Adding Halo 2 Maps to the Mainmenu

[bold]@ modups[/bold]

Very in depth tutorial

 

Yeah I think I'll make a tut too just for the heck of it. I'll try to have lots of pics and make everything as simple as possible.

 

ya thank you that clears it up a bunch and please make that tutorial but I have one last question were can I find that dvdto xbox application

 

just search for it on google

 

http://www.mininova.org/tor/219537 just click on the thing that says dvd2xbox.torrent thing and save it..

 

hey i transfered all the crap to my xbox and when i go to my new map it shows the picture for zanzibar insted of headlong (becasuse i renamed headlong) and when i try to load it it says i failed to load the map

Failing to load the map means you need to either resign or fix the encryption of the map. In your case it's fix the encryption. Also to change the picture you need a program called something like mainmenu editor.

 

how do i fix the encription????dothalo????

ill try mm editor

 

In the map tools section of dothalo, there is a button that says fix encryption. Click it.

 

hey all, sorry to post a retard question but its just making me crazy. with the map pack expansion disc install, where does it put the new maps? ive looked everywhere but its not in any drive and not in /halo2

 

E\TDATA\4D530064\$c\ Each mappack in each folder

 

WOW thank you so much!

 

I'm here to help.

 

and also out of curiosity if you know, halo2 on the box im working on doesnt recognoise those map files, do you know why that might be or how to link them/put them in the right place other then /halo2/maps?

 

Hello, im brand new to the forum


im also relitivly new to modding


so let me start by saying

i downloaded a few .map files from halomods.com and an trying to get them onto my xbox

i followed your tutorial and everything went smooth, except resigning the maps, becuase im guessing he built the maps intead of modified existing maps?

what value should i enter so that my map will be signed and i can play it on mp not signed onto live.

also how do i edit the thumbnail that previews the map under the mainmenu.map file


thank you very mcuh!

 

hey guys i tried the tutorial, i see my map, but when i start it, the halo 2 theme song music starts playing and then it brings me back to pregame lobby. i keep on trying and does the same thing. did i do smthing wrong

 

I have the same problem.(or similar)
I put in the maps on the xbox, modded the mainmenu, and it shows up and loads fine until the game starts. Then it goes back to pregame lobby.

 

The problem you guys are having is the value you used. You just have to mess around with them until you find ones that work. Also make sure that the values you are trying aren't the same values as the original maps.

Also about editing the thumbnail, I can't seem to find the tutorial on how to do it. Just search HaloMods.com because there is one on there that is really good but you need Adobe Photoshop.

 

i had that problem and fuzz tell me if this is wrong but i think you guys need to turn off the auto update on that one thing... i cant think of the name right now but try that.

 

Hmm... I'll try again later and see if I can get some pictures or something...
