This mod contains all of my custom Halo 3 tags that I have made that may come in useful for others in their mods.
SPARTAN TANNER TAGS
This mod contains the following for now:
[Halo 3] M12A1 Rocket Warthog
[Halo 3] V-14C NMPD Hornet
[ DETAILS ]
M12A1 Rocket Warthog
This is a recreation of the M12A1 Rocket Warthog for use in Halo 3 that was first introduced in the Gearbox port of Halo CE to PC. The Rocket Warthog is not a variant of the default Warthog, it is instead a custom warthog vehicle with a custom rocket turret that uses a modified HUD.
The M12A1 Rocket Warthog uses custom bitmaps and shaders (The paint scheme was custom made by me). Everything else about the Warthog (Dashboard textures, JMAD, COLL and PHMO are all stock Halo 3). This was done to save on filesize. The Rocket Warthog has a scenery tag for cinematics and only has the following variants:
default
wrecked
no_turret
wrecked_turret
I kept the other three variants incase they were needed
The Rocket Turret is a heavily kitbashed Halo 3 Chaingun turret. It makes use of Halo 3 and Halo Reach assets (Falcon Grenade Launcher Turret). It has a modified HUD in order to display the "Heat Meter". For some reason I couldn't get magazines to work with turrets so I settled on adding a overheat function. It can only fire three times before having to reload. It has proper support for damage states and the Gun garbage piece is custom made.
V-14C NMPD Hornet
This is a NMPD Hornet that is a kitbash of the Halo 3 Hornet with the NMPD Police Pelican. It is similar to the standard Hornet but has a Crowd Dispersal Grenade in place of Missiles which can throw objects about and deals minimal damage. It also mostly uses stock tags and is also not a variant of the stock Hornet tag. The lights only turn on when the player enters.
There is also a modified generic_stanner.character tag that is modified to be able to use these two tags. You will have to overwrite the base generic.character tag with mine so that AI can use the custom tags (Otherwise they'll just not do anything)
Finally a modified version of Sidewinder with AI that use the Rocket Hog and the NMPD Hornet is included with a simple script. There are two teams, Blue (ODST's) and Orange (Marine's). Both teams have 2 Rocket Warthogs and 1 NMPD Hornet. The Script enables the AI after 300 ticks and continuously respawns the AI's. You can do whatever you want with the .scenario and its accompanying scripts.
Feel free to credit me if you happen to make use of the Rocket Warthog, Rocket Turret or NMPD Hornet in any mod.
