UPDATE2: FIXED! Also mod manager enabled now. It was a leftover .xmb file that was breaking the UI for human players trying to play flood or forerunners.
Update: It is worse than I thought, something is breaking when trying to upload this version that I'm not sure of yet. It seems it breaks the flood/forerunner for human players. So far it seems like the AI will use them fine but the upload has something broken for the players where it will crash to desktop with a human player as forerunner or food. I'm thinking its something to do with the UI but I haven't found anything yet. Sorry to hype everyone only to release a broken build. I'll be working to fix this as much as I can.
Changelog V1.2
-AI Reworked!
-Stat tweaks to balance Forerunners, aiming for cheaper costs but slightly longer build times since units can be made in waves instead of one at a time
-The triggerscript for the skirmishAI has been reworked to handle custom civs.
-Also reordered by the triggers group ID's instead of how it was originally.
-The Flood and Forerunners now use a custom civ instead of piggybacking completely off of UNSC/Cov.
-This allows for each civ to have its own aidata.
-Forerunner Tech tree reworked. Placeholder Sentinel added for later use. Right now he is a powered up version of the base sentinel.
-Placeholder/Icons added for most units.
-Flood Powers allow for expansion nodes to be placed and defensive roots to be grown
-Damage done by incinerator nerfed
-Forerunner AI should now build turrets and upgrade resource generators.
-New UI! Custom Green menu UI for the Flood and Orange menu UI for the Forerunners.
Known Bugs:
-Sentinel units have a hard time attacking T1 flood base (??)
-infection forms sometimes get stuck on main flood base if too many are spawned.
-AI sometimes expands with wrong building at base sockets

So question
How to install a mod for cracks
Just asking
you can't.
Mods will only work for Steam and Windows Store versions.
Old but if you never figured it out, I will try it on myself, always glad to help an honest stalker!
Buy the game, Should solve all your issue's.
Make sure u have the game on steam then make sure u have downloaded the mod that you wanted, then u will find HowToInstall.txt file that will guide you on how to complete the installation
seems to me like this game is not so easy to mod because i see allot of mods but they all seem to be the same adding non playable factions already in the game and not much else.....
unless someone is making a mod in secret that adds new units made from the ground up and brand new never before seen in game features units maps and more?
hope someone can break this game and make a good mod before i get the sequel.
i really want to see someone mod this game and make a complete overhaul mod for this game......
good luck guys!!!
Working on it.... things like this take time though. Waiting on a way to access the HW Alpha files for the maps/ models. Same with porting HW2 assets back.
i hope you will be the one to break the game first
i bet you have tons of ideas for new new vehicles and features and more.
I'm not sure what to call this idea but has anyone thought of doing "correct" colors for the units? Like the Grunt Minors to be orange, Elite Minors to be blue, and etc instead of everyone just being purple. I figure something like this would be best seen in the campaign.
looking in the files of the game theres a bunch of unused units and structures [cut units] for UNSC and Covenant, any chance of someone modding them to be buildable?
Most of the units that are from the campaign are missing their models and they can't attack. For example: The Rhino.
Actually, you can use them. The issue isn't they don't have a model, it's that the model doesn't get loaded outside of the campaign. Many people including myself fixed that and had them working in skirmish matches and other campaign levels fine
How did you get them working correctly in the campaign?
