[Map] War Gulch V0.1

Well, I guess the other one was removed because I forgot to put a prefix... So anyway:

Here it is again. My first released Halo 2 mod It is a war between the Covenant and Humans in everyone's favorite gulch(Coagulation; Used gulch because Waragulation just doesn't sound right to me). It features:

- Changed sky with Covenant Capital Ship hovering over the level.

- Random rockets that fall from explosions in the sky, impact and explode and then spawn grenades.

- Two Covenant Watch Towers near the teleporter destinations.

- Slightly changed lightmap(You may or may not notice it)

- Airstrike launcher(Don't fire it indoors!)

- A Longsword that flies by every once in a while.

And, it is a full map file. I tried to do a Serenity patch but it didn't work.

Also, it is the first release so it can be added to. Suggestions welcome for things to be added.

Also, can anyone take pics because I can't. Thanks.

Here it is:

Enjoy!

Full map files are not allowed. You will need a ppf or a serenity patch withing 24 hours.

Full maps are allowed as long as they are not uploaded to the Halomods server and/or are maps made from the DLC content maps(IE Truf, Sanctuary, Relic etc...)

Edit- Shuts up...lol

But seriously, I have put full maps here before(well, it was like a year ago....) and they didn't care.

Hmmmm, well, I can't really make a Serenity patch, and because of all the raw data added a PPF won't work....so all I can do is the whole map. Besides, it is Coagulation and they'd have to have Halo 2 already to use it, as opposed to the DLC maps where you have to pay extra for them.

EDIT- Crap. Halomods has gotten so strict. I remember the day we could just upload a whole map no restrictions(other than putting it on your own host for Bandwidth reasons...) Well, I'll try to make a patch then...

It is illegal to post a full map because it is copyrighted material buddy.

Yeah, well they used to let you do it all the time(in fact there are full maps in the outstanding mods section at this very moment...)

Anyway, thanks infection....which tool would that be exactly?

EDIT- Again with me asking redundant questions....lol. Thanks Tural.

Wow....how do you even use that tool...I am not sure how to fix the holes and move the data at the end-of-file to it's proper place...stupid chunk adder messing it all up :P .

Ahh...I don't think I have enough interest in the scene anymore to put up with all the restraints that are around these days. Not that I don't respect their decision....it's just that in the "old days", people were more free and it was all about forwarding the scene. Now it just isn't like that.

Oh well, I might release this if I can get a patch working for it. Thanks again for the help.

So by free you mean "allowed to do illegal things" - I see.

Well, consideriing that just by being in these forums, you have to be already doing something illegal....like modding your xbox, modifying copyrighted material etc...

And, like I said, there are still full maps up in the outstanding mods section.

pretty true. and plus. Mimesis host maps....you know.....
and spammy is correct. Only the outstanding mods get to post full maps.
Like special people..

Modding the xbox is not illegal. They dont want it done, but it isnt illegal. It is not illegal to modify a purchased product, thats like putting a bumper sticker on your car.
