bHaptics Haptic Feedback for Halo Campaign Evolved

bHaptics Haptic Feedback - Halo: Campaign Evolved

Feel the Master Chief's armour respond. This mod maps 25 in-game events to your bHaptics vest:  every shot's recoil, rounds splashing off your shields, the moment your shields break, the slow pulse of a recharge, and a heartbeat when your health runs low.

Arm devices are used for the fast, frequent actions (firing, melee) if you own them; everything important is on the vest.

This mod requires a bHaptics device and the bHaptics Player app. It does nothing without them.

New in 0. 5. 2: fixed melee, grenade throw and the Sentinel Beam not firing at all in the packaged build - if you tried 0. 5. 0 and never felt melee, this is why.

What you'll feel

• []Weapon fire, per weapon class - rapid-fire, precision (magnum / sniper / battle rifle), shotgun class, and the continuous Sentinel Beam each feel distinct.

  Rate of fire differs by up to 9x between weapons, so one shared pattern would have made the big guns feel small.[/]

  []Reload - including shell-by-shell on the shotgun.[/]

  []Plasma charge - builds as you hold, stops at full charge.[/]

  []Melee - left and right swings, plus elbow strikes on two-handed weapons.[/]

  []Shield hit - scaled to the damage that was absorbed.[/]

  []Shield break - a sharp burst across front and back at once.[/]

  []Shield recharge - rises from your waist to your chest as it fills, stops when full.[/]

  []Damage to bare health - stronger on the front, echoed on the back.[/]

  []Low-health heartbeat - starts under 30% health, stops when you heal.[/]

  []Death, jump, landing, crouch, grenade throw (grenades on the left hand - your right hand is holding the weapon).[/]

  Adjust the intensity yourself

  Edit halo_intensity.txt in the game folder. Changes apply within about a second while the game is running - no restart needed.

  • []default = scales every event at once (0 = silent, 1 = as shipped, up to about 1. 5)[/]

    []Per-event lines (weapon_fire, melee_right, ...) are multiplied by default[/]

    []All 25 events are listed in the file with a short description and the body area they use[/]

    []Two ready-made presets ship in presets\: subtle (gentler, good for long sessions) and combat-only (movement events silenced)[/]

  If the file is missing, everything plays at 1. 0.

  Requirements

  • []UE4SS for Halo: Campaign Evolved - the game-specific community build.

    This mod does not bundle it. A stock UE4SS build does not work with this game.[/]

    []bHaptics Player (desktop app), running, with your device connected[/]

    []Halo: Campaign Evolved (Steam)[/]

    Installation

    • []Install UE4SS for this game first (see Requirements).[/]

      []Copy everything from the zip into Meteorite\Binaries\Win64\ - the folder that contains the game executable.

      The zip already mirrors that layout.[/]

      []Start bHaptics Player, connect your device, then launch the game.[/]

    To uninstall, delete the ue4ss\Mods\HaloHaptics\ folder and the four files the zip placed next to the game executable.

    Notes & Compatibility

    • []Single player, Windows only, experimental. The mod is read-only: it observes game state and plays haptics.

      It does not modify saves, stats or gameplay.[/]

      []The campaign has no anti-cheat. Using this during online co-op is not recommended.[/]

      []Detection is name-based rather than address-based, so small game patches usually do not break it.[/]

      []No haptics at all? Check that bHaptics Player is running and your device is connected,

      then open ue4ss\UE4SS.log and look for two lines starting with - one confirming the bridge loaded, one showing the queue file path.

      If they are missing, the files are probably in the wrong folder (they go next to the game exe, not in the game root).[/]

      Known limitations

      []Melee repeated on the same arm within about 2. 5 seconds is not felt. The game keeps its first-person state unchanged while the previous strike is still held, so there is no new signal for the mod to react to.

      Alternating arms works every time, and so does striking at a normal pace.[/]

      [*]A couple of events are wired
