Noble Actual mission in Forge
By PepperMan

Ever wanted to explore the area of Reach from the first mission, Noble Actual? Well now you can! This mod offers a fully converted map to work in forge mode, no map boundaries, and several vehicle and biped additions to help those who want to set up dioramas or use the map for filming etc.


Features:

Map:

  • No map boundaries whatsoever - explore as much as you like!
  • The entire area is featured, including the warthog drive at the beginning and the UNSC base area
  • Replaced some static props such as vehicles with fully functioning counterparts!
  • Accessible UNSC base building where the interior sections of the cutscene takes place, although it is mostly empty. You may need to crouch jump to reach the door as the stairs are not solid!

Vehicles:

  • A few vehicles are automatically placed on the map at the start, so you can immediately get to exploring!
  • Troop Warthog
  • Warthog with empty rear
  • Falcons
  • Oni Vans
  • Pickups
  • Cargo Truck
  • And best of all - A modified Pelican, featuring moving landing gear with collision, opening/closing cargo door, custom strings, working cannon, proper glass cockpit, enterable interior, and full animations!

Forge:
  • Monitor mode is completely functional as you'd expect in a normal forge map
  • Monitor mode is COMPLETELY INVULNERABLE and has NO COLLISION - yes that means that you can fly through the map/objects without dying to get the best screenshots possible, or to simply aid in exploration!
  • Effectively unlimited forge budget

Unfortunately it would take a very long time to import all forge items, however I have included the necessities, and some custom bonuses:
  • Initial Spawn Point
  • Respawn Point
  • Falcon
  • Warthog
  • Oni Van
  • Pickup
  • Cargo Truck
  • Custom Pelican
  • Normal Bipeds:
- Generic Spartan model
- Generic Marine model (broken)
  • Special Biped Heads, found in this mission's files
- Carter's Head
- Jorge's Head
- Jun's Head
- Kat's Head


---IMPORTANT--- Installation Instructions ---IMPORTANT---

THIS MAP REPLACES SWORD BASE
To install, first make a backup of your "20_sword_slayer.map" file.
If you are unsure of the location, it can be found in your game files at:
"*yoursteamgamefolder*\Halo The Master Chief Collection\haloreach\maps"

Next, simply extract the map file from the download .zip file, and place it into the same location. Done!
Simply load up a match of Halo Reach Forge on Sword Base, and enjoy!

This map can also technically be played as a Slayer custom game, however you won't have access to very much.


Known Issues:
  • Client tends to crash upon leaving the game
  • Warthog variants other than "Troop" fail to spawn their weapon attachments, forceloading them crashes the game
  • Marine Biped not spawnable despite being force-loaded like the others
  • "Spartan" string not showing up under the bipeds section of the forge menu
  • Instead of always spawning at the preset Initial Spawn Point, game seems to randomly choose between it and the Respawn Point that is also set on the map
  • Imported vehicle's lighting/textures flicker black occasionally when moving
