How To Mod Halo MCC - Vadam's Halo Mod Class Module 1.1: Installing and Learning How To Use Assembly 

Something I forgot to mention when swapping out the Spartan Laser projectile. If you want it to look like how it's fired in the thumbnail, you'll need to swap out the AR's firing effect with that of the Spartan Laser's. Search for Firing Effects, then look for the spartan_laser\fx\firing.

I am now enrolled in this class. Thank you ultra elite.

Online School: Vengeful 'Vadam edition

I have assembly, but 1 look into a map file & my brain is like: *"Aight, I'ma head out."* I Played a CRAP-TON of CE & Halo 2 mods since I was 14. Been wanting to create my own mods for YEARS but I was too retarded to read assembly. This free course is definitely gonna help. I'm 25 now.

Thanks for featuring my mod 😁

I'm still hoping 343 adds workshop support to mcc as that will make modding a whole lot easier

I appreciate the detail that went into this. I thought I might note that when spawning non-projectiles from weapons, the Crate Projectile tagref is more suited for this purpose; to give an example, go into a Custom Game and use the Projectile to spawn a biped and see what happens when you kill it.

Thanks bro, I'm currently making a Reach mod and the main things I'm interested in learning are model/shader recolouring, changing weapon spawn locations in campaign and changing what weapons AI spawn with. So I hope these are covered in the series.

I was always interested in Halo mods, but after I've seen and played your Reach campaign I was even more gungho about it, slowly teaching myself the ropes and whatnot, so seeing that you'll actually be having regular videos of teaching Assembly will be of great help because I'm sure there are stuff I'm missing. Keep up the great work!

literally got assembly last week and was struggling to figure it out, thanks!

Great video! This was super helpful as I have been interested in modding for some time. I look forward to your future lessons :) Also Seraphicy should teach about scripting

thanks so much for helping people to find and compile the CE fork. i do plan on making things easier soon, by having the CE stuff added to the main assembly repo and available through the downloader. sorry its taken so long lol

Super helpful stuff! I'm planning on editing some of Halo 3's campaign levels with a few more enemies at certain points. Hope modifying missions is something you'll be covering soon. Keep up the great work!

Dude this is so awesome, thank you for starting this series!

This has made me rethink how hard modding is. It’s not as hard as my mind was making it out to be, but I’m not saying it’s easy.

I hope one day we can replace the HUD and weapon models without triggering the EAC... I really want to swap my viewmodels in 3 and 4 with the ones from H2A and Reach and download high res texture packs too. Look mom I CAN pay attention in class, when I WANT too lol.

Thanks for featuring my mod I appreciate it. good job on the video it will be very helpful towards beginners.

You are an absolute legend my good sir! I've dreamed of getting into modding halo for a long time now, but just found it too intimidating to get into for someone who's more competent in physical matters than digital stuff. Thank you for making modding approachable to complete amateurs like me!

Thanks Vadam. I will appreciate this series greatly.

wow, i bought MCC last night and i wake up to this. Miracles do happen. love the vid looking forward to more classes.

This is really cool. Thanks for doing this.

Thanks for helping to make modding more accessible, I can't wait to learn more! I'm hoping that you'll have a part focused on AI later on.

Please continue the series!

I have a very basic understanding of Assembly so this class will be very helpful so thank you

Thanks so much dude, im looking into doing this. You made it easier. Have a great new year my guy

Fantastic video! I've been at it for six years and yet I still learned something! (Wish I knew about SnipeStyle's script compiler, that would've made my life A LOT easier)

Dude when more videos!? Love your work

I’m hyped. Time to make some cool shit.

I look forward to getting back into H2 modding! Miss those console glory days.

Congrats on hitting 30k subs!

Yes, hello I am here for the Halo mod Master Class.

yeaaah i will follow every video thank you very much

You know what I noticed V'V, of course, great content as always :-) I just noticed that HALO: Reach - Sangheili Ranger (with of course sage coloured armour and golden visor) would look like the Covenant counterpart of Master Chief =D

Good video man it makes using Assembly a-lot easier

Hey Vengeful ‘Vadam, I currently figured out how to replace audio files with custom sounds for CE, 3, Reach, and ODST by using Dark Souls Sound Inserter to open each game’s .sfx file on Steam. But I’m having trouble figuring out how to mod Halo 2 and 4’s audio because they use .pck files. I figured out how to extract the audio files, but I don’t know how to insert custom sounds. Do you know any tools that can help me out?

Oh thank god. I thought I was going to have to code in an assembly language.

When I try to open Assembly.sln in Visual Studio, the "Assembly" project file always fails to load. I have no idea why this is happening so any help would be appreciated.

On the topic of saving and keeping backups of your modified map files, I honestly think the most full proof method is to use GitHub or another similar code repository site. This automatically backups every version of the map file you upload so you can easily retrieve older versions if you need.

I don’t need to take out a loan for this class, right?

Thank you! I must put more troop hogs on tsavo highway

Editing tag variables next? That's primarily what I want to do

Awesome video!

glad you did this one my man.

I want to make a super lore friendly campaign mod that adds NPCs that are mentioned in books and stuff that were supposed to be there like the co-op elites in Halo 3 or Blue Team in the Halo 3 ending cutscene.

thank you my brother !

To be honest, no matter how good Assembly is and how many games we have in MCC, we still have a shitty UI, no SDK or official tools, and we can't use modded maps in matchmaking. I wish I could mod my own skins and look of the games and go into matchmaking with EAC on. I am 100% sure modding maps does not affect gameplay in matchmaking because we are not the host. And not to mention we have no server browser or anything too, so good luck playing your modded multiplayer maps. I also imagine the server browser they promised probably doesn't allow custom content.

Have you seen my Architect scenario editor tool? It makes setting up custom maps much easier but currently only supports Halo 3.

3:00. This is where I get stuck. I did everything you said to do exactly but when I get to this, it says "AssemblyUpdateManager" or "Blamite" in the third box to the right instead of "Assembly". I don't know how to fix this.

Thanks for this class mate

thanks bro

Gamer? I wanna see this continue

More assembly tutorial please

received sir

Nice!!!!

will you make a video about exporting and importing tags?it will be very useful for mods with custom skins

i liked and commented but im already subbed

When loading a map file in assembly it tells me my engine version is not supported even though everything is up to date.

Hope soon 343 puts in mod support or sdk

you gotta cover AI adding/editing/scripting to levels in reach

I feel dumb not knowing that I can use the poke feature to change things on the fly. I might have to give assembly another try now that I know that.

Will you eventually be going over something like creating your own weapon? I'm interested in changing how weapons look or creating my own.

Wish it was possible to edit gun textures, like I would love to port halo 2 anniversary multiplayer weapons to the campaign.

Is it possible in assembly to add more players in Halo CEA and 2A campaigns?

Is there a way so that my friends see the projectiles that I change in the game?

@TheVengeful’Vadam question about tags, are tags anchored to their games? Is it possible to shoot a projectile from halo 3 in halo reach?

Thanks

When I poke I get an error message

SVE Mythic Slayer & Halo 4 Leftovers For H2A Now Possible via a Patch? Yey!

Where would the player stats for halo 2 be located at in assembly? Such as player health and shields.

Hey Vengeful ‘Vadam can you review Cursed Halo made by InfernoPlus and can you do an analysis on it?

Not sure if this is basic enough, but how about showing off what you can do with editing vehicle tags?

I’m struggling with installing the lost warthog run... I have Project Cartographer, the patch file for the lost warthog run, and Assembly installed... I’m following your instructions to the letter and Assembly says “Enjoy!” But it doesn’t work

New class module when????

I have a quick question. If I wanted to play regular mcc and go back to modding another time, do I have to re-edit the files or verify through steam first? Or can I just play without losing any modding progress?

My advisor said this class was discontinued :/

i cant change the solution configuration in visual studio, or the other thing, it says attach and after i do that it still wont work

hi dude, Awesome tutorial !!!, but I have a question, if I want to make a mod that spawn AI in forge, what should I do (for halo reach) ? every AI mods are broken now so I want to make my own :)

For the next episode can you cover changing colors? Including weapons, vehicles, and displays like for the AR, BR, and DMR. That's one thing with assembly I still am having trouble with, modifying the rmsh-shader tag's RGB values doesn't seem to do anything.

Hi, when I try to open Assembly it doesnt launch for some reason, is there a way to fix it? I've compiled Assembly 4 times and downloaded it as well but they don't want to work

Ik this is an old video but im not seeing it in my ModifiableWindowsApps folder. When i went to download it it took me threw the xbox app and installed it from there, but idk where to go to get map files

when can we have more of this

Anybody know how to change what allies or enemies spawn in a campaign level? I'm trying to mess around in Halo 2 by having allies of units that are never on your side by default, like Drones, various Elite ranks, Brutes, etc.

THX boss

But what if you don't have the src folder or the assembly.sln file like i don't have?

Just unlock & enable leftover content in a mod & invite us that are on console or go to someone else hosting from pc with no active anti-cheat enabled ... and than save all the map & game types to your xbox file share for everyone.

When I try installing and clicking Downloader.exe it keeps giving me the error message, "Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service." Do I need to download the "Xbox Chaos Downloader" first or something?

So I've been using Assembly for a bit and while it's very useful, I still have no idea how to add support into formats.

I have a question and I'm currently modding halo 4 for personal uses and I wonder if there's a way to make a hunter's parts unbreakable, like the shield and their back?

For some reason, my MalwareBytes Anti-Malware keeps finding Trojans and backdoor malware in each download of Visual Studio Community 2019 that I download and try to install from the Microsoft website.

Every other game works fine, but when ever I try to change the SMALLEST thing about halo 4, the mod tool crashes. After that it gives me some big error thing and prevents me from opening the map ever again. Any fixes?

Hi can someone help me how do I turn off read only status in assembly as mods not working

Idk if you still view these comments but I found out how to get active camo always active for the player in the “hlmt” or “model” category on assembly. The problem is that it only works in old graphics for halo 2 and no matter what graphics I’m in the enemies still notice me. Do you know how to fix this? In halo 2? I really just want to be invisible for a whole level and it just doesn’t work.

hey so I'm able to do everything but load up the halo mcc from the windows modifiable apps do you know why this is?

How easy of hard would it be to change the color of weapons, vehicles, and objects? I’d like to learn how to do that personally.

is it possible to change the height of characters, like the marines for example, if anybody knows what to do pls tell me

How do i get the new version of Assembly in 2022?

Would it be possible to mod something like a spectator mode into MCC by using Assembly?

Here I was looking pries for a portable disk drive and a CD rom of Combat Evolved PC

halo editing kit tutorial please?

I have Halo MCC and Halo 4. There is NOTHING in the folder you stated. The folder is there, I play the game just about every day but the ModifiableWindowsApps Folder is empty. What am I doing wrong? I searched for a HaloMCC folder and came up empty also.
