HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Hey guys, been a while since I have posted, just had a few questions about the shared.map

I am a fairly newbie modder, but I have modded a couple of my maps how I like them. I have changed the graphics of certain guns and their projectiles. I have also changed some of the sound effects like rather than hearing 5 minutes remaining, you could here un-freakin believable. I know its not ground breaking stuff but I am still learning.

Anyways, if I made these changes to the shared.map rather than each individual map, would all of the maps have these changes?

If not, could you please explain why you would want to mod the shared.map, other than for skinning?


Thanks in advanced

In most mods they internalize the bitmaps so they dont affect other maps skins. In makin mods I only use the shared map to be able to internalize.
