Hey guys, Im new to the whole modding thing and Im wanting to start modding, I was wondering what programs I should be using and that sort of thing. I want to start modding for Halo PC Trial and then I want to head towards the full version as I am planning to get it. Thanks for the help in advance!

Head over to the Utilities section and get yourself a copy of HMT and/or HHT, two very nice Halo PC modding apps.

You may also want to get something to make patch files with.

Once you've got that, Tutorials section is your friend.

Thanks alot, would you happen to know what I'd use for modeling? I tried using Sparkedit but when I go to open the map it doesn't appear. Would this be because it is a trial map?

Yes, apply this patch to the map then it should work in Sparkedit.

Thanks alot, that was just what I was looking for. I have only 1 more question, I was trying to duplicate vehicles by simply duplicating them but when i go to play the mod they aren't there. Is there anything I need to do to make the duplicated vehicles appear? Im modding the trial version for now but in SparkEdit it shows all the vehicles on bloodgultch but when you play it they dont appear because its only trial. Can I fix that, and if so, how? Thanks in advance
