Games Like Halo Wars Community Mod Tools

Halo Wars Community Mod Tools is a free toolkit built by the New Arcadia community for creating mods for Halo Wars: Definitive Edition and Halo Wars 2. It brings focused editors and utilities together in one place, helping you organize projects, create custom scenarios, inspect game content, prepare mod files, and test your work.

Cutter is the visual scenario editor for Halo Wars custom map making. Its workspace brings together a 3D viewport, scene hierarchy, property editing, asset browsing, terrain and lighting tools, and model and animation previews for creating and iterating on scenario content.

Forge is the mod project workspace. Use it to create and organize projects, manage game and content paths, launch Cutter for scenario work, validate project structure, and stage mod files for testing or sharing.

Serina is the Halo Wars: Definitive Edition mod loader and runtime patch layer. It extends the game where normal loose-file modding is not enough, with support for loose WEM and OGG audio, runtime-generated Wwise banks, source-backed loose scenarios, and detailed mod diagnostics.

Anders brings Halo Wars model creation into Blender. Import, edit, and export Halo Wars: Definitive Edition v4 and Halo Wars 2 v6 UGX models, work with meshes, skeletons, materials, textures, and UAX animations, and prepare assets for supported game workflows.

Isabel handles the data logistics behind Halo Wars 2 mod projects. Create and expand PKG archives, convert editable XML sources to and from game-ready XMB, rebuild file manifests, and process larger package collections with batch tools.
