Ok somebody asked me if i could change the Rocket Hog skin to make it look like the chain gun hog so i did and here it is..

I know a lot of you are gonna cuss me because it's classed as "editing" but it IS for Halo PC so yeh lol...

Tell me what you think.. Like i said it's nothing fancy just a 2 minute job and the rocket hog has no reflective properties so i couldn't make it more reflective at the moment..


i like the job you did on the rocket hog! the olive drab makes it look more military, like the scorpion or the chain gun hog does.

ever thought about doing some camoflage skins?

Now that I think about it, warthogs that actually blend in with the surrounding environment can be pretty neat, and add some more strategy into the game. Make a warthog with a grass like skin, and put it in a map like Blood Gulch.

Yeh winter cammo should be reasonable but as far as BG goes that could be a bit tricky as BG consists of both grass and dirt/sand.. So you'd be driving around all cammo'd on the dirt but as soon as you hit the grass you be like a tangerine in a cabbage patch

maybe make the rocket hogs dirt camo and the chain gun hogs grass camo.

lol! great analogy about the tangerine!

you could also make urban camo for the hogs on gephrephobia and woodland camo for the hogs on timberland.

hey, you could also do camo skins for team games!! like toy soldiers, you know, with the tan army versus the green army!

Sadly, no, the limitations of the game prevent people from doing that. Armoured Fury and I had a conversation about this on Xfire, and he said that it wasn't possible.

Yeh i'm afraid that that's only possible on Halo CE where the actual skins are enbedded within that particular map.

With Halo PC the skins are the same for every map in regards to teams any way, it's the same in Halo CE unless you make your own map and so on.

The other problem is IF i could find a way to do it everybody who wanted to see the results in game would have to manually inject the skins into the correct file.

But i'll open up Halo and see what i can do.. In the mean time feist your eyes on this unfinished Pelican i'm working on..

Normal reflectivity (with custom skin):

~~OR~~

More reflectivity giving a kind of chrome appearence:

Which do you think looks better?

Oh and also i attempted a "cammo" hog but not all that wavey line cammo stuff more of a "blending in" cammo for a map like SideWinder, problem is i didn't want to make it TOO white because it's supposed to blend into the environment =-/

Not bad at all. Try making the shotgun blue how it used to be like in the demo when Halo:CE came out. By the AR's beta skin do you mean the one with the wood trim on it?

The actual texture on the model is the same on all master chiefs. There is another setting I believe that changes the colours. I don't think HMT is able to edit that tag. If it is, you should be able to change it.

Yeh i just scanned through HMT and i'm not able to find a setting that changes it or a bitmap that would change it.

i like the standard pelican more, becasue it helps the skulls to stand out more.

WOW that is a NICE camo hog!! it blends in very well!! if you were playing a game with no motion tracker or FOF indicators, you wouldn't be able to see the hog until it was on top of you! nice job! did you use the skin that is on the sidewinder floor for the skin of the hog? it's a really close match!

to make a camo hog, you could use "old skool" camo like this or this or this

for a more modern camo paint job, you could use the digital stuff that they have right now

No i didn't use the texture from the floor of the map i made the texture from scratch lol..

Thanks for the comments =-) I agree that the less reflective Pelican looks better too. Also i'll try the old school cammo but i'm not too keen on that style myself unless it's the desert of arctic one.

the texture looks really close, good job!

i'm more of a fan of the older "splotch" camo myself, rather than the new-fangled digitals they have these days.

cool, can't wait to see some results on that hog!

i agree. the white should be tan, but they made it too light.
