Halo Map Tools is a Windows software that allows you to edit Halo Combat Evolved maps meta tags. It can only edit non-custom edition maps, so basically the Campaign and Standard Multiplayer maps, and can edit maps from the XBox too.
Meta Tags
Meta tags are little shortcut names (like TinyURLs) that link to a specific weapon, vehicle, projectile, biped, actor, etc. One of the main aspects of modding Halo maps is swapping or duplicating meta tags. A few examples are:
- Replacing the assault rifle\bullet tag with the rocket launcher\rocket meta tag, so when you shoot the assault rifle, you will have rapid fire rockets coming out of the assault rifle.
- Replacing all the elite actor variant tags with Elite Commander Energy Sword tags - this will replace all elites with Elite Commanders with Energy swords.
