otherwise, go to pistol bullet and click swap. Then click on TANK SHELL and click SAVE.

If you got confused, sorry, but you have to click save after you swap the meta. You DO NOT need to do both ways, just do one that's easy for you. ^_^

Thanks, I was trying to do it in the WEAPONS part. Do you do it there? Where is the number?

OK, the META, or the number is in the part where it says META (Button) Swap (Button) (META). Otherwise, it's all a code, not a number.

If you are in the section WEAPONS, you can mod things to shoot faster, add zoom, or do any of that stuff. Notice: You shouldn't mod the rocket launcher to act like a machine gun. It will slow the game down. You can also make a sniper rifle zoom different and get an unusual 50x zoom if you wanted.

How do you make the zoom work? I modded nothing but the zoom it looked like this: Minimum zoom: I put 2. Maximum zoom: I put 8. Why didn't it work? How do you know if you don't have the framework? I think that might be the problem.

It wouldn't start if you didn't have the frame work. (I voted to add) Try HHT it works better than HMT for META swaps because it dosn't overwrite the META, just allows you to use others. Spark Edit is another good utility, it allows you to move objects, weapons,and vehicles along with other things. Here are some utilities and here are some tutorials, for modding. The HMT is also good for batch extracting/ rebuilding maps.

Thanks for the new info knj555. Grim Mouser, do the following:

1. Open HMT.

2. Go to weapon

3. Click on the weapon you want to mod

4. Go to number of zooms and put in 2

5. Put in the lowest zoom and the highest zoom.

6. Click close map.

7. Run Halo

8. Go make a lan game

9. Try the weapon and see if it works.

10. If not, leave Halo and repeat.

This should solve your problems.

Those of you who are members of levels4you.com, can you send me this mod in email?

It's right here

Thanks, that's useful. knj555, thanks for the stuff and information. Yin Yang, does it have to be lan? And do you mod projectiles in WEAPONS? Lastly, does the lowest zoom have to be 0?

Yes, to test it. Why play an internet game when you accidently did something wrong? So then you have to abandon every one and tell them to come back, make changes, and there you go.

No, Grim Mouser, the sniper's lowest zoom is 2. You know you can have up to two zooms, so you start with a low number, (I guess 1-100) and a higher zoom.(101-200) Note that the numbers I suggested are custom numbers. No weapon has a 20x zoom.

I chose lan to TEST out the map. That's what you should do, just incase something's wrong.

knj555, can you email me with info of how to use HHT?

HHHT: Applying PPFs

1. Open HHHT

2. Go to your mod directory

3. Make a backup directory

4. Click show all mods

5. Apply the ppf to the map it goes with. EX: Blood Gulch.map = Blood Gulch.ppf

6. Repeat for more ppfs if you have any more.

7. Close and play Halo

Note: You cannot put two ppfs together. For example, the Halo 2 HUD and the Halo 2 mod bitmaps together. The bitmaps will become mixed together and you will not like the look of it.

Any more tutorials, or anyone found my polls?

What do you mean you have to go look through? No map files on the map folder? Are you able to play any of Halo's levels? You might need the framework if you don't have it. Go here and download this.

After you download it, run it and install. Once it's installed, run HMT.

how do you make infinite gernades with the HMT?

I'm not sure yet, I'm still figuring that out. I know that you can use the dev trainer to do that, but you're going to have to find out for yourself. If you want to email me, it's right here at
[email] peeyello2003@msn.com [/email]


Edit: I think you can go to the weapons part and look for the frag part. If you find that, go to projectile and click on the arrow and click on 0. Then click ammo per shot and put in 0. Then, for number of projectiles fired, put in a high number (only if you want to make it powerful ...) and that's how you get a powerful and infinite (I think.) If this information proved hard to understand ... I'll help that out to make it easy. Enjoy!!!!!

??? HMT is for multiplayer maps I think. I might be wrong, but if it is, just turn on infinite grenades.

HMT is for Halo MP and SP maps. I think he meant for SP for infinite grenades. I can't help now I lost my Halo PC disk and started my computer over because of computer issues.

Oh no! Well, if you are interested in modding, you might as well use the devtrainer instead of HMT for that. By the way, how's my new sig? I hope the mods are OK with it.

I like the new sig. I do agree, we should use the dev trainer for the SP maps for grenades.
I have some new notes for modding: Never ask about grenades if you know you can't mod to make it infinite.

  • 01.02.2006 6:13 AM PDT

This is knj555. The HHT is close to the HMT except how you do things. For example you do not have to overwrite the META for an AR bullet to make it shoot sniper bullets just select weapons then assault rifle then go to the assault rifle bullet (it will have the catagory of projectile called proj for short) after you select it go down to the thing were you select the list of projectiles and pick one then press the button to switch it. This way it does not overwrite any META so you can make other guns shoot the AR bullets without keeping track of META number. You will get exception errors if you try to shoot out lets say grunts instead of bullets the way to do that is to switch the bullets model (mod) to a grunt model. Go to the projectile that you want to look like a grunt then change the mod META to a grunt. That is a couple of examples when you get the hang of HHT you will figure out other things by your self (probably through alot of exception errors too).

This is probably a little late, but I don't check the forums much.

About infinite ammo (also makes no reloading) go to a gun in HMT or HHT switch the number of ammo used (per shot) to 0 that will give you infinite ammo. Grenades are in th globals section I think (not grenade projectile).

Shooting grunts? That is seriously disturbing.

Yeah, it is. I heard of some mods that shoot MCs. You have to get the collision model plugin from Halomods and you replace it with the original plugin and you do it, but my tutorial only shows how to make the mods out of the HMT.
