Okay, so i want to be able to make something like this



But since I've been told it's a biped an that won't sync in MP i'm trying to make one that's a vehicle like these.

So far no one has been able to tell me how to put active camouflage on a vehicle like in these vids. One of the videos is halo trial and says that all they did was copy and past the warthog over the snipers rifle in HMT or something. But i really need to know how to do this.

A plate full of cookies to whoever can tell me how they did it and help me replicate it.

No, I can't. My computer is still not cooperating with OS, and my page on there help site isn't getting any attention anymore. So i'm making it the way i know how.

For me, there are no problem with the setup but when i go in game the bump etc... don't appear on the maps lol.

...Idk\idc about OS right now, it's beside the point. I really want to know how to do this for the people like me who don't have OS. I really want to know how to give vehicles, and other objects(weapons, scenery, ect) this effect.

You can add a water shader to vehicles to make them appear to have camo.

Look at the wraith in Downflow.

Does it do the distortion effect? Like make things behind it look warped, or does it just have a clear shader that looks kind of distorted?

There is no distortion. It just makes the object invisible except for the edges.

i assume you're talking about the phantom, because i can't find a wraith and one isn't spawned when i do cheat all vehicles.



E: and i believe that's a shader_transparent_plasma.

It is the wraith. You have to look around the map for it. Cheat all vehicles does not work because there are more than 6 vehicles on the map.

By pressing crouch, the wraith will turn invisible.

Okay, sorry, i'll go look for it and brb. Thanks.



E:Okay, this isn't quite what i was looking for, but i think with a little editing it could work properly, thank you VERY much :) Would you mind explaining to me how it works and how to make it? i'd like to know how to cloak vehicles at the press of a button.

Wasnt there a vehicle in Huge Ass that if you pressed Q it would go invisable. Yeah it was, it was that little tripod thingy. So it is possible to actualy give it real camo.

In HMT, copy banshee meta.
Paste in the [itmc] (item collections).

But HMT isn't a CE modding program. I have it and it used to work but for some reason it doesn't anymore, i get an error when i try to open it. It says application has generated an exception that could not be handled.


Can someone help me get HMT working, or tell me how to do it in guirilla?

Slayer117, was it active camo or a shader_transparent_water like the wraith on downfall. If you pressed ctrl when you were in it it would turn invisible. I'll go DownLoad Hugeass and see. Yeah, it's a shader_transparent_water.

the ITMC swap is a glitch, and nobody knows why that happens.

A glitch i would make perfect use of, if i could get HMT working properly...My computer says i have .NET v2 already installed...What could be causing this?

Open your HaloCE map with HexEditor.

1. Replace "61 02" through "07 00".
2. Save.
3. Exit.


Open your HaloCE map with HMT.
Apply the changes, save, exit.

No, i think you misunderstood me, lol HMT won't even open, it says application has generated an exception that could not be handled and then closes down. It's not just that it won't open my map, otherwise i would just use halo maps version converter and convert it into a Halo:PC map then edit it and reverse the version change.

I got eschaton like xlzqwerty said to on another thread i made, but i can't figure out how to switch a vehicle for an item collection.
