Bungie's mission designers really were something else. From the script's comments we know they already thought the mission was too difficult, and then they go and add a 1/7 chance to a skull and beam rifle elites...

It is technically 1/8 chance, with how binary counting works. 01234567 is 8 integers to randomly select from. Which just goes to show how even harder and more rare it is.

@@jaxondimes You'd think so, but random_range uses the second arg (the 7 in this case) as an upper bound rather than an integer that can be selected. The possible integers returned from (random_range 0 7) are 0,1,2,3,4,5,6. A 50/50 chance for example would be written as (random_range 0 2)

@@me_Gustav I don't mod so I might be wrong, but Halo 2 has a lipsyncing program that tries to sync speech up with how mouths move the best it can, it extends to other species like elites. His model is an elite not found on outskirts, and Halo 2 only saves the AI variants it needs. He might add his guy to the mission, read his script, then put the file of him reading the script into the elite and record the gameplay. My guess is because it's a variant that doesn't normally exist in that mission, it guarantees his lines are read instead of normal elite ones.

This was very informative. On a completely different note, I was rewatching your Halo 2 Uncut Series, and I had an idea for the Juggernaut. Instead of having just a normal death animation, maybe when it dies, it stands still like how it did originally when it died. Then, after a few seconds, it starts shaking uncontrollably until exploding like a Carrier Form, sending a Crap TON of Infection Forms all around. I don't know if you can do that, but it would be a cool possibility.
@natayaway
@natayaway 2 жыл бұрын
this is not possible. the shaking requires an animation. since the juggernaut has different bones, it'd be impossible to retarget the animation. the most you can do without packaging a custom animation is a base move/scale/rotate of the biped, and then emit particles and spawn flood forms. unless you mean meme vibrating in place... that's doable.

You don't even have to turn off your Xbox to get the blind skull out of the trigger zone. Just pick up the skull and quickly back out and immediately press the shoot button to drop the skull so that the skull will drop outside of the trigger zone. The effect won't take place until the skull is held for a second so that's why this works I used to do this as a kid so that I can beat the covies with the skull without having blind. On the side note; because of this exploit, can you pick up the blind skull and hold it all the way to the IWHBYD trigger zone?

Hey pal, finally, an all encompassing daddy skull vid. Beautifully done and thanks for the shoutout! I knew when the delay worked that I had it but I didn't know what 'it' was until just now after watching so thanks. I don't know if you take suggestions on what to dissect, but I have two doozies. One is on Outskirts, I made a vid of grabbing the Scarab gun from inside the tunnel in single player. That trick almost broke me and that's no joke, I took myself too far. Anyway, the way you can display overlapping maps has me excited. While doing the trick I experienced (map madness) things that I've never experienced before while on the tunnel water map and at the same time on the inside of the tunnel map. I remember all those converging planes like it was yesterday. I think you would get a kick out of that map area. Another is the beloved Space Hole on Great Journey. You probably already know but the Space Hole is actually two boxes, a skybox and a projection box. The projection box has Monopoli's DaVinci egg hanging inside it. Harc launched up to it and then I took a difficult rout and aimed an AUPed turret with a swordfly ready Arbiter and simply flew over and landed on the egg. I have others but if I could make a wish to be able to see those maps like you do I can croak happy. This vid was the best modded instructional vid I've ever seen.

@@TheVengefulVadam On the OS maps, none of the planes for the tunnel, from one map, were parallel nor plumb nor level nor the same height as the other map. It also seemed to be in a different scale, when I moved the Pelican 3' in the water, I would go down and find it had moved 10' in the tunnel. I don't know if it's a scale thing or the Pelican sort of jumps when the tunnel map is loaded. Lots of questions there. Also, Dantheman87 discovered that the gun was also getable from inside the tunnel, that set me on my path. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGKpg6hsnZV_idE Princeofthesword first discovered the Space Hole but had no way to record it but Dantheman87 swordflew in there for him, maybe 2005 or so for the first documentation vid. The knowledge we gained leveled out until Monopoli uncovered the DaVinci egg. The funny thing was that through the years I kept hitting walls that shouldn't be there and I even did a corner ride by pure accident and that told us there was a second box. Then Monopoli said there were two boxes all along, one being the GJ Skybox for the explosions and such and a smaller box within the Skybox which does the game ending projections and the egg. It's considered impossible to get into the second box in single player, maybe you can find an opening. You are going to love the Space Hole.

Also, we loaded the rooms with the firefight zone with weapons and barricaded the side room before so it was easier to complete. And by "we" I mean we swapped controls each time we died, still solo technically.

@@TheVengefulVadam Ah! Fair enough! What I brought up mostly has to do with getting all skull profiles set up, period, but I'm quite glad you brought in a fascinating workaround glitch that seems incredibly rare, that more than made up for no mention of Envy regarding beating IWHBYD! 😌👌🏻

I remember halo 2 was my first halo game for my 360 that I got for Christmas. I remember playing and beating the story and eventually in high school beat legendary and I remember finding the Sputnik and the one skull with the dancing grunts. I’ve always had a hard time on how people kept these skulls saved and I just never understood it so I do want to try to collect them one of these days

If you do want a checkpoint standing right at the skull for the fight, you can absolutely do that. It just can't be the same checkpoint that the game creates when the skull spawns right in front of you. That one is a trick checkpoint that is voided and doesn't really exist. Skip the first courtyard via the roof and make sure the phantom doesn't spawn. Load the skull and backtrack on the roof and hit the trigger in the courtyard from above, when you see the phantom fly over go back and stand at the skull. The game has a series of checkpoints while stuff is happening in the courtyard, just let the game soak for maybe 10-20 minutes so all those CP's hit and you are good to go. This avoids getting them during the fight, unless you want that for some reason.

I just want to say that I’ve tried all the 7/8 checkpoints and three checkpoints to a T and the only method that let me spawn the skull was the one shown in this video. I triggered the dialogue with Johnson getting on the ship on the far left platform crossed the bridge grenade jumped up got the other checkpoint on the roof before sniper spawn then immediately after sniper spawn i meeled non stop till i got to the skull location and then stopped in room and boom there it was. Only guide that worked.

I never understood exactly how this worked (both the base RNG of getting the skull and the exploits surrounding it) so this was a fantastic peer back behind the curtain on a ridiculous game secret of my youth. Sick stuff.

I was watching the video while resetting the checkpoint before the sniper trigger over and over, finally got it half way through the video. RNG sucks, but at least we don't have to fight elites (achievement triggers right when you pick it up) or mess with save files anymore to keep the skulls (in MCC they're unlocked by default).

Great video man, it's been so long since iv done this i forgot all about the Elite arena. That's crazy about the sliver of the arena spawn zone that's outside the map on a different BSP i never knew about that, it's so cool actually being able to see that stuff with the H2 mod tools. I always that skull was rng and not tied to number of checkpoint lol

Great explanation! I never knew about that trigger volume method! Personally, I just activated the perma-camo glitch, then save/quit before picking up IWHBYD. Still had to kill the elites, but I didn’t have to actually deal with them killing me. :P

Hey man! I found that rooftop overlap, it's an older video of mine and it was around the time MCC came out. Per usual, I only have a few hundred views and nobody knows about it haha. It was the MCC graphics that gave me the thought, and amazingly the trigger was possible to hit.
