How can I get .MAP files to appear in the MP list?

Post by pinklink »

My friend told me that I can make the .MAP files appear be renaming them with the name of some other map, and overwriting it. However, it there a way to make it display, while not overwriting an old map? That would be great, because I want to be able to run .PPF mods on all the regular maps, and still be able to play .MAP files.

Ok, Grim was nice enough to help me find the DotHalo software, but he said it was tough to explain how to mod the mainmenu.map file in order to see and play other .map files. So I still don't know how to do that, and anyone who could link me to a tutorial (I couldn't find one) or explain it to me would be much appreciated.

Thanks for that, dude, but for some reason, it just isn't working for me :evil:

Maybe I'm using DotHalo wrong. Should I be using something else? I mean, I followed the directions exactly, I don't know what keeps going wrong...
