Is It Possible To Make The Hog Slide On Ice?

yeah i got it to slide but there is one problem. No matter the surface type it just slides the same. The map still wont load in mp though.


here is how I got custom vehicle tag into my map

1st i deleted the reference to the warhog.vehicle in the shared.map in the halo map editor map folder, this makes h2tool put the vehicle tag into the level.
But there was one problem, h2v wont load mp maps that have vehicle tags in them :(idk why. luckly i got scripting to work so i made a singleplayer map and h2v loaded my map with the vehicle tag in it, i made my custom sniper rifle spawn the hog, netgame equip dont work on sp. oh and to get sp menus i just hex edited one byte to make the game load sp menus.




things I changed in the vehicle tag.

Under physics
Ground friction left it at 0.85
Ground moving friction changed to 0.0014

Under friction points
Note: there are 4 tires

Moving friction velocity diff. Back 2 must be a lot lower, I think its 4:1 ratio.
Front 2 changed to 0.007
Back 2 changed to 0.00175

and the e-brake stuff needs changing.

Other stuff like speed acceleration and deceleration may need changing.

It will take a lot more tweeking to perfect it, chances are bungie could change the settings in real time while driving the hog, I have to compile and go into halo just to test a single change, hmm this reminds me of real time halo for entity.


Once again you can thank kornman00 for the unlocked tools which allowed me to get this far.

This is what Im talking about I did In H2x.

I have not messed with hexing atall to fix this "ICE" problem but i have messed with all of those settings you mentioned. It did not help me atall. I'm gonna try a few things that just popped into my head. I do know if you got the hog to slide but it does not work in MP it is useless to most people but its deffinetly a good think because its one step closer to this small goal.

sweet warthog. the only way to get the hog to slide in mp would be to mod shared.map but this will change the hog for all levels. unless you can somehow inject a new warthog version (like warthog_ice.vehicle) into the shared map, so when compiling it will not have to put ice hog into the mp level and in game it can just load the ice hog from the shared.

yeah, i tried putting a slidy hog in my map and it wouldn't show up on the ingame list. It was just a new .vehicle tag

c'mon somebody needs to figure it out.

Dosn't this look like its begging to be slick?

Yeah H2 guerilla and sapien is really annoying. that ice really wants to be slick:)

replace them with ponds or something, it'd rather play a revamped and nicely done newer sidewinder than a simple port with ice that isn't slippery.

yea but even water in h2v kinda sucks. well shallow water is ok if you make the ground under the water have a liquid material, then when you shoot the water it will spawn a water effect, cheap but effective.

Corscars, i was thinking the same exact thing you mentioned about making my sidewinder port a spring type setting after i could not make the ice skick. its as simple as changing some materials. i'm on it.
