HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

ok i have xbox live. i have never had mods on any of the new maps in tdata.

i do not want to mod on xbox live. i want to be able to load the new maps out of my maps folder (e/games/halo 2/maps) when i play of my Hard Drive and load the maps out of tdata/.......64/$c when i play with the disc.
if i do this, where the maps load out of when im on live?

That should help.

no it didnt, so i reworded it

Relook at it Tom. What you are trying to do is why I made that tutorial.
When you play the game off the HDD, the maps will load out of the E:\Games\Halo 2\maps\ directory.
If you play off the disc, then they will load out of the E:\TDATA\4d530064\$C\ directory.
The reason that's throwing you off, is the AU. The AU will determine if you can load maps out of the E:\Games\Halo 2\maps\ directory while you play off the HDD, or load out of the E:\TDATA\4d530064\$C\ directory when you play off the disc.
Lets talk on AIM.

i think i get it.
the AU makes it so that you can't play the new maps out of the maps folder?

i dont want to have to change any files when switching from live to playing modded new maps

Then get two xbox's, or rename the files each time.

ok i get it now. thanks guys

BTW, is it possible to have two copies of halo 2 on the same HDD. i want to be able to play more than one version of each map without ftping

Yeah, infact me and Ketchup played some H2:CE the other day, just copy your H2 directory and run the other default.xbe

ok, thanks for all your help

and will it slow my box down if i have a full HDD?
