How?

Post by shorty@@ »

How do I get ."RAR" files to work? Or ".map" files? And, how can I edit maps and stuff like that?

.rar you will need WinRar. Google it, ya lazy bum. Map files can be opened in halo, with HHT, HMT, or Sparkedit. All of these can be downloaded at the utilities forum in the files forum.

if you edited a single player map:

Code: Select all

Load up Halo
Go to Campaign
select the level you edited
laugh at the covenants futile attempts to kill you, as you put thousands of shotguns at the start, didnt you
If you edited a multi player map:

Code: Select all

Load up Halo
Go to Multiplayer
select the map you edited
i reccomend creat a LAN game to test
edit if it didnt work
re test
re edit
re test
go out on a killing spree on internet, or even a local LAN game

Umm, I was asking HOW you edit a map, and I was also asking how you OPEN ".map" files. I don't have Spark Edit, HHT, or HMT. I'm also like an ubernoob at this stuff.

No, seriously though. I've tried the search thing in files forum, and I've searched manually. No go.

Spark edit comes with tutorials... you should also check search around for tutorial on it too, I haven't used it in depth, because I stick to Halo CE rather than PC...

try this:

http://www.halomods.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=13811

explains how to use halo Map Tools Version 3.5

you will also need Halo Hacker Tools (but not until you become more advanced)

Moderators, this should probably go in Halo PC Modding general.
