OpenSauce

This page is incomplete! You can contribute information using 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.

OS_Guerilla

OS_Sapien

Note that OpenSauce uses the filename initc.txt for init scripts instead.
