    I was wondering is there any good Halo mods that make use of all the pixel shading and realistic lighting effects.

    I looked around on the internet but came up with crap all.

    Also is there any good tutorials on how to make hl/quake mods? Is there any good newbie software for making maps for hl/quake?

    Also can you interlace different game engines together when making mods (for instance, a mod with the halo engine and the havoc engine for ragdoll physics, aswell as the ghoul 2 engine for the gore, or just have multiple engines just for different graphical aspects of the game)?

    Thanks

    Don't know of any mods for Halo myself.

    You might want to post to Game Editing for the rest of your questions.

    Lastly I don't think you can mix and match engines for different aspects of a game without some serious programming knowledge.

    If your takign bits from multiple engines you would need enough about programming to be able to write your own basically, as you will be making a new engine more or less.

    As for MODs, there wont be many for a LONG time, 6months to a year before you get in anyway a decent looking MOD out, C&C:Generals mods are only coming out now really, BF1942 took about 10monthsb efore it saw good MODs, HL took about a year too.

    You can't mix and match engines. You can modify them but even then you don't have complete access because they don't want to give you there secrets.

    The Hl2 illegal source code is great for game makers because the havok phyics are there and the miles sound system is aswell.
