questoin about adding maps to your halo2 backup game on hdd

[effy]

ok i got a ppf file patch for deltatap.map..i opend ppf omatic and patched the backup of the original map and *also made an aditional back up of my entire halo2 game onto my pc incase i fucked up anything* so when finished the patch..to my best knowlage all i had to do is open flashfxp and open the dir. where my halo2 maps are located on my xbox hdd ..and i just copied over the original map*deltatap.map* .i rebooted and went to see if it worked...nothin worked..there was supposed to be these modifications added to it..

*New effects built strictly on hex
*A fully functional Fuel Rod Gun (With fp, animations, and reticul!)
*Fully functional jackal shield (with fp and collision to stop anything!)
*The hunter cannon projectile
*Rechargable carbine that triggers projectiles to come from the sky
*Upgraded and fully automatic battle rifle (starting weapon)
*And more!


the mod was called Spell Shade 1.0 for The Sanctuary (deltatap.map)
any help would be nice on this..ive just gotten into the halo moding and dont really know much but ..thats why ppl ask questions to learn something if they dont know it ....

i have one more question..is it possable..to make a backup of a map ..patch it ..or mod it ..and just rename it and throw it back into the map folder and it show up as a new map? jw..or if i download a modded map online of a map i have..can i do the same thing?
