Check this tutorial again and get the Encryptomatic Signature, use it to sign Santa's_Workshop.map, FTP it to your Xbox, along with a patched mainmenu.map, if you used the main menu function in Serenity.

Well, if I remember correctly, you need a mainmenu.map in the same directory of the .serenity patch to use the main menu function. What the main menu function does it properly adds Santa's Workshop into your main menu.

With Serenity you don't have to overwrite your Elongation. If you do it right, your Elongation will still remain untouched and you will get a new map called Santa's_Workshop.map.

And about FTPing, you should be putting your maps in your Halo 2 map directory on your Xbox.

No, you do not put it in there. That is only for downloaded content from Bungie. Put it with the rest of your maps in the Halo 2 maps folder.

That is correct!

Now for the mainmenu, make sure you have one in the same folder as the patch. When it's done, and you didn't get any error messages about the main menu, FTP your Santa's_Workshop.map and your mainmenu.map(overwrite the one on your Xbox) into the "maps" folder.

Not sure I fully understand what you are trying to say, but are you trying to say you can't find the "maps" folder? You do have Halo 2 on your Xbox harddrive right?

You need a copy of Halo 2 on your hd in order to play any of the mods here. But you don't need ALL of Halo 2 on the hd in order for it to work. When you copy Halo 2 to your hd, don't copy any single player maps and its shared map. And don't copy the bink folder. And only copy the dafault.xbe in the root directory.

If this is to complicated for you currently, you could change the output map name in Serenity also as elog instead of Santa's_Workshop, ignore the mainmenu thing, and then put the modded elog in the $c folder where the downloaded maps are, overwriting your old one, and then play elog how you normally would but it will be modded. Just make sure you do not go on Xbox Live while you have the mod. And make sure you have a backup of elog.

Well, you need to copy Halo 2 on the Xbox hd in E:/games/halo2/[all your halo 2 files here]

Just in the root directory, only copy the .xbe file called "default.xbe".

Maybe there is nothing there because you havn't copied your Halo 2 there yet?

What exactly are you trying to do with your default.xbe?
