I'm far too busy being delicious!

Hey I was wondering I need help
I want to make some modded multiplayer maps and of course eventually my own custom campaign but for right now Im sticking with MP for CE

anyway I wanted to know if anyone could give me a VERY easy to follow guide for beginners, i only know how to mod whats already in the game (I changed the UI or main menure in CE and also downloaded the entire campaign in halo 3 style and it all works i also got some maps online) But anyway I want to make a map, i know i need to probobly start off basic but I really wanna make maps with AI and maps with flyable pelacans, covy dropships, and of course longswords.

First off, you can download those vehicles you're talking about here.

Second, when you say making maps, do you mean literally constructing new geometry in a 3d program, or just editing object placement on an existing bsp?

Third, multiplayer maps with AI can be played by one person (the host), but they will not work properly online. This is simply a Halo 1 issue, there is nothing practical that can be done about it. However, as I said, the host can play them just fine by setting up a LAN game by themselves.

Im talking about both, I do want to start simple, mabye make a Sidewinder or Blood Gulch with different weather/textures, and mabye with some Pelicans and some Covenant AI or something, I know I can only use them offline though, and I did mean Halo Custom Edition, wich doesnt let me access online lol, I think it happened after I changed my User Interface, which I also want to learn to make. And thanks for the vehicles, ill download those

What I really want to do though that would be even better is if I could make a Custom Campaign with like different levels and include custom cutscenes and stuff...thatd be killer, but really I want to start small. I just need a list of all the programs Id need to edit a map and then how to use them, and what id need to MAKE a map and then how to use them.

Why cant someone Mod FORGE into Halo CE? A seperate program that adds forge into it? thatd be the best lol

Adding something in like that will never work, you'd have to edit the source code, which we can't. If you want good help, go to http://www.hce.halomaps.org, and then go to the forums.

I'm sorry, I thought you already had HEK. HEK (Halo Editing Kit) is a free set of programs that are used for the development of multiplayer and singleplayer levels in Custom Edition. Here is a useful listing of tools you can use, albeit most are optional.

Making a custom campaign requires scripting, which is done in a text file and imported into sapien (the "forge" of HEK).

But if you want to start out small, download HEK and install it, and follow the built-in tutorial that comes with it.
