Step 1.
First things first make a backup directory of your maps. Then go ahead and open up Entity Alpha 1. And click "File", then "Open" and Double click on "05_deltaapproach.map". Wait for that to load.... Once done go down to the "Mach" Tag section and open it. Click on "scenarios\objects\solo\deltatemplate\bridge\bridge" This shouldnt take long to load, once done, at the Right-side of Entity check the boxes "Recrusive" and the "Parsed". Next to that is a button called "Save" Click that and it should bring up a window saying "Browse for Folder". Now I save it to my desktop for quick access so click "Make new folder" at the bottom of that window and type in "Gate". And click the folder then ok. This shouldnt take long either depending on the speed of your computer. And congrats you a have passed Step 1!!!
Step 2.
Well now that you have the gate tags on your desktop this is how you "Build" it into your map. Right with "Entity Alpha 1" still open click "File" then "Open" and open up your map you want to build it into. For example im going to use "Asencion.map" If you have made a new folder you will need to "Copy" the following maps : "Mainmenu.map" and "Shared.map" So that Entity can see which textures and such are being used... Now once that opens you should see at the Bottom-Right A button called "Build" click it and a window should open up saying "Open". You will need to go to the directory of your "Gate" that you saved in Step 1. Open that folder and there should be a file called "Bridge.Info" Double-Click it and it should start loading. Wait for a window to come up saying Done and click "OK". You Have Just "Built" A gate into your chosen map
Step 3. Last Step w00t!
Now you must be thinking hmmm why did I bother? Well the awnser to that is Racetracks can be alot of fun ESPECIALLY Crazy Halo Derby In the Killtrocity mappack. Anyway you will need to go to the Tag section saying "SBSP" Click the one that is there and wait for it to load.... Once done At the Top Right It says "Tools" Click that and choose raw editor. Be careful not to adjust the size of window because it seems to go black but however you may move it to your likeing. Now hold your right mouse button in and press "W" on your keyboard this will move you forward so that you can view your map.... These are the controlsright mouse click:change view
left mouse click:select object
arrow keys: move object up, down, left, right
Page up: move object up
Page down:move object down
W:move camera angle forward
A:move camera angle left
D:move camera angle right
S:move camera angle back
X:move camera up(vertical)
Z:move camera down(also vertical)
Shift, Ctrl, Alt: change angles while holding down and moving mouse
Use these to move your camera around and position your "Piece" around
But before you do any of that you will have to continue onto Step 3b beta lol
Step 3b Beta.
Lol anyway you will need to close the bsp viewier and "Sign" the map. There is a button at the bottom right called "Sign" click it and then click "OK". Close down entity for now and open up dothalo, go to the vehic tag section. After that go to the tag beneath it and go to the Dependcies window and click on the part that says "objects\vehicles\banshee\banshee" and click the drop down box at the top there and go to "mach" then the drop down box beneath that go to "scenarios\objects\solo\deltatemple\bridge\bridge" click the button that says "Save Changes" and then at the left side click "Fix Encryption". Then close down Dothalo as it will not be used anymore. Go to wherever you put "addchunkscompress" and open it up. Then click "File" then "Open" and choose your map. After that theres a box that says "All Done Here". It should bring an even bigger window up then at the right side click the " Add Chunk" check box so it has a tick and go to add chunk "0" then do then box next to it "# To Add" To about 10 as the gates are rather big (you can type this in). At the bottom right there is a little check box called "Inject As New" UNDER ALL CIRCUIMSTANCES YOU MUST !!! CHECK THIS BOX!!! then you will need to click the box above that says "Add" then wait for it to finish by the way do Yes when it ask's you to and close that down as you will not need that anymore.Time for Step 4. Alpha!
Step 4. Alpha!
Now This is almost over. Next you will need to open up Entity Alpha 1 agian and open your map. Scroll down to the sbsp tag and click it and go to "Tools" then "Raw Editor" then use the controls in step 2 to use them from here I cannot help you no further ! O and by the way YOU MUST CLICK ON FILE SAVE CHANGES EVERYTIME YOU MOVE SOMETHING IF YOU DONT IT WILL RANDOMLY MOVE THE OBJECTS WHEN YOU FTP IT TO YOUR XBOX!!!
Step 4. Alpha 2

1. Open up dothalo
2. Scroll down to the [vehi] Tag section
3. Find warthog and copy the meta offset at the top
4. Go to the [weap] Tag section
5. Click the weapon you want to replace e.g. magnum
6. Paste the meta offset (Overwrite it) where the weapons is
7. Click "Save Changes" and "Fix Encryption" then close
