[New feature] Create a complete, "libre" tagset
Currently, building maps requires that you either...
- use existing content, almost always owned by Microsoft or Gearbox, or
- make every tag yourself
The Halo Editing Kit comes with its own tagset. This tagset is a base set of tags that is commonly present in the game's included multiplayer maps and is enough to build one map: tutorial.map.
Ideally, we should have a tagset that people can use to create their own playable maps without requiring it to be attached to the Halo IP. Something like this should include:
- ui, singleplayer, and multiplayer menu tags
- a complete multiplayer globals tag
- a complete sandbox with weapons, vehicles, and equipment
- a few skyboxes for people to choose from
- some scenery for people to choose from
- a simple level that is playable on all gametypes
This requires literally everything tool-related to be finished first, but doing this will be useful.
In regards to installing, this should be optional.
