HOW do I use SparkEDIT or something like that IN HALO TRIAL?

Post by Sapfirewand »

In PLENTY of Halo trial games, I see cliff mods, mods with new spawning spots, mods with master chiefs everywhere :O

However, I noticed that SparkEdit does not open up trial maps. It says compiling and then it just doesn't do anything.

So my question is: What do people use instead of SparkEdit? Don't tell me that's not possible because there's tons of mods like cliff-mods that can't be done just by using HMT and a hex editor.

So can anyone please tell me how I would do it? Thanks!

there's something called Sparkified that patches up the BG map for trial which enables it to be opened with Sparkedit.
however, i cannot locate a link at this time

thanks wes! You own! Heh I was gonna turn the entire BG into mountains but my friend only had halo trial.

One question: Why would you need to "de-sparkify" BG in trial? So there are some disadvantages then?
