@Kyle Yes. Future maps include Forge World, Countdown, Sword Base, Anchor 9, Reflection, and possibly Boneyard, Breakneck and Breakpoint.

Beyond that nobody should hold out for any other maps as I'm getting quite burnt out on these porting projects.

Will Sword Base be ported to this mod at some point?

@AyoItzSlayer This website is a good place to start: https://c20.reclaimers.net/h2/guides/map-making/level-creation/

There isn't really a lot of documentation for H2A/H4/Reach yet. But the same basic principles apply, and you will be using this tool for those engines: https://github.com/ILoveAGoodCrisp/Foundry

Yo do you have any good tutorials you used to help you port the maps over? Been looking to try and port some maps into H2 & H2A but i'm kinda at a loss on where to start.

I do a lot of moddong with assembly I just add seats through the scripts on there. Getting inside the forge ball and giving it a Sentinel beam. Or the Sentinel equipment you can put a seat in it and drive it around also very fun. I gave mine banshee 2 physics. Works with xbox players they can't get in it but can see you driving around

@Unholy Maniac Yeah the whole Forge World palette plus the CE Anniversary/DLC items and whatever will fit from Halo 3 will be included in the palettes. Reach vehicles including the Falcon and Sabre will also be in. I'll definitely consider biped driving too

Just to temper expectations there is no AI planned for the initial launch of Forge World. Not that it won't happen eventually, it's just not a planned feature at first.

Should add vehicle seats for bipeds you can spawn in forge (not AI) makes for fun customs i do it on halo 3 a lot. Driving the Sentinel around is fun

If you do. Should add the whole forge pallet from all halo 3 and halo reach levels into one. I know the item limit but having the options alonw would be nice.

@Unholy Maniac no. I'm considering it for the Forge World update though

are the sandboxes ported as well for forge?

New update reducing the bloom on Tempest and other small fixes

Basically just made the map more like Halo 2. Closed off the back closet doors and replaced the back base lifts with 2-way teles. It did keep the mid caves open which I do agree was a nice addition to the map. I believe Countdown's only geo change was adding those little lips to the back base Health Pack plats so you can jump to them from the back staircases. Zealot closed off all the lifts and put a 1-way tele from the bottom of gold lift to the 2nd level.

@HeX Reapers I wasn't planning on any variants as I don't believe I can upload forge variants in the mod itself, but I'd be open to it and posting a file somewhere. I'm familiar with Zealot's changes, which ones did Canyon have? And yes Countdown is in progress, about to hit the polish stage.

@MilesTailsprower06 You won't have to wonder for much longer...

@TonyTheDudeTV No plans to do any more Halo 2 ports. I have Backwash and Gemini close to done but I believe another modder (Pepper) is working on bringing the entirety of Halo 2 into Halo 3 so I felt it was unnecessary to continue.

Any plans for hardcore variants of Canyon and Zealot at some point for more sweaty matches? Both maps had some pretty needed changes to be played competitively. Having comp versions of both maps (and hopefully Countdown at some point) would bolster H3's sweaty map pool a ton.

nice

Amazing mod great work! Would love to see some halo 2 maps to halo 3 in the future!

i wonder what forge world would look like in halo 3

Awesome to finally see Tempest in Halo 3 now after it was cut from the OG's map packs back in the day, feels like a nice full circle moment!

hell yeah!

@DunkODST yeah it has been a huge amount of work. Been working on this whole project for over 2 years now. I still have tons of other maps in various stages of finish

@Rusted October it was relatively simple, the main problem is halo 3 lacks certain features that physics volumes have in Reach so it doesn't work 100% as it should. For example, the player will bounce around if they walk around up there. I've got some ideas I'll try out to get it closer to Reach though

@AkJackHd tags will be available when the project is "finished". it'll be a while. probably gonna be releasing the vehicle tags soon though, been holding on to those for years and need to get around to adding the last bit of polish

well done this must have been hard to do

will the tags be public for modders at some point?

Awesome stuff! How simple was getting the zero-g area on Zealot to work?

I am in a discord for Halo CE Custom games. But does anyone know of discord groups to join that have Halo 2 / Halo 3 Custom game nights? I want to play these maps with people! Along with all of the other workshop maps for Halo 2 and 3

Glad you like it! Yeah I'll tone down the bloom on Tempest in the future

I love this. All the changes make them feel like they are a missing map pack for the original game. Though,Tempest feels like the bloom is way too strong compared to base Halo 3 maps. Almost looks like the ground is glowing.

Please report any issues to the bug reports thread.

Currently Ridgeline's forge is bugged and you cannot place any objects.
