i am a noob at modding. i want to learn how to do skins or move stuff around and duplicate them on maps. not real complicated stuff. just the simple skins and stuff. anyone got links to programs i need or anything. sorry if this thread has been up before which i am sure it has but i didn't see it.

for halo CE, or PC - with CE - you cant do much if your just doing basic stuff.

with pc, use sparkit (i think - its been a while) and HMT (halo map tools)

press search at the top, and you should find them

its for pc. i already have both of those. how do i use spark edit. i can't figure it out.

basically, you open any map file in the halo directory, then you can move or duplicate objects...

just go into your maps directory

eg: "C:\Program files\microsoft game\halo\maps\bloodgulch.map"

sorry for the 2 replies right in a row but is there maybe like a tutorial that someone has made that you can give me? that seems like that would be the best way to get this done. i want to be able to mod my own mods! haha.

does it normally take a really long time for the map to open? mine isn't opend yet and it has been sitting there for a long time.

is it open somewhere else? like HMT?

no. it says it is "compiling tag relationships..." do you have an aim screen name. or msn screen name? it might be easier. just a thought.
