Swap Weapons with Johnson (AKA Stanchion)

Description

Created to provide a stable, fully functional Stanchion Rifle experience that works seamlessly with the latest update. If you've run into level crashes, missing textures, or invisible rifles with other/older mods, this version fixes those issues.

It comes in two variants depending on how you prefer to acquire the weapon, and includes source files for any modders looking to tweak it further.

• []Swap-n-Pickup: Enables weapon swapping on Johnson so you can trade weapons directly, or pick it up if dropped.[/]

  []Pickup-Only: Grants the ability to pick up and use the Stanchion from the ground (I won't tell anyone HOW it got there... could have been the Covies or a few off target shots lol).[/]

  Main features

  • []Latest Update Compatibility: Rebuilt specifically to prevent crashes, invisible weapons, and load failures on the current patch.[/]

    []Two Modular Variants: Choose between active swapping with Johnson or standalone ground pickups.[/]

    []Open Source (.baboon included): Includes raw

    .baboonfiles in each folder so you can open, edit, or build on this project yourself.[/]

    []Vanilla Balance: Zero modifications to how the weapon operates -effectively a reskinned Sniper Rifle (perfect for a clean vanilla playstyle).[/]

    Requirements

    • []Halo: Campaign Evolved (Compatible with both Steam and Xbox PC versions)[/]

      []No additional mods or third-party tools required.[/]

      Installation instructions

      • []Close the game if it is currently running.[/]

        []Choose ONE version to install

        Pickup-Onlyor

        Swap-n-Pickup[/]

        []Copy the three mod files

        .pak,

        .ucas, and

        .utocfrom your chosen folder.[/]

        []Paste the files into your game's

        ~modsdirectory:

        []Location:

        ...\Halo Campaign Evolved\Meteorite\Content\Paks\~mods(Create the ~mods folder if it doesn't exist)

        [/]

      [/]

      []Launch the game and enjoy![/]

      Note: The .baboon files are optional and only needed if you plan to edit the mod yourself. Do not place it in the game directory.
      Note: I personally have issues with Vortex Mod Manager deploying modes on my behalf to the ~mods folder. It seems the game doesn't like symbolic links (.symlink). I recommend not letting the Manager deploy the files to the ~mods folder and just copy/paste them directly there. 😎
