uh experiment, just take a look at tags and modify them to your liking, that program is really easy to get used too, there's not much explaining to do.

Your probably modding the new maps which you have to either resign back to tdata or you have to add to main menu but you won't have to resign..

25- Q. Adding New Maps To Main Menu?
25- A.
Synergy2069 wrote:Heres a little tutorial with a pic for ya:

1. Open up H2edit or Dothalo
2. Open up your mainmenu.map
3. Scroll down to the [matg] Global tag, and double click to open it and click on globals/globals
4. Then in the tag-editor
a) click on the "Multiplayer Maps" drop-down box and select a number (usually 12 if you havent added any maps) and if you have, then click on a number that has a -1 in the value spot and nothing else.
b) Now choose a value of any number as long as it hasn't been used. Make sure the "Next Value?" has the same number.
c) Put the name of your map in this space. You can fill out the other languages and stuff, but it's not needed.
d) The description of your map goes here.
e) Just put in the same thing I put here.
5. Once thats done, save the changes, fix the encryption, close the map, and ftp it to your xbox.

Hope that helps :)

resigning back to tdata is for cheating which is not tolerated on this forum, if you are planning to mod a new map, you must add a spot to the main menu for it.

EDIT: lol, the guy above me be me to it.
