Honor Guard Pike usable in MP

Platform: Halo 2
Difficulty: Intermediate
Description: I just came up with this method while wondering what weapons haven't I put in maps. It may not be the exact weapon but it's close enough.
Note: Lunge doesn't work due to an update. However I will keep experimenting so that when I find out I will update this TUT. If that's ok with the Administrators. Also the Pike has no FP model so we have to stick to the flag's fp model cosidering it's the closest model that looks like the pike. Ok here we go...
First, open insolence and open the SP map which contains the pike(I used
High Charity) and the MP map you want the pike in.
Next, go to the SP map and scroll down to the "mode" tag group and in it find the tag "objects\weapons\melee\pike\pike". Click once to highlight it, then once it is highlighted move it to the MP map the same way you move files and folders on your computer.
Now if it is done right, a small status window will appear showing the status of the transfer.
Once it is done transferring close the SP map because you don't need it for the remainder of this tutorial.
Now you have the weapon's model in your MP map but you need to be able to use it. So now scroll down to the "hlmt" tag group and find the tag "objects\weapons\multiplayer\flag\flag". Double click it and the tag info should open in the blank box on the right side of the map window. Click on the word "edit" on the top of the tag info and it should turn into "dev" mode. Now click on "all dependencies" and got to the mode tag in the info window. Double click it and then click on the arrow pointing down at the edge of the mode tag which should open the drop down box. Now scroll down down until you find the tag that says "objects\weapons\melee\pike\pike" and click on it.
Good job the flag has been transformed into the Honor Guard Pike but you can't use it unless you play CTF so now you need to make the Pike spawn on the map. So go to the "itmc" tag group and pick the weapon you want to replace the Pike with on the map. Double click it and got to item permutations and then visible dependencies. Double click the tag there and switch it to "objects\weapons\multiplayer\flag\flag".
Now resign the map, ftp, and enjoy.
