I've done what the post says (for hogwars) but I get A 303 mb large bloodgulch map file dat gives me BSOD (I'm not used to them since I have win2k) and the faq's, tutorials or readme files doesn't help me.

THNX to anyone that can help me (I'd love to play the library level but I can't :( )

ok ik heb heel veel hulp nodig bij het maken van hogwars ik krijg een 303 mb grote file maar dat klopt volgens mij niet, ik heb alles gedaan wat er stond maar het werkt niet ik krijg steeds blauwe schermen des doods die ben ik niet meer gewent sinds ik windows 2000 heb.
Kan iemand me a.u.b. helpen. :shock:

Is this better then ???? :lol:

I got the library working last night (have to find the nuke before I know for sure but I think it's ok), but I still can't get hogwars to work I get a 303 mb large file that doesn't work (the library is much bigger en is only 27 mb) could someone maybe tell me what I'm doing wrong I used the ppf-o-matic and the halo hacking tool.


I know my english isn't that good but you can read what it says in my last post can't you ???? :cry:

Ok, I'm trying to put together some Mod patches of my own (For PC), but I'm having some troubles. The halomods.com/downloads page seems to be offline/nonexistant. Now, I need the one tool to make PPF patches, as I'm not going to be going around distributing full maps now... Is there anyone who could possibly send this program to me? :D Thanks a lot! :D

u use ppf omatic for only ppfs, for maps u just replace the original maps with them, and u use ppfs one at a time, do one ppf first then the other.
