dont run halo2 of the disc, run it off the HDD and any map will be modded that you have changed. Make it slc so people dont get bluescreened, etc.

SLC stands for System Link Compatable (or Compatabitity). It simply means making your mod so it is compatatble with system link. That means people who you're 'system linking' with won't get blue screened, ect. and will be able to play your mod fine (except they won't be able to see skins and projectile swaps).

the noob questions keep coming, thanks for the explanation

BUT, all of ya'll talk about "turning on slc" like its a checked box in dot halo, how exactly do you turn slc on, or make it slc compatible, so others who are non-modders can see ur mod

btw: if ur interested go to the scripting/programming section i still haven't got a reply yet after 2 days, i'm trying to anayzle and eventually mod farcry evolution, i uploaded sample map files to play around with, since i can't figure anything out, if anyone can take a look that would be much appreciated
