you have to pick a category (like the halo 3 menu for campaign and custom games) in options > video > background videos for it to play. it sadly doesn't just auto apply.

how do i apply it

yeah

does this still work

Could u add a version with the menu music attached to the bink files? You can turn the main menu music basically down to 1 and then the original game music can be played through the bink files. It is a way to replace the music. Id be happy if you could. I tried to myself but i do not understand how.

good one muuuuush

sadly no since 343 tied the audio of the menu videos to "main menu music", which doesn't actually control the video audio as you'd expect, instead acting like "0 = no audio, 1+ = full 100% audio"

I just wanted to ask if there was anyway to turn down the actual sound of the modded video? i am a bit new to this stuff on pc and just wanted the classic halo backgrounds but its a little loud.

Actual heat, tysm. My only question is regarding the music, Does it play the classic halo 3 menu music or no? if not then its all good, this is still TOP tier in regards to mods for this game :)

much love bro take my fuckin points <3

make sure to put main menu volume to 1 for best results

How do I pick a category and apply it?

Nice

doesn't work

Absolute legend, thanks.

The MCC haven't been updated since like July of last year lol

There hasn't been an update for some time and this is false information. However, there (currently) exists a bug in the current MCC build where your menu videos may reset for absolutely no reason whatsoever, and you have to re-apply them, which is likely what you're experiencing. I just booted it up and mine are still there, including the h3 ones.

Pretty sure latest updates broke this mod, in case anyone is wondering.

Does this include the halo 3 mythic videos? I can't find any that have all audio muted

You're a real OG, this is great

Bro crazy I come across this here. I had JUST said last night, "Man if I could change the music & backgrounds in the MCC's menu to be Halo 3 and keep the UI, I would never change it to anything else."

And now here you are. Doing Gods work.

nice

So, how do I make this work?

thankyou holy shit this was needed

You are a legend thank you. I was literally just thinking to myself a week ago, 'why doesnt 343 add the old halo menus as an option?' so this is great

Yeah, because of that I had to set Halo 3 to use the video menu for Custom games, since while I play campaign a lot, I only spend a couple of seconds on the campaign menu, while usually in customs you would take a while to set up everything before you can play with games. And therfore, the video for customs is the one you would see most of the time.

This is crisp af thanks a lot, I jus wish 343 allowed u to manually change backgrounds for all gamemodes, i have the H3 campaign one set and it seems a lil jarring seeing it in custom games and forge but thats such a small nitpick lol

Restart the game and check your background video options

It doesn't work for me can someone help? :(

Nvm, I'm dumb. I found the menu, look amazing great work.

Doesn't seem to work, unless I'm missing something

They never claimed there was any.

theres no music :(

Oh ok thank you.

Some videos with music recommends setting the menu volume to 1 since you won't be able to hear the original menu music, while the new modded video will play out at 100 volume.

If 343 fixes it so I can put menu music down to zero and keep the audio in the videos present, yeah. Until then no.

Any way to switch the audio from the MCC to the original halo 3 version?

@Vanilla bink videos don't require version checking like cache files do since they're just a video file.

@Demon maybe but if i do it'll be a separate pack.

Would you be able to upload a version in color similar to the halo 2 in color option?

I'm surprised this survived the 20th of July update but most mods on the workshop didn't lol

it's beautiful. Thank you

If i do any new variations they'll be a separate pack in the Video Collection, 3.1 gigs is pushing it a bit for me.

@Cryosphered fair enough mate, no worries. Just a suggestion, in this pack or another one, the Halo 3 backgrounds in colour without the blue filter, would be cool.

You could zoom into the video a bit to make it go slightly down so that the buttons in the menu hide the Bungie logo xP

Oh and regarding removing the Halo3/Bungie logo from loading, that would require me knowing how Xephorium's code works, and I genuinely do not feel comfortable modifying their code without their permission for the purpose of a bink. Plus, it's the loading screen, people are going to expect the H3/Bungie logo, and I don't want to bloat the pack with alt versions of minor changes.

@Heronimon the title screen being the 343 menu is outta my control, its not affected by mods. I'm guessing modded videos are saved to your xbl profile on pc so they're not loaded till you log in.

RE: Mythic, considering this is almost complete I'll look into doing a render after I redo CE's. I'm not gonna do a no SFX version however since, Mythic's audio is barely audible compared to Legacy menu anyway, and if you turn off menu music you turn off bink audio as well.

@Harbinger

I saw what you did with that change note

Nah, I will not complain about this being 3 GB in total considering that all the other Halo 3 replacement videos on the workshop are all 3 to 4 gigabytes PER video. So having them all in one 3 GB package is very good.

Specially considering that so far you have been the first one to actually upload the replacement for the Custom Games video which for some reason nobody else remembers it exists.

P.S. Can we please get a menu pack including the Mythic Menus and with no background audio on all?
