SPV3.

2 Changelog
- 3.2.0
• General
- Added in new post processing making reshade irrelevant, and
drastically overhauling the visuals of the game.
- Made changes to how data is stored, which should result in
smaller overall (relative) installation size and make the mod
fully incompatible with regular Halo CE installs, so people who
accidentally merge both games suffer more.
- Overhaul of textures throughout the game, lowering compression
and either remaking, using less compressed, or machine learning
upscalers to improve visual fidelity for 4K users, although
everyone will see improvements.
- Improved Cortana's facial expressions.
- Removed some extraneous data from the opening cutscene.
- Improved flashlight effect.
- Fixed an issue where some shield generators were generating
lights when they were not supposed to.
- Added Revive system for story critical characters.
- Reduced rate of health regeneration armor ability, and slightly
upped the health you gain back.
- Added new volumetric fog "fix" throughout the game.
- Fixed an issue where flood pods could display text to press E/
Action to “flip”. This also means no more text is displayed to
flip vehicles, although you still can do it.
- Brought in a number of fixes from the Halo CE Refined and
Enhanced projects.
- Getting near waterfalls makes water droplets appear on your
visor.
- Snowy areas create frost on your visor.
- Temporarily removed skulls, as we will be adding them back in
when firefight comes out. The plan is as we develop the firefight
skulls, to updated an add them into the maps.
- Fixed a bug where active camo conflicted with the armor
abilities, making enemies be able to see fully cloaked players.
- Updated various animations for first person weapons and some
cinematics.
• Enemies.
- Reduced Flood Jackal Forms scream frequency and replaced old
sound.
- Fixed an issue where some infected Elite ultras would get red
armor instead of white/silver.
- Fixed an issue where infected (black armored) Specop Elites had
different colored lights than Specop Elites.
- Overhauled Brute AI aiming values for Brutes with Brute Shots
- Fixed some discrepancies between marines and ODST AI. Both are
identical now, with ODSTs getting night vision and more emphasis
on sneaking.
- Fixed an issue where the Specops jackals would hold the trigger
on their shredders.
- Made a change to Sentinel Enforcer AI so they stay further away
from each other, so there is less of a chance of a chain reaction
of deaths when they die.
- Fixed a bad animation reference for Skirmishes being infected by
the Flood so they now react properly.
- Fixed an issue where some Flood Elite runners could have their
infection form destroyed and still stay alive.
- Found a problem with Brute Flood upgrading to cut "major" rank
with no visible changes and only receiving health buff, so major
rank has removed. This means all Brute combat forms have a
base120 health, rather than some 120 and some 160. In short,
Brute flood are easier to kill on higher difficulties than before
- Fixed an issue where the minor Brute Flood assault rifle rank
dropped less ammo than it should.
- Changed Brute Flood pistol ammo drop amount to be between the
drop count of the old minor and major ranks, since now there is
only one rank.
- Brute Flood forms with turrets do 10% less damage to player than
before, keeping it in line with other flood wielded weapons. (All
AI in H1 do 50% less damage, with a few doing 40% less which
seems to be a mistake in 99% of case)
- Brute Melee does less damage to human characters (other than
player) so it is not an instant kill.
- Fixed an issue with the Skirmisher minor head, which should
result in slightly easier headshots.
- Made Skirmishers react more to damage.
- Fixed an issue that made Skirmishers harder to headshot than they
should have.
- Honor Guard Shield has better shaders, which turn red according
to their vitality. Bullets won't make the shield visible, but
they will play a ricochet sound.
- Added new Cortana lines to better help players understand how
Honor Guard Shields work.
- Added new Elite armor variants, so each rank has its own distinct
look.
- Fixed some issues with compression and other assorted errors in
the Elite bitmaps, resulting in a substantial visual upgrade.
- Made Elites eyes more reptilian and less human.
- Made Elite weapon switches to sword and Void’s Tear more rare and
less predictable.
- Changed blind wolf behavior so that the wolves will get violent
when a percentage of their herd strength reaches a threshold,
rather than how many are killed.
- Improved Blind Wolf animations.
- Fixed an issue where the Brute Combat form would sometimes float
in midair after dying.
- Slightly lowered Enforcer health.
 - Changed Enforcer debris to be something less taxing on memory and
particles.
- Jackals can now melee.
- Added more armor permutations to marines.
• Weapons

giving the player a red reticule.
- Fixed an issue with incorrect ammo pickup on the LMG.
- The grenade launcher projectile now uses a lower resolution
bitmap which makes it more visible in flight, and also cuts back
on loaded unneeded resources.
- Increased Shade projectiles/heavy plasma bolts damage vs vehicles
and Hunters. Also increased splash damage that all enemies
receive.
- Decreased fuel rod damage vs vehicles. Now does less impact
damage, but splash damage is higher. Also increased its damage to

camo.
- Updated and revised models for the LMG, Sentinel Beam, Sentinel
Sniper beam
- Specop SMG now has greater accuracy and fires in bursts when in
scope.
- Fixed a visual inconsistency with how SMG's are presented in both
model and HUD.
• Standard SMG has stock collapsed in first person, third person
and HUD now.

person, and HUD now.
• Amped SMG has stock extended in first person, third person, and
HUD.
- Overhauled Piercer (back ported from cancelled project known as
Oddball/Banished: An ODST Story) to better perform as a more
scary needler type weapon for high ranking units.
• Bursts for .6 seconds instead of .7.
• Bursts is more evenly distributed.
• Burst is more consistent in projectiles fired.
• Reduced spread to make enemies more effective with it at close
range.

less time to drop.
• speed of projectile is halved, to make it more fair to fight
against at range.
• Projectile class changed so that ai sound needler/impaled
dialog instead of burn.
• Projectiles depower active camo.

• Brutes get an additional damage bonus (used to receive 80% of
base damage, now receive 200%).
• Shielded units no longer receive as much of a damage reduction
(but base damage is lower so overall the same).
• Receives reddish orange color, to better distinguish from
spiker.
• Added red orange flare when held so more easily seen from
distance. (todo)
• Projectiles no longer effected by player movement when fired.
• homing reduced to compensate for higher base accuracy and
slower speed (which means the projectile has more time to home
than needing to home.
- Redid Brute Plasma Pistol overcharge to more closely resemble our
original vision for it.
• Flames now stick to targets
• Flames spread over time
• Damage recalibrated now that it sticks
• Pistol now has an animation when fired in third person by ai.
• Works better as an inverse of the regular plasma pistol
- can't really hurt shields, devastating vs flesh.
 - Can now be fatal to players who do not move when set on fire,
as damage stacks the longer more fire spreads on the area.
- Brute PR was not using an updated set of effects for the
overheat. Now it does.
• Vehicles
- Redid how vehicles damage effects and particles are done,
significantly reducing strain on the engine, improving quality
and can change in visual fidelity and engine stress based on
mission requirements.
- Fixed a bug where the Banshee fuel rod was not doing the same
damage as the Hunter fuel rod. (Banshee fuel rod does same damage
now as Hunter and Shade fuel rods, but has less arc and different
physics). This mean it is more effective against certain targets
where previously it seemed to do no damage.
- Fixed an issue where one of the warthogs wheels would not animate
properly with the vehicles suspension.
- Fixed an issue that should eliminate all crashes from hijacking
Ghosts.
- Made a change to Grizzly animations, which fixes reports of
accuracy issues.

- Made some small changes to aiming and deviation angles for the
Grizzly, due to changes with the animations.
- Decreased Wraith mortar impact damage, increased splash damage.
Will now kill a spartan with yellow health majority of the time.
Overall, splash damage does more, impacts do less, overall damage
is lower but higher chance of doing damage. Damage overall
increased for unshielded enemies.
- Redid Wraith mortar physics for the projectile so that it feels
more natural and is easier to aim, and thus they are featured
more prominently for the player to use in new missions.
- Made a change to Wraith ai so they fire the mortar more
accurately at range.
- Changed model and textures of Grizzly debris so that it takes up
less memory.
- Increased bounding radius on Grizzly, making it easier to enter
and also making marines less likely from running into the tracks.
- Upgraded the Elites that are in the shadow gunner seat to be of
major rank, in order to avoid them dying before the driver.
- AA Wraith no longer fires fuel rod and overheats, now has rapid
fire heavy plasma/shade projectiles and is less stressful on game
and lets us properly balance the fuel rod.
- Reduced particles on destroyed Wraith scenery.
- Changed particles for Warthog destruction to be more realistic
and be less stressful on the engine.
- Fixed an issue where some Covenant Shade turrets created more
particles than others.
 - Upgraded Warthogs to share more resources between variants,
resulting in us allowing more hog variants in more maps while
