HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

What a surprise huh?

Anyway.. I was just doing some simple tag editing.. auto shotgun, dual weildable, etc..

(I haven't saved Halo 2 to my harddrive, however, I've succesfully played patched warlock's, so I'm guessing it doesn't matter since these maps are always loaded from the harddrive).

This was on Turf:

I ftped the map from tdata to my harddrive, opened in dothalo, edited my tags, clicked save changes in the tag window. Then clicked fix encryption, then closed the map. I then resigned it w/ the TF6 tool, and ftped it back to my xbox. I changed the original file to $turf.map so it wouldn't be loaded, leaving the modded one turf.map; both in the original folder.

I loaded anotehr multi map, one off the disc and another off the harddrive; then went to load my modded map and it says, "failed to load map."

I also tried the same process, but skipping the "fix the encryption" step in dothalo (I thought this might be the same as the resign tool.

Any thoughts?

Does it hurt if you use the resign tool more than once?

Use Encryptomatic Signature to fix encryption. However, you need a special resigner to resign things that are in the TDATA folder. I'm not going to tell you how or where to get it, though.

For new maps you need to use a resigner. You can get one in the files forum.

For new Maps you need to Resign them with CMR.

Cocofang, be quiet. There is only one use for that resigner; cheating.

No there isn't... What if he has a stock hdd and doesn't know how to edit mainmenu.map to make a new terf show up.

Ok, I have a retail HDD..

I could apply a ppf for warlock.. would it be any different than Turf? Or is it because I used dothalo?

So what you're telling me is to edit the map, save changes, fix encryption all in dothalo.. then close it, resign it with a different resigner than I have, and it should work?

What about when I get them all copied to my HDD?

We're saying if you want to run it out of the tdata folder with out halo actually on your hdd you have to use a special signer. But yes, what you said was correct.

Got it.. CMR worked for me...

Now, lets say I get it copied to my HDD..

I assume I'll have to edit that mainmenu.map, but then will my TF6 resigner work for all the maps?

Yes, because if you add them to your main menu you don't need the original sig of the map.
