OpenSauce
This page needs help! Please submit any missing information via GitHub issues or pull requests.
OpenSauce (often just "OS") is a mod for Halo Custom Edition and its editing kit. It enhances the in-game experience with customization and engine extensions, but also offers modified versions of the HEK tools for more extensive modding of the game. It is mostly used as the base for experimental maps and singleplayer overhaul mods like CMT's SPV3.
OpenSauce is incompatible with Chimera. Attempting to use both at the same time will result in crashes or a white screen when launching the game.
