[Map Pack]Re-Release of Halo 2: LAN Party Edition!

[jlddodger]

Okay, I've successfully compiled, iso'd, and burned the DVD, and it all seems to run fine, except that about half of the Halo 2 mods give me a "Failed to load map" error. I'll have to check again, but I don't think it was a particular map, so could it be a ppf error. And I'll check my maps again, but I'm pretty sure they are original.

Just got mine done too...Very nice work..and lots of fun

[Sivik]

I'm assuming half the files needed in the halo 2 multiplayer map pack folder are the files from the halo 2 disc correct?


What is someone suppose to do if they dont have that disc?

[MrBalll]

Buy it or get on on XBL and download them for free.

Yeah, im getting a failed to load map error on about 4 different maps. And NMP 1.1 isnt working at all. Is NMP 1.1 working for anyone else?

[afriendlyretard]

nmp 1.1 and cxe arent working for me

[anbuiruka]

These are the maps that dont work for me so if you are failing to load the same maps as me please say so. This is so I know if the failed to load the map errors only happened to me or if they are happening to everyone.

Halo 2: Gemini, Terminal, Icewind, Better red than dead, The Abandon Station, Zanzibar Ice, Zentation, Pharohs Reign, New Zanzibar, Atlantis, Canzibar, Cannabis Island, and Desrted Bunker.
Halo Conversion Pack: The Maw
Halo NMP 2.0: Cathedral and Chapel
Halo NMP 1.0 and CXE: Not loading title screen

[jlddodger]

The maps that are failing to load for me are:

Halo 2: Elongation, and any modded map based on Zanzibar or Ascension, and Deserted Bunker.
Halo: Longest (my fault bad FTP)
Halo Conv: Maw
Halo NMP 2.0: Chapel and Cathedral
Halo NMP and CXE: Fail to load

[daggerx]

this fits a 4.7 gig or is it bigger?

[afriendlyretard]

it fits on a regulation dvd (normal)

or you can put it on ur hdd

[Boney526]

Can any one helo me, or is hits just an insane bug? I FTPed all the games and i hit run. The thing taht says wha;s in progress is stuck on "Copying Halo"Combat Evolved." And it seems frozen and I can't click on it. Also, I checked the folder and the input folder was gone and there's no command folder.... what happened, do I need to re FTP?

[jlddodger]

Okay, the disappearing Input folder is a normal though somewhat annoying operation of the compile process. It's meant to save space. The games are copied into a hidden directory called (Config?). And then the compiler uses those to compile the modded packs. If you have gotten to the Copying Halo... phase then you passed all the file checks and you have what is needed. Make sure that you have sufficient disk space and that you can write into the directory you are working with. If all that is fine, it might be that the front end froze. If you FTP'd Halo 2 and Halo 2 has disappeared then it must have copied it, or at least tried. You have an interesting bug there. I would check the Config folder and see if you can find Halo there. It may have copied successfully and then froze or something.

Hey is anyone else getting failed to load map errors on the following:

Halo 2: Gemini, Terminal, Better red than dead, The Abandon Station, Zanzibar Ice, Zentation, Pharohs Reign, New Zanzibar, Atlantis, Canzibar, Cannabis Island, and Desrted Bunker.
Halo Conversion Pack: The Maw
Halo NMP 2.0: Cathedral and Chapel
Halo NMP 1.0 and CXE: Not loading title screen

Sorry for the noob Q, but ive done the compile and got a load of files, i burned them to a dvd and my xbox dont reconize it, do i have to burn it in a pacific way, and yes my box is modded with evoX and XBMC

[Boney526]

There's no config folder either and the window never got past the copying Halo:Combat Evolved stage.

[Tahiti]

??? It saved as a torrent how do i un-rar it if its a torrent?

[thatmexdude]

ok so ive got everything in there correctly except the halo 2 map pack. I dont have the disk i only have my xbl maps and updates does anyone know of the correct way to put them in the input folder or if its even possible to do this without the Halo 2 Maptacular CD?

[afriendlyretard]

no, you need the multiplayer map pack cd because the options on the main screen game of that are replaced by the different versions of halo

Boxes can be finicky. Mine works with a DVD+R and other have worked with a DVD-R, but it is possible that the media is incompatible. However, more likely you are not burn the right image, I don't know if this is necessary, but I ran my file setup through Quix to make an Xbox compliant ISO. You might try that.

Are you sure that you are showing hidden folders?

??? It saved as a torrent how do i un-rar it if its a torrent?

When Azureas or BitLord (or whatever bittorrent client you use) finishes with the file it will be a RAR. The torrent file is not the RAR file: you have to bittorrent the actual data.

ive managed to burn it now, as i got a e mail from Killzers saying to burn the image in nero using the udf/iso format and under the udf tab click make xbox compatable, this all worked fine and my box reconizes it as a game now, but i get a error screen saying

Error!
No definition file (eather b:\cdxmedia\cdx_fffffff.inx or b:\cdxmedia... then the rest is off the screen

any help?
