LUMORIA: REBALANCED

Credits:

Lumoria is an excellent custom 4 part campaign created by the TM Mapping Team for Halo: Custom Edition, and with its last update released in 2012. I've ported this to MCC to give this wonderful creation a new lease on life.

I have recompiled the maps using tags from Ruby of Blue's excellent 'Ruby's Rebalanced Halo CE' (Seriously, I can't give that mod enough praise). Meaning the weapon stats and difficulty will be much the same as in his mod, though the care, and attention to detail will sadly be missing.

I have includes the BSPs and Brandon's model from the Definitive Edition. This will result in much better lighting, and a model that is more consistent with the other ODSTs respectively. Go and check it out!

I did not create this mod, nor any of the assets included. What I did do is synthesize what was available to create this experience. I hope you enjoy!


Mod Description:

Embark on a journey that brings you to the Forerunner world of Lumoria. When a scientific research crew sends out a beacon of distress, the UNSC frigate "The Endless Horizon", a frigate class ship, is sent in to execute a low-profile search and rescue operation. On board is May, a female SPARTAN II super soldier. Bred for combat, built for war. Along her side are a hardy group of higly trained ODSTs, lead by Gunnery Sergeant Brandon Keiffer. Drop in behind enemy lines and extract any remaining survivors as you race to uncover the secrets of Lumoria.


What will this mod add to my Lumoria experience?:

Working 2 player Co-op
Improved final boss
Pick up fuel rod cannon from dead enemies
Usable sentinel beam weapons now drop from enemies
An Energy Sword, Silenced SMG, and Flamethrower to find on every level!
Better destruction and effects across the board
Improved balancing and more '30 seconds of fun'
Check out Ruby's Rebalanced Halo CE for more specifics


Known Issues:

*Sometimes dialog will not play (maybe fixed?)
*Dropship turret isn't destructable
*When in co-op, you will respawn with a shotgun and magnum instead of AR and magnum
*Sometimes co-op will desync. Going back to the main menu, and then loading the mission directly, should help mitigate some of this
*Subtitles are missing

Version 1.5.0:
*Used BSPs from the definitive edition to give the mod much better lighting
*Used Brandon's model from the definitive edition to make it look less out of place next to Ruby's ODSTs
*Fixed onscreen text spacing

Version 1.4.1:
*Fixed distant water
*Mitigations for speech sometimes not playing (let me know if this still happens to you)

Version 1.4:
*Improved dialogue for Buggers
*Fixed broken dialogue for Engineers
*Made most ODSTs use Ruby's models. (Except Brandon because he has a unique color scheme and I don't yet have the expertise to do custom colors)
*Made a certain Elite have dual-wielded plasma rifles....
*Added easter egg silenced SMG. Same magazine size as an AR. However, bullets do a weaker 7 damge vs the AR's 10 damage, and it has a 2x scope with very good accuracy (while scoped in). Slightly less max spread than the AR, 4.5 vs 6.5 respectively when unscoped. Uses AR ammo packs
*One silenced SMG on each level
*One Energy Sword on each level (2 on Episode I)
*One Flamethrower on each level
*One Active Camo (at least) on each level
*One Overshield (at least) on each level
*Added 2 teleporters to Episode I that allow you to reach places you couldn't before...

Addendum:

This was done for personal use, and I figured I should go ahead and share it. That said, this is my first attempt at modding Halo, and I'm not super knowledgeable about the mod tools (but learning rapidly). So no guarantees that I will be able to fix any bugs that are reported. If you have any modding knowledge, feel free to take a stab at fixing some bugs and give me the tags, or let me know how to fix them and I'll credit you :) Also, I know the voice acting in this mod is sub-par, but there are no current plans to redo it.
