Halo 2 can't load any of my mods

[Chaoswarrior]

I don't know what the fuck is going on, Halo 2 can't load any of my mods, and very few of any patched mods. I have not a damn clue what I'm doing wrong.

I open triplicate.map in DotHalo.
Make a few projectile swaps and trigger changes (Nothing spectacular.)
Save the fuckin file.
Close DotHalo.
Fix the encryption using the Fantastic 6's program.
Burn the map file to a CD-R using Nero Express at 2x burn speed.
Clear cache in X, Y, Z, and E:\CACHE\.
Open CD-R in File Transfer in the AID 2.11 menu.
Copy triplicate.map to the main directory on my HDD.
Load Halo 2 from my HDD.
Choose what gametype I want to play.
Attempt to play the map by myself.

Then my xbox basically tells me to go fuck myself.

What pisses me off more is I can't FTP, so I'm pissing away CDs like they are easy to obtain like water, which CDs are not for me.

Is it added to your mainmenu? You cant play it from the TDATA.

Where can I put the map then? I have been able to play one modded map from the TDATA folder, so there has to be a way to do it from there.

The only people who insist on playing it from the TDATA folder mod on live.

Not really. I mod in TDATA cause the new autoupdate.

Let me clarify.

Dont talk about modding in the TDATA folder, becuase any live modder could come along, take the information, and mod on live. Better safe than sorry.

As for where else to put them, check the Tutorials Submissions board for my tutorials post. Theres a tutorial in there.
