Couple n00b questions about map packs and dashes.

[beefdonkey]

Hey guys, I'm ew to this and am desperately trying to absorb all of these awesome mods and I had some questions.

Say I got a map pack(exactly like/is Killtrocity)...

I got it up and running in no tme. Thanks for the awesome tutorials.

BUT,

1. Can I add other modded maps (that aren't listed there) to the dashboard? If so... How?

2. How do I add pictures to the dashboard? For the one with the big "?".

3. Can I put the original maps from Halo 2 and The Map Packs in the maps folder and play on them? How please?

Thanks if you can help, great work guys on the board and with your mods.



Extra Credit... What's Mimesis? Is it a Halo dash or X-Box dash with Halo stuff built in?

1. Yes. Use shade45's Main Menu Editor and add the maps scenario name to an empty slot, and give it a name. Also don't forget to inject a picture.

2. Get a mainmenu picture the right size and than save it as a A8R8G8B8 in Photoshop. Open Ch2r and navigate to ui\code_global_bitmaps, double click the map slot you added or the map slot you want to add the picture too. In the dropdown box select Old Bitmap Editor. Click Inject and find your new DDS image. When it finishes, close Ch2r.

3. The map packs come with the original maps on it. (I don;t really understand your question)

4. Mimesis is an Xbox app that lets you download updated Halo 2 modded content right off your xbox, and allows you to play it on System Link.

Wow!! Thanks XxSilencedDeathxX. No flames at all. Very pro.

My question is about injecting the "unmodified" Halo 2 and Killtacular(not killtrocity ) multi-player maps. You know, so I can have as many maps as I can without having to switch to the REAL Halo 2.

Can I just stick them in? Or do I gotta resign?

You want them to load with the killtrocity mappack? If so, the game engine is only set to handle 50 maps, and I think the mappack takes like 47...

I guess 50 is okay So I'll have to make a new "map-pack" with killtrocity files, BUT remove all the "killtrocity maps" and put what I want in there? Probably not what the original designer/modder/artist wanted, but it should work... Yes?

1. Still haven't got the answer to if I can just slide the original maps into the mappack? Or do I have to do something to the special?

Thanks Monkey Terd for help.
