[New feature] Create a complete, "libre" tagset

Open SnowyMouse opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

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.
