HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

yeah,so,i found a tutorial on how to mod the main menu to add maps to the map selection,well,i did that fine all the maps showed up on the selection list.but when i'd test to see if it worked the original of the map would load instead of the modded one anybody know how to fix this?

ok first of all can you tell me exactly what you did or send me a link to the tut

i couldnt find the tut so heres the steps of what i did:

ok,first i opened "mainmenu.map" with dothalo
i opened the globals tag and changed the multiplayer map to #13
next i changed the value to 1000 and filled in all the name and description's.
then i closed the map and opened it with hexworkshop 4.2 to get the scenario name. i reopened the map and put in that info.i closed the map again and ftp'd "mainmenu.map" and a modded version of lockout i made(i know the map regularly works,and no,i wasnt stupid and left it named lockout)
then i went to test it.so i started halo went to split screen and set up a match.now,my map showed up on the map screen and forsum reason it showed zanzabar's (sp) preveiw image. now when i started the match and the map loaded i went to try and see if my mods worked,but it was just the unmoded lock out. and i also repeated the steps to add other different maps and they all did the same thing. they all loaded there original maps

thats exactly how i add maps and it sounds like you've done everything right but just to clarify you said you did'nt leave the map named lockout so say you changed it to moddout.map did you also change the path to |scenarios\multi\moddout\moddout|?

nope,in the tut,it said just copy the scenario part from the hex....so,i guess that's my problem then

yea, make sure you do that. And it will show a preview of zanzibar until you change the image

so does it work now?

yeah it works....and how do i change the image?

look in the bitmap classes then find a mp preview image or something like that I dont remember the name right now then just inject your own.

ok thanx
