We can't legally give you any .map file.

unless we alter some of it......even like put a dot on it..... i think
and i don't believe this is the right section for this, pm anyone for this sort of thing.
just don't ask for things we can't legally give you.

1. No, but Mac bitmaps work on a PC.
2. No, that would be illegal.
Oh, and from now on try to post your questions in modding discussion.

Basically, PC Bitmap's won't work on Mac, but Mac Bitmap's can work on PC.
Same goes for Mod's.

I don't see why that would make sense at all.

it makes pleasenty of sense.
Pc are accepting of codes and such from a wide source of things, will mac has a narrower path of things that are compatable....
or dream catchers like mouses and stuff......like in hollywood....have you seen my bloody valentine 3d?
its like the tricycle....but if is only had 2 wheels.

I understand how everyone makes their stuff compatible with Windows, but it's usually a differnt version. like macs have .app and Windows has .exe. Mac .apps don't run on Windows, but you can usually find an .exe version. Halo clearly looks in specific places in specific files to find the data it needs to run, so the mac version must be close such that the Windows version can read it, but there's some tiny different thing that means that the PC version doesn't work with macs? Is it some sorta "Apple approved" tag? I understand that this DOES happen, but I have no idea why it does or even why they would make it like that.

they do it on purpose so modding communities have trouble sharing their works with users on different operating systems.
i read that in the mac faqs page....
