Request: A guide to modding Halo CE

Post by KayJay »

Okay. You can call me a begginer because I am slightly. I have been fiddling around with Halo Map Tools and I would like to actully make something. Here a couple of things I need help and answers to:

1. I Love HMT and I got the plugins and stuff for it so its real cool, but is there any way to do that for Halo CE. I need that sort of power thats all. Or do I use Gurrila?

2. How do I install the mods I have downloaded and made? I have got PPF studios and PPF-O-Matic but I cant seen to get the IMG file to work. I actully dont even know what it is.

3. I I make a mod in HMT how do I get it to the PPF stage or the bit where I can test it. I can make the mod but When i try to run it it goes: Exeption: Gathering Data and then 2 mins later it freezes and closes.

Anything else helpful would be apreeciated.

Thanks-
KayJay

1. you use HEK for making halo custom edition maps.

visit http://www.gearboxsoftware.com for more information.

2. what image file are you talking about?

3. well you have to apply .ppf to the map with ppf-o-matic, and when it says
"gathering exception data" that means that something you did made the
mod go wrong and it wont be playable.
oh btw, go [url=http://www.halomods.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=20736] here for more info on ppf patches
