Firstly i dont know a ton about modding h2 yet but i have a pretty good knowledge of it so youll have to trust me on this, firstly you can load halo2 on your standard HD you dont need to upgrade it, but youll have to get rid of a lot of stuff and you cant have the whole game on there just most of it, or you could make it just the multiplayer (which is what i do) my box has just the multiplayer maps on it plus a bunch of maps ive added,as well as the new xbl downloadable maps. Also you can ftp straight from the disk but not to the disk. So firstly if you want to make a multiplayer only version of h2 on your hd just make a folder in your xbox's E: drive called games. in the games folder make 3 folders, media, maps, and bink. dont put anything in the bink forlder. Load your h2 disk and go to the filemanager in your modded dash copy all the multiplayer maps from the disk (D:halo2/maps) just copy all of the ones you know (ascension, lockout, etc) ohh and cyclotron is ivory tower, its just named different on the game, just like relic is dune, and all the single player levels are named differently. As i said before dont add anything into bink, and add the everything from media into the new media folder. thats it. that should work, if it doesnt, then you can just copy the whole h2 cd (without the single player maps) and it should work but itll take more space due to the movies. To edit halo2 get a program such as Dothalo, or insolence (those are my 2 favorite) then open them, go to say [proj] click on the plasma grenade tag, find the meta offset(this is for dothalo) copy it, go the smg tag and paste the meta offset in its place. Then click save changes, fix encryption, and ftp the map to your xbox and overwrite the old one, and you should have a smg that shoots plasma grenades, youll really have to find the rest out by yourself,except for the real hard stuff which you just need to search google for. If you still have questions aim me emericanerorism, or go to www.cl4imer.com sign up and ask there we check that a lot i wont be checking this forum again.
whenever i open encryptomatic signature it says the aplication failed to instalize properly, what does that mean?
how do you load h2 then go to the file maneger in your modded dash? do you just put h2 in ther open the drive?
What program do I need to use to edit the new Halo 2 maps. I used Ch2r on the original maps and it worked fine, but any of the new maps I edit with Ch2r do not work like the old ones did. Please help. Thanks
when ever i mod a map for halo 2 then ftp it into the maps folder and replace the old map i keep loosing memory off the e drive am i doing sumthing wrong?
Using dothalo or ch2r I have patched the turf map (as well as any of the other new maps) and put it back under the Tdata location but when I try to load the map that I modded it tells me I failed to load the map. Is there a special way to transfer the maps back to your box or do I need to do anything with the patch.lvl or the patch_v3.lvl. I am putting the modded map in /E:/TDATA/4d530064/$C/4d53006400000002/ and overwritting the orig map that was in there. Plz help
excuse me bothering your post but i was wondering if you could tell me the exact folder to put my modded maps ? i have a red relic map ... i can FTP to my xbox so i have C E I X Y Z but i dont know where to put them
zeggy you might need to DL encryptomatic from http://tf6.epgservers.net/encryptomatic.php Since i'm to lazy to write it myself, heres the description from the fantastic 6's website "While it is our policy not to release our tools for the publics use, we are making one concession. Every map in Halo 2 has an Encryptomatic Signature, which prevents modifications to be made. Since even the simplest of changes cannot be done without correcting the Encryptomatic Signature, we have decided this was too important an ability to keep to ourselves. The Fantastic 6's very own Iron_Forge has determined the algorithm used to calculate the Encryptomatic Signature, and passed this information on to the legend MonoxideC. With this, he has created a Fantastic tool which can apply the correct Encryptomatic Signature to a map that has been modified, allowing Halo 2 to load the map without giving a dirty disk error."
alright here is where the new maps are located on your xbox. First you must FTP to your box then once logged on go to E/Tdata/4d530064/ then 0001 00002 0003 are the loctaions of the new maps make sure to keep everything about them the smae when u take them out an put them back in. Do not chnage the name and make sure to fix the encryption on it after u edit them before putting it back on!!! ooh and by the way triplicate.map is terminal deltatap.map is sanctuary and dune.map is relic!!!! And you must edit them using either a hex editor or a H2 edito such as dothalo which can be downloaded form here: http://www.halomaps.com Click on xbox programs then dothalo. It is in a .rar format so u must have winrar to open it. Winrar can be downlaoded for free here: http://www.download.com/WinRAR/3000-2250_4-10427683.html?tag=lst-0-1 Good luck!
