: OH NOEZ, HE'S LOOKING AT THE GAME CODE AGAIN! HE'S HERE TO SPOIL OUR : SPOILZ!!!1 Relax, I'm just making a CORRECTION to an egg ALREADY found: : http://www.halopedian.com/Halo_2_Skulls#Artificial_Skull . And actually, : this time it is the game code, not the game scripts. Now that we've got : that out of the way... : While I was working on some stuff, I found myself in the code which deals : with the "Artificial" skull (which is named "That's : Just...Wrong" in the game data). I noticed that all it really does is : override the sound volume (to be "loud", the second loudest : sound volume an object can produce) of all target objects : ("props") an AI can consider. : So for example, the player's biped definition has a sound volume of : "silent". Well, in the AI logic of the engine, this TJW skull : will cause the player biped to always be perceived as making loud noises : . The same goes for any other biped\vehicle (eg, the Ghost has a : "medium" sound volume but with this it would now be perceived as : a "loud" sound). : I'm not sure who deduced (or how) all the other information (this skull : wouldn't cause them to have better aim) that's on the wiki article, but : that's the only game logic tweaking that it does; forcing all AI target : perception to be seen as loud objects. I just thought I'd drop this nugget : of information in case any of the halopedian editors wanted to update the : entry (and have citation). Crude but effective. :) Errrrr, I mean... YOU RUINED HALO TWO FOR ME RAAAAEEG
