Small suggestion: Mark IV, ODST style Halo 2

obviously I say it without bothering and with all my respect

Uploaded my temporary 1.6 update to the workshop :D

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3527658978

Small suggestion: ONI field operative armour (Like Veronica Dare's)

when this mod does get 1.6 will some of the armor get vacuum resistance?

@LunashineK9 Yeah, feel free to put it on the Workshop, with a couple of conditions. Please link to the original mod and don't change the mod ID. When I update this one, I expect you to remove your version from the Workshop but we can revisit that when the time comes. I have a lot of changes planned for this mod, so in the future I might not mind if you want to keep a "legacy" version around.

finally found a spartan but he so weak cause his shooting was 4 while melee was 2 while 1 marine in same group had 18 shooting and 2 melee and i checked the others and the marines seem to have the higher chance of having higher stats then the odst and the spartans

so is it possible for their skills to not be as random such as marines being at least level 6 or 7 while odst is at least 12 or 14 while spartans being around 17 and above

I might if Harkon is up for it, I'll need to do more testing with CE since I haven't been using that but its feasible

@Luna any chance you'll put the fork on the workshop?

Copy, thanks for the update, will grab Luna's fork.

Thank you Luna for getting the compatibility fork up in the meantime.

And I recommend you guys use the Luna's fork as I have a lot of mods to update and IS gonna take a while.

For 1.6 its completely broken, Vanilla Expanded Framework changed some of its naming conventions, the scenario needed some fixing to deal with the new Orbital layer, and a couple of other minor things.

If anyone really wants to use this before Harkon is ready to officially update it, follow the Github link up above and manually download the Forked version I made.

How broken is this in 1.6 atm?

plis 1.6?

1.6?

All these friendly people so helpfully suggesting the modder give them a truly grotesque amount of free work above and beyond what has already been provided.

my recommendation make odst, and spartan armor like vac suits
where you can use them in space.

Hey I'm not sure if you're checking here for suggestions, but I would love it if you were to add vehicles. The Scorpion and Warthog (in even just the basic HMG version) would be amazing. Thanks

I think marine and army armor sets would be dope, new ODST sets and colors and spartan armor variants. Maybe even get some lore weapons involved like the M73 LMG. More guns and armor and such would be dope.

Pushed another fix to that fork, the patches for the Spartan Laser and HMG needed some fixes.

Updated the mod myself for personal use, a fork for it was added to the github. By all means use it to update the main repo if it is up to your standards, initial load and moderate testing yields no errors so far.

what about a turret based in halo reach on the mission the package

reskin the new shuttle to a pelican would look nice

i saw in the comments you were planning an update. Upfront i'll say i love your mod, its one of my absolute favorites.

if youre looking for suggestions for content it would be awesome to see

vehicles: like pelicans and scorpions (i already use mods to add both) warthogs, drop pods for grav ships.

weapons: havok nuke (upscaled antigrain?), orbital strikes like archer or MAC

Armor: maybe afew more spartan variants?

buildings: rampart point defense turret, some UNSC barricades?

thanks
and i meant to say
harkon can you have a look at my post in the discussion some feedback made by killian
i messed up the spelling

@guardian1368 Before I start working on the update, I’ll go through all the comments, feedback posts, and any related mods that fixed issues with mine, just to make sure the update is as solid as possible.

LET'S GO MORE CONTENT FOR HALO RAHHHH

@Tazuki There isn’t a Discord link for the mod at the moment. And yes, it definitely needs a general refresh. I’ll be working on it soon(ish).

The mod could do with some new features, and the addition of vehicles like the wathog and pelican would be really appreciated. In addition, walls, a floor, a weapons storage box and new unsc-type barricades, as well as bags and radios, would also be nice. Can you also provide the discord link for the mode.

when i choose them as faction for the world they only spawn with one settlement but all the other factions start with several

please i need 1.6 i haven't played as much since all my saves but one have this mod

@guardian1368 i fixed the problem by creating a new kinddef into the code localy if you want to do it aswell before it gets officialy fixed you can head to your mods folder(mod id is 2851992615)
open defs folder then faction defs and pasted this code at the very bottom of the pawngroupmaker
line 140 <li>
<kindDef>Peaceful</kindDef>
<commonality>5</commonality>
<options>
<HALO_UNSC_MarineGunner>10</HALO_UNSC_MarineGunner>
<HALO_UNSC_MarineElite>5</HALO_UNSC_MarineElite>
<HALO_UNSC_ODSTGunner>5</HALO_UNSC_ODSTGunner>
</options>
</li>
it fixed it for me and i dont know what i did is right but i hope this helps someone

got a problem with the mod using 1.5
FactionDef HALO_UNSC_Faction must have at least one pawnGroupMaker with kindDef 'Peaceful', or 'permanentEnemy', 'isPlayer' or 'hidden' should be set to true. Otherwise no guests from this faction will arrive. This is a misconfiguration in HALO - UNSC Faction.

Config error in HALO_Research_UNSC_ODSTArmor: requires no techprints but has heldByFactionCategoryTags.
UnityEngine.StackTraceUtility:ExtractStackTrace ()
Config error in HALO_Research_UNSC_MjolnirArmor: requires no techprints but has heldByFactionCategoryTags.

can you also buff the spartan armour to be around the stats of Cataphract Armour from the royalty DLC and increase the shield cap on quality just like the shield belt

Hey all, so got a Royalty bug and a patch for it

If you try to use the included ODST Fireteam Scenario, your starting relation with the Shattered Empire from Royalty will be permanently -100. There's an included patch for this, but it only adds HALO_UNSC_Faction, while the Fireteam Scenario sets your faction name as HALO_UNSC_PlayerColony. No dev mode or faction relation mods will fix this

Go to steamapps/workshop/content/294100/2851992615/Patches, Open Royalty.xml, and directly below the line
<li>HALO_UNSC_Faction</li>
add
<li>HALO_UNSC_PlayerColony</li>
save+exit

You should now have neutral starting relations with the shattered empire when using the odst fireteam scenario

Will this mod be updated for 1.6, When it come out

Cant seem to get guest from this faction gives a yellow error message saying it doesnt have a pawngroupmaker kindDef set to peaceful. So i assume it just doesnt have it in the files.

Reposting, with a fixed link
I have created a small patch for this mod. It fixes the rapid fire shotgun and the Emplacements having the wrong heights, both specifically for CE

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3408286945

Running CE and the shotgun is nutty. Fires forever and at the speed of a SMG but with the normal spread and infinite range.

Im able to use CE with my save? the only problem is when using it with the covenant mod the UNSC are wayyy overpowered

im pretty sure CE unpacthed this or the mod needs to be repatched

How do I properly balance this and the covenant mod? i have CE enabled is there any way to make the 2 factions balanced?

yo man the MA37 rifle doesn't work. I'm using CE and when my pawns have access to the correct ammo they are unable to reload it and every time they try reloading the gun I get an error.

you added the spartan laser. but for the love of god why is it only a one shot weapon.

did CE get removed?

I would like to suggest more Spartan and police armor like those from H3ODT

I think it would be cool to also have the Mk V and Mk VII spartan armor variants, that would have similar stats but would look differently.

nova :3 you buy the research terminal from a UNSC trader or quest
fauxpaper you place the research terminal near the advanced research table

If anyone is confused on how to research things after you get the UNSC research terminal? you have to put it next to a multi-analyzer. I'm new to the game but it took me a bit to figure this out 0-0

IIRC the UNSC research terminal is supposed to be obtainable either by purchasing one from the UNSC or as a quest reward

@Nova I think something is wrong with the mod. May have to spawn it in in dev mode.

How exactly do I get the UNSC research terminal??
