KKlein19 (Newbie) - Okay. Making maps with dothalo is pretty hard. If you mess one thing up, it won't let you play it. You should either get someone to teach you dothalo, get mods from someone (or a website), or keep trying.

anyways- i suggest bridging to cheat on halo2. its much easier. ill help you with that if you like

 

Okay first of all u need to check that ur applied the encryption..if it doesnt say it didnt apply then try it again. Also try to use a different software then CMR. If this doesnt work for you, then im clueless as of what u have done. Also u might want to try to redo the map..maybe it can load it but it dont read the map which u transferred from the hardisk..idk..thats the best conclusion i can come up with..never have had that happen b4

 

What is the easiest program to softmod your xbox and only use the new maps on Halo 2, I don't want to mod the old maps just new ones.

 

@Hazardous--
First of all, its easier to mod the new halo maps cause they are saved on the hard drive.Old maps you cant really do anything with except for like skins and stuff to the weapons and the map itself. Im not to sure what you are really asking when you say which program is it easier to softmod the xbox with..but if u send me a PM, i will send you my tutorial (on my website) on how to mod. Its an Awesome tutorial with pics and precise directions on what to do.

 

I think the easiest program to use is CH2R (http://www.halomaps.com). Also modding new and old maps takes the same skill. The only problem is getting the old maps. To access the old maps (the ones off the disc) you first have to copy the entire Halo 2 onto your harddrive. I am pretty sure that all of the softmodded dashes come with DvD2Xbox ( a program that copies games or movies to your Xbox). I am sure there are other similar programs, but this is easy to use and fairly common. Once you have copied the game to your Xbox, you FTP and retrive the old maps. Now you can edit them like you would new maps.

After you edit the old maps and put them back onto your xbox, you can only use them if you play off your xbox harddrive. I dont think you can get on live playin off your harddrive, but you can use XBC or another software like it.

 

*Sigh* I really couldn't be bothered Softmodding using the Splinter cell games and what-not.

 

If your planning on modding any kind of maps..which most ppl are moddding new ones, then u need to copy Halo 2 to the hard drive anyway. And if you dont have a mod chip with xtra memory..ur using the softmod..then you might have a problem concering holding enough memory cause all your maps are modded. But if ur smart, then u can just mod the maps you want to play on or whatever. (Ihave a feeling some of you ppl have no idea what im talking about) (Been modding for 2 yrs)

 

Hey guys im kinda new to this ive got everything i need to mod but...

@Weazel
Hey try downloading .Net Framework...if that doesnt work then re-download DotHalo. Either way, DotHalo requires .Net Framework. Look it up on google to download it. (easy)

 

I don't know what to do i am a new modder or trying to be one on halo 2 and i don't know where to start first on what i need and how to do it and where to do it. i am lost in all that softmodding, file transfer protocol,and action replay stuff all i want to do is be a modder not all that other stuff


HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

@tdawgz
Send me a private message and ill send u my site with mods and a modding tutorial

 

ok i finally got DotHalo working thanx for the help but now...

can anyone tell me how to get the mod that makes you invisible?

thanx,

Weazel

 

@Weazel,
Do u mean invisible, or invincible (where u cant die)? If its where u cant die, then u r talking about elite mods. Meaning, if u r an elite, you cannot die even if ur not a modder. The only way u can is if u r assasinated or granaded. Anyway, u can either find a way to make your own mods or i can send u my elite mods that i have..whichever you want to do..i suggest u make ur own mods cause its funner and ppl get to see new things dealing with mods. Hope this helps..peace

 

Omg this is kinda ummm worthless

 

How so?
