HALO 2 MODDING tutorial - NO EMAIL addresses or instant banning

oh sorry due, wrong person i thoguht you were the moron.

oh well, my bad.

 

Will an xbox 360 play ripped dvds, if so why cant you just extract the map and then put it on a dvd and play the mods that way?

 

Because that way you could mod the original xbox just as easily....

 

okies.

btw guys, before you think of it, when the new Halo 2 maps come out, you can't "borrow" them off a friends xbox.

You need your own copy of the maps, it's the way they are implemented into the menu that's hard to trick.

that's what the recent 1.5 update was for.

well, at least now anyway.

 

Ok i have a new map pack and that converted all my old and new maps to new ones and then i put the originals of those maps back on so the question that i am trying to get out is how do i put the maps on the map list in may halo 2? meaning when you load up halo 2 then you go to chose a map that list.

hope some one has an answer.

 

Sorry, I didn't really understand what you meant...

can you re-phrase it please so I may attempt to answer your question.

 

ok when you load up halo 2 and go to system link then you go to choose map that list how do i edit it so i can put maps in it.
i have a new map pack and it replaced the old maps and so i want to add in the old and new maps in the list.

 

I guess that is the blastacular pack?

it replaced old ones? I dunno why it did that, but if it is a custom map pack, it is desgined to replace certain ones, to get your originals back, you have to either rename the new ones to something random, so they are not listed, and the origianl ones to there original names again.

custom maps for halo 2 are designed to replace another map, so you would have to get the original map by redownloading or getting it off the internet and ftp'ing back to your maps folder.

 

ok first i never knew that thay launched that map pack and second that is retarded i have a difrent map pack. i have the origenal and moded maps on the xbox so i can play lockout and also play the map called deap blue sea and thay took lockout and turned it into deap blue sea and i can still play both of them but i would have to have some one start lockout for me because i dont have the map in the list in halo 2. sooo there is know way i can edit the list so i can have both on the list at the same time?????

 

I think so...

well, actually, I have no idea

hopefully the more experienced modders will help,

so, you have a modded lockout, deep blue sea, you also have the original in the same folder, both maps with the same name?

and on your list, lockout is your deep blue sea mod.

I am guessing there will be a way, try googling.

 

ok but i have 1 moded Lockout and 1 deap blue sea, thay are seperet maps but deap blue sea is made from lock out.

i just want both of the maps on the list in halo 2.
if any one can help me???

 

It sounds like you are trying to duplicate a map and have it appear on the list twice (but with different mods). To do this you need to modify the mainmenu.map file in dothalo. This tutorial will tell you how to do it. If you need a more simple explanation just let me know!

Hope this helps!

 

thanks that should work out fine.

last question do you know how to put symbols in a players name like have an assult bomb in the name of a player?

i tryed a program called sav3r and when i tryed to open it said i was missing a couple of files and i tryed to download it from several websits and i looked for tutorials and it said to use that and i cant get it to work.

 

whats a pff patch?

 

It's ppf not pff. They are pre-made mods that you can apply to your maps.

 

K, I have a question for which I'm sure somebody knows the answer. (Forgive me for not finding it already, but I've been searching for an hour with no results.)

So I've downloaded Killotrocity Map Packs V1 and V2. Is there a way to combine these so that I have all of their maps selectable on the same menu? (If so, how is it done?)

 

Look back I couple of posts, I think it is answered.

Also, this is a simple one (I think)

Flying warthog turrets?

Yeah, I followed the tutorial on serveral websites, all the same, they say Copy the Meta offset of banshee into the guass or chaingun, so I did it with gauss, you then change the hlmt to gauss, instead of banshee.

I did so.
But, when I go on my coag map and go oveer to where the banshee spawns, yes, there is a turret there. but, I can't get in it

If I spawn one with the plasma pistol, and it's upside down, I can flip ot over. (it says flip over banshee) but still, I can't get inside it.

Anyone know the solution?

thanks

 

t1op, I think this is what you are looking for

 

i had that problem but that tutorial fixed it.

I have killtrocity map pack v2 where did you get v1???
