HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

look, heres the thing, I don't know how to do shit as far as modding goes but I do have an idea for those bored modders out there.First convert halo2's Terminal,Co-ag,Relic,Turf,Zanzibar,Headlong and Foundation to Haloce next connect them all via the train from Terminal.Meaning somwere in those levles have a train track.Then have the train slow to a stop making it possible to grt on next judging by what car you got on you would go to that map.Well what do you guys think

*cough* impossible *cough*

No saying impossible is just another way of saying you don't know how or by saying you don't want to try.

Okay, if you want to try to find another way, be my guest. But I will stay it's impossible.

why is this so impossible? I see zanzibar on CE so why can't they do it with others?

That's not the impossible part. The impossible part is where you have a train that takes you to the different maps.

I know that would be hard but couldn't you make a copy of terminal then re-do the train so that each car is esencialy like a teliporter.like when yopu step into the dark train it acts like a teliporter and takes you to that levle corresponding to that train.The train's skin could be modded so that the sides of the cars say the name of the map on it.

You mean like take all those maps and make them all into one big map, instead of a separate map file for each?

That would make the map too big, and I doubt Halo CE would be able to handle it. You know, it has limits...

Ya i know but... ya thats what I was talking about.I'm sure it's possible

Don't argue with a modder if you're not one. But it is impossible. The h2 CE maps are moe made redos, so basicly nothing is ripped from the halo 2 disc You also cannot just take a halo 2 map and convert it to CE. Basiclly thats a rediculous goal.

I know i was just saying to make the maps on ce

I'm also sure its impossible. But just becuase nothing is impossible I'll say that its a feat that bungie could not pull off, given that they do not modify their engine to do it.

Well, You could try to make seriously condensed versions of each map, maybe lets say, 1/4th the size of Zanzibar, and even smaller fractions from maps the size of Mombasa, Its not really logical.

well what if it was fewer maps connected via train making less memory take up?

its not less maps, its the size of the map. Its just not logical.

You'll have fractions of maps, all connected. Have as much as you need, but its just not possible to have good sized maps connected by a train. if you want a lot of maps, connected, the size of the map will have to be a lot smaller to keep the file's size in check.

I see so it's just to big.hmm.theres got to be a way

You might be able to do this with one or two maps, but not as many as you're suggesting.

All of the Halo 2 multiplayer maps are being made into Custom Edition by L33T and Phenomena at the moment. While this is an awesome idea, and I suppose it might be possible, linking so many maps together would just make it so huge that it would lag too much.

Hmm..not sure why i didn't think of that
Well This seems like a good project if it's possible.Also I may not mod but I'v been studing modding for about 2 years now so I now a few things but I'm sure thers a way around it, I mean they made Halo1 online and at one point that was thought to be impossible so ya never know what might happen.
