Halo Reach: Slipspace Beta

Welcome to the beta of Halo Reach: Slipspace! This mod brings the space combat of the Halo franchise to Halo: Reach, featuring epic fleet battles between player-controlled ships!

Currently, the mod includes a basic forge selection, including multiplayer essentials, 6 UNSC ships, 5 Covenant ships, 9 types of destructible asteroid and a selection of destructible UNSC scenery.

Be sure to join the Discord to find the modded gametypes that allow players to spawn directly into their ships through loadout selection, as well as become part of the community and find lobbies to play in!

Alternatively, you can download the gametypes and map variants here;

Gametypes - https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/i1zwxupyhynf03xgumqhp/Gametypes.rar?rlkey=dz1eei7cmwbsinc1g2o7duytl&st=l4aaxa9m&dl=0

Use the following guide to install these files;

Step 1 - Install the Slipspace mod via Steam workshop


Step 2 - In the Slipspace discord server go to the "gametype-downloads" channel and download the following:

fleet_slayer.bin
fleet_invasion.bin
95b90645-0710-4193-bed1-e307d5a51aa0.mvar
0a25c7ad-1e26-45cc-a4d9-c23e54082319.mvar


Step 3 - Put the .bin files into the following directory:

Program Filesx86\steam\steamapps\common\Halo The Master Chief Collection\haloreach\game_variants


Step 4 - Put the .mvar files into the following directory:

Please DO NOT copy this directory from here, you must manually browse here yourself as it is slightly different for each person!

You can browse to it by pressing the WIN+R shortcut and then in the run prompt that appears typing %appdata% and pressing enter, this will bring you to your AppData/Roaming directory, you must go back one folder to AppData/ to see the LocalLow folder we're looking for.

AppData\LocalLow\MCC\LocalFiles\000900000023d4ec\HaloReach\Map

IMPORTANT!!! -> If you do not have a LocalFiles folder in MCC then you must go into forge (I think any map will do but I used the mod maps) and save a custom map variant. Note that my file path says 000900000023d4ec but yours may differ!

You should now be able to see the map variants for the mods maps!


MCC is notoriously finicky to try and host games on, you can use the below guide to get your friends/community members to join you;

How to obtain a Steam join link for your lobby

Step 1 - Start a game lobby

Step 2 - Press Shift+Tab to go into the Steam overlay

Step 3 - Click on friends at the bottom

Step 4 - Click on your profile picture to bring up your steam profile page

Step 5 - On the right of your steam profile page you should see a green "Join game" button - Right click it and hit "copy link"

Step 6 - Paste this link into the text chat of the voice channel you are in (or directly message it to people)

Step ??? - Users then just need to paste the link into any browser as long as it isn't the ingame steam browser

Gametype Help
This mod would quite literally not work in multiplayer without the contribution of Cantaloupe0 of the MCC Gametypers Discord, who provided script that allows players to spawn directly into ships by choosing the corresponding loadout. Due to a very strict engine limitation, non-host players are unable to enter most of the ships manually, and this gametype script bypasses that critical issue.


Modding Help
Acknowledgements must be made to the following members of the Halo Modding community, without whom this mod wouldn't have come to fruition.
-Crisp, whose Foundry toolkit Blender plugin allows for custom assets to be imported into the Halo editing kit. I cannot imagine how difficult this process would be without his work.
-Zeddikins, the architect of Assembly, who provided a modding toolset in a time when official tools were a distant dream.
-RejectedShotgun and GreenKnight, whose work inspired me to pick up Halo modding in the first place, and were invaluably patient and helpful as I found my footing.
-Abyssquick, PepperMan, Alexis, Krevil and undoubtedly others over the years whose miscellaneous help has been invaluable.


Ship Models
The heart and soul of this mod is, of course, the warships of the Halo universe. Some of these models have been created by myself, and some have been graciously provided by talented members of the Halo community.

UNSC
-The Paris-class and Halcyon-class are original Halo: Reach assets, created by the artists at Bungie.
-The Halberd, Point Blank, Marathon and Valiant-classes were created by Jared Harris.

-The Eion-class was created by Jacob Stokes
https://www.artstation.com/stokesjd/albums/8117392

Both of these are lead developers for the awesome Sins of the Prophets, a Halo universe total conversion mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion. Check it out here! https://www.moddb.com/mods/halo-sins-of-the-prophets

Covenant
-The SDV-class is an original Halo: Reach asset, created by the artists at Bungie.
-The ADR, DCV and both CCS-classes were created by myself (The CCS-classes used existing Bungie assets as reference).
