Thanks! There's more Sentinel forms in the books & Halo Wars, besides the Onyx version found on the Forerunner shield world.

The tag pack above also works with fresh installs of Halo Custom Edition, no previous tag sets needed. Self-contained and well-tested.

I created 95% of the DBZ set, turned Tachikomas into bipeds, upgraded the Plasma Duals, fixed a lot of the Sonic Team tags and cleaned up all other assets from the community, who are also credited in the pack. Will be great for Machinima wars & more.

So those energy weapons, those can be charged up to deliver a more powerful attack, right?

I was confused at first because I remembered them as vehicles
Very cool work!


Thanks Spartan314! It took quite a bit of tweaking but I find them more fun as bipeds and spawning in as a mini-tank. Try turning on the check "can climb any surface" and you'll see why, as you high jump across the map firing time-bombs.

Thanks @Tachikoma. In Tiamat's original "Hugeass" map, they are actually vehicles! Both the Kagotank and Tachikoma were fun to jump around the map in----but the on-board cloak and weapons needed some work.

I've converted them both to Bipeds: making the cloak easily usable by flashlight, crafted both bullet and plasma weapons geared to its dual arm setup and updated the gbx so you can access each color variant instead of just blue Komas.

Much bigger upgrade here than the versions in my Chronopolis Tachikoma map release.

This was a good idea. I didn't even know we had Onyx Sentinels.


Onyx Sentinels are canon and were encountered on the Onyx Shield World. They are far more deadly than an average sentinel, holding a power charge-beam in same vein as hunters.
http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Onyx_Sentinel
http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Z-1500_Automated_Systems_Drone


For Halo CE, they come from SOI's Campaign SPV2 series, which has over 12,000 downloads and was very popular upon release. It's worth a playthrough: https://haloce3.com/downloads/singleplayer/original-singleplayer/soi_sp_v2/

I like colors on the gold sentinel, looks rad. I re-skinned the default ones a while back to be like that.


Jade, yours is already included. I've updated the credits. The new green beam and green lights was a good choice. Reminds me of Broly's color scheme.

How did you manage the animations for the bipeds?


The Sonic Mapping Team created the animations & models. I've updated the .animations tags to be vehicle-compatible.

Included are a variety of chaos weapons intended for them since they all don't have proper animations for every single original halo weapon.

Feel free to lurk away, SonicXtr3me. If there are any assets you want to add in, let me know.
I remember there was a pink Amy and a few unreleased Robotnic mechs you all also created.

Interesting collection of assets, lots of modifications made by the looks of it, as most of these assets did not work.


Thanks SonicXtr3me, it was worth the time, to help push creativity the CE community. Only wish I could get your Sonic Master Chief as a Biped!
Perhaps you'll return to map/asset-making in the future now that there's a polished sorted set to build on.

Halo CE General Discussion » [Upload Issue] - SUBMIT FILES function not working - Server error Dec 1, 2018 12:23 AM (Total replies: 12)

Was there ever an reason announced? Server costs? Legal proceedings? Technical issues?

I assumed the community just slowed down production naturally over time.

Halo CE General Discussion » [Upload Issue] - SUBMIT FILES function not working - Server error Nov 30, 2018 11:45 PM (Total replies: 12)

Submitting files to the site is no longer working. Has it intentionally been disabled? @Dennis

SUBMIT FILES PAGE: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=60

I'm uploading a .zip, only 20MB in size. Using the inspector, the page gives the following error: "failed to load resource server responded with a status of 500".

After pressing "Start Upload", the process begins; the 0% begins to increase. After a few seconds, the % number is replaced by a yellow triangle, then a pop-up error occurs.

There's no announcement section I have seen indicating Upload are cut off, though it does look like most uploads stopped significantly after 2016.

Are any of you also facing this problem with the upload feature?
