I stumbled on this site last night. It says a lot about being open source, and if u can change this program (even to make money) u r welcome to do so. It has a 3d engine of sorts and i can imagine there would maybe be a possibillity of making some sort of a terrain making tool. Im not a computer tech or smart enough with programing to do this ( dont even know if it is possible) my programing skills lay in a grave with the Commodore/Amstrad 64 and the zx Spectrum 128 rofl, please comment if u know what these were (sure Dennis will)
So anyway its like Google Earth but it seems better and its totally open source im sure, so enjoy.

1 how the hell is this wrong topic (if it would have been possible)
2 the whole point was for some1 to change the programming
3 the textures would not be a part of it (thaught that would be obvious)
also i was just saying so w/e
still better than Google Earth

ok then if it would be possible (if u were a good enough programmer) u could use this as a basis for a 3d modeling program for making HALO CE maps. Thats why i posted here. And if u say thats not possible then u just are not a good enough programer. Also there could be lots other uses for this prog if u have an imagination and skills. U could even make a bunch$$$$$

You cant make money from a Halo related material without Bungies approval, or from what I have recently heard Microsofts approval.

u r not listening or even reading the topics in the link.
the program is totally open source. soo if u wanted to change it in someway that would make pple buy it then u will make $$$. Making a 3d modeling prog would be the relation to halo not the $$$

as i said 1st off im not a programer so i dont KNOW its possible but it (in my opinion) would be a really good start for a modeling prog, and if u r a good programer then almost anything is possible.
it was just an idea for the skilled amongst us.
Also ur posts did not help these forums at all. go HELP some1.

Well I guess you could make it, I hope its free so I could get it.

it is a little far feched to think that it could be a 3d modeling prig i think but it could be of use for some1 and it is kinda cool.

no1 on the Commodore 64?
