could someone tell me how to add a mach to the dune map.
more specificaly, the gondola from the single player lever deltatowers.
also then tell me how to place it on the map and make it have full collision
Like it was meant to be part of the relic tower and you can stand on it

Use THIS tut to add the machine to the map and THIS one to spawn it.

BTW, chances are that the gondola will turn green when added to the map.

Objects and players walking on it will still turn green...
...to truly fix the green issue, goto the [mode] tag > find the model the machine uses(usually the same name as the machine) and pull up the meta editor.

There is an unknown reflex that is located below the shader reflex. Change the values labeled in red to "0" and the green issue will be no more.

Unfortunately, the machines original shader will turn completely black and must be shader swaped and player, vehicles, and objects turn slightly darker when you go onto the machine.

well, being black won't help either! im just saying, that post was pretty pointless, it was obviously made for humor.

errrr; no it wasn't....
Why do I get the feeling H2C would inject machs properly?

well I appreciate all the help, but one question.
I followed the tut and everything looked fine, until
I resigned it and ftp'd it over to my xbox....

failed to load map

Add Relic to your mainmenu and put dune.map in the *:/Halo 2/maps folder

That or you could rename it like waterworks or sumthing and select waterworks form the map list in the pre-game menu.

well do I have to rename it?
could I just swap it with the dune already one there?
and play relic from the main menu?

Apply this patchto your mainmenu map and drop dune.map in your maps folder.

well I put the dune in the .../Halo2/maps/ folder, patched the mainmenu like you said, and I tried to play the second relic on the main menu. It did the countdown and the screen went black, then it went back to the start game screen. any suggetions?

FTP connect to your xbox and goto the following directory:
E/TDATA/4d530064/

There should be a folder named $c and another named $u
Rename these two folders.
