I just wanted to share this with everyone. This is a short demo of a new project I am working on that will hopefully be a full campaign one day with bonus parallel story lines and multiple endings.
The Jackal/Grunt/Elite biped, model_animations, and first person hand textures/shaders are mine and are free to use. So are the actor_variant tags, fixed vehicle tags, and the Easter Egg gun tags. The Healthpack Covenant.equipment is also free to use. The Cyborg, ODST biped, and the Halo 2 guns are from HaloMods downloads section here.
The Jackal can use all guns, can drive the Ghost, Warthog, and C Turret. Covenant allies can board the Warthog passenger and gunner seat with you as a driver. Some missions start on the Shadow dropship with first-person view of the passenger seat. The only thing so far the Jackal cannot throw grenades yet. To use your shield, just crouch. Remember, the Jackal uses the shield in their right hand.
The missions include a10, a30, and a50. There are much better cutscenes this time with simulated voice acting and real objectives. Pillar of Autumn has you assassinate the captain, and then raid the rest of the ship. Halo includes infinite waves of dropships and three Cyborg bosses. The Pelicans will begin exploding if you kill him. Truth and Reconciliation introduces some of the story that will be developed on, as you fight to protect the downed mothership during a cyberattack.

Hey thanks DeadHamster! I released the PC version later after adding a lot of extras. I thought I could change the title of this post when I made it.
Any advice or requests would be greatly appreciated. I am still looking into implementing more features to this mod.
The hands currently are cyborg models but grunt arm textures. I'm hoping to include new models overall in future releases.
The health bar is meant to be hidden as your shield vitality is adjusted to replace your body vitality. This is meant to offset not being able to shoot while taking body damage because of a third-person stagger animation.
Also, I was hoping I could get advice on getting the grunts to drive ghosts and ride in warthogs. Any comments or criticisms are also appreciated
The PC version of this play-as-grunt campaign has just been released here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1r_LeMLtIQpm8ypyQMIglWNi16a11s8Y_
This version is updated and features boss battles with the Master Chief.
I still plan on making more content for Halo both CE and Xbox. Next I will do a campaign using multiplayer maps. If you want to see more covenant campaigns follow me on ModDB: https://www.moddb.com/mods/halo-covenant-edition
Thank you for the reply DeadHamster! Your comments have been noted and I will try to implement your ideas.
Could you explain to me what is hitscan? How could I implement something else?
Also an update is planned which may feature more health to reduce the stagger effect, plus other content based on input from the community.
This mod is meant to be very difficult

HALO: COVENANT EDITION
Play as a grunt in Halo campaign - fight marines alongside your covenant allies - now with more content
Features: -boss battles featuring the Master Chief -play as a grunt on Covenant team -spawn with covenant encounters -fight against marines -fight with allies -can use all weapons and vehicles -uses player walking physics -player has shields -press white to say a taunt -new cutscenes and intro -Easter eggs -new colours for grunts -respawning enemies -new battles and encounters -see covenant in idle state and explore
This map pack radically changes the dynamic of Halo's campaign. You will spawn as a grunt among your allies and make your way through what is now allied territory to seek battle. You fight marines and flood along-side your covenant allies. There are less battles but the battles that are there are much bigger and can theoretically last hours. Marines use different weapons and tactics which make for interesting fights. Each level should be beatable but you must meet a condition, i.e. defeat all enemies, hit a switch, or reach the end of a timer. For example, to beat a50 you need to kill Captain Keyes and wait.

Thanks a lot!
How do I add cyborg/elite shields to custom bipeds and characters, such as grunts? Is this in the bipd tag or somewhere else?
Thanks bro! I ran command prompt as admin and it worked this time
When I run build-cache-file with tool, it saves a .map file but the icon has a small lock over it. I cannot see the file under my normal file explorer but I can see the file when I use Guerilla to open file. Anyone know why this would happen?
I was missing a bunch of .weapon and .vehicle tags [I'm assuming are campaign specific] .. debug.txt help me tremendously with troubleshooting .. found the extra tag set on this site at "http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1389" .. thank you guys.
also re sparkedit .. I can play SP maps with scen objects being translated, but not duplicated .. using vbindiff I see that when sparkedit handles duplications in single player maps, 0x42 bytes are overwritten somewhere in the scenario tag, while for multiplayer 0x42 bytes are injected, and one byte is incremented [the number of objects in that tag], and a number of other 4 byte values following it are incremented by 0x42 [which I assume is the size of the data] .. like anyone cares anymore. ;]

I agree with you about perfection though .. it's why I cling to the original Halo engine so much .. why would I rock anything less than perfect ;] Edited by KasperZERO on May 23, 2017 at 01:06 AM Edited by KasperZERO on May 26, 2017 at 12:43 AM
I try to load any .scenario tag with Sapien and the program will just freeze as it boots up and crash. I'm not trying to make a new map but modify existing campaigns to add new scenery weapons enemy spawns etc.
So how can I load a stock campaign .scenario tag into sapien? is it possible?
Also I don't know if anyone still does Halo Xbox but Sparkedit corrupts campaign maps when saving after duplicating things ..
I got Arsenic v2.0.0.9, installed SlimDX and .NET, and it won't run.
The error is a System.IO.FileNotFoundException
Is anyone familiar with this? Why this program won't run :[
edit: I had the January 2012 SlimDX installed, maybe that was why? I uninstalled that first then tried installing the November 2008 after I ended up finding it here. It now works. Edited by KasperZERO on Jul 27, 2017 at 02:03 PM
Could you please go into some more detail about this? I don't know where that is you got that screenshot from
Is there a way to activate flashlights as part of the meta or tag, or does it have to be scripted?
In Truth and Reconciliation, the marines have their flashlights on. I notice also that they turn their lights on after exiting the pelican in-game.
Is this a script or a part of the actor or weapon tag? I'm trying to have the marines turn their falshlights on in other levels. Anyone?
I'm just wondering if anybody knows about this topic .. there's an actor variant tag with upper and lower color bounds, but I notice with the grunt minor that there is no color value, even though the grunt major has a color value. In fact, grunt minor meta is about x20 bytes shorter, leaving out the array which is supposed to hold the value
EDIT: The offsets for grunt minor RGB color lower and upper bound is in the bipd tag, located at 0x524 to 0x53b in the meta. Thank you, notrododo93 Edited by KasperZERO on Mar 1, 2017 at 10:08 PM
I prefer to play on the TV. I'm not a serious gamer, hence why I'm just trying to do some reskinning mods and aesthetic stuff to visually enhance the game a bit for myself .. the more I look into this though I may get HCE so I can get into making machinemas
FYI, I found the offsets for Color of emitted light lower and upper in the shader model meta file, from offset x78-x83 and x84-x8F. I used a hex editor and voila, glowing.

You know what, considering that, I'll invest in getting Halo PC if I can find a copy. Just never owned the game for computer tbh. I always loved Xbox.
Still if you happen to know something about this I would appreciate any advice you could offer, even if somebody could just confirm that this is possible to do either on the Xbox or on CE.
I know this may not be the place for help modding Xbox when this is a CE forum, but all the Xbox forums are (to my knowledge at least) all down. You guys have still just helped me out a ton though.
