Custom map pack freezing?

Okay, I made a custom map pack with the 1000 limit serenity patch for mainmenu.map, patched all my maps, and took shared.map, the fonts, and the media folder from the original Halo 2 game.

They all went on my xbox harddrive. When I loaded it, I have a loading screen, once it gets to 100%, the xbox locks up. Help? :S

If you filled every 1000 map, I would think it would crash. That seems too much for a xbox to load at once. Did you put the in the format it should.

Like

Halo 2, then you have
bink (intro)
media (necessary files)
maps (font folder, maps in here)


Do you put that format? Otherwise I don't know. Seems like alot of space, do you have a 120gb or something drive? That would be mighty big

Well, I only used the 1000 map patch to bypass the limit, I think I have 60-ish maps. I didn't put the bink folder in, I'll try that next

If I can remember correctly, you don't need to have the actual bink video's in the folder. Just make an empty folder and name it bink and see if that works.

You dont need the bink folder, try adding Single_Player_shared.map maby the main menu uses something from it.

Would I need to have the complete map pack together before it worked? The first time I tried, I only had two maps in to see it it worked. I'm not sure if the 1000 map patch keeps the original maps, although I think it might. Once I get singleplayershared.map in, I'll put it all on a DVD and see what happens.
