Ok I got PPFs to work on Containment. But when I try to inject the h_turret_ap meta into the banshee meta than change the banshee's hlmt to h_turret_ap it wont load. Why won't it load? Anything I try to do, even the simplest like making a warthog fly wont work!!! I have worked on this for a week now. Tell me how I can get this to work. I am using Dot Halo, but I have tried everything in the universe to do it but it still wont work. I think its because there are halo 1 programs in halo 2 programs category.............
Please help me get this to work I am going wacko and am very angry about this stuff because it wont work!!

... Did you not click the link?
And don't mod to others disadvantages. Period. If you know what you are doing, then by all means mod away online but don't spread bad names for modders.
yes

Umm yes I did click the link but I was asking why my own little mods wouldnt load. Basically all I did was change some tags like on the warthog I made it so it will fly, but it wouldnt load. I dont see how adding containment to the mainmenu will help when its already on there.
How am I modding to others disadvantages??

after watching that mouse click through things real fast I sorta caught on to the video. I saw that you added dunes to the main menu. Now whats a AU? you said you had to rename it before going on xbl. So that means you cant play on xbc with a map you modded and loaded from the main menu? Also I saw that you had plenty of room on your xbox's hard drive to fit halo 2 game files and extra stuff. My xbox cant even fit Halo 2 full on the hard drive (E:/). Could this be why I can't do everything you percieve to be so simple while I may not have the same things as you?

Ok, let's try to answer all these questions.
The reason I have a ton of stuff on my xbox is because I upgraded the HDD to a 160 gig. This way, I can fit MUCH more data. More data = more games.
As for renaming the AU, you have to do this because maps will not load if they are added to the mainmenu and if the AU is 1.1 or 1.2. Being able to view the maps on the mainmenu after they are downloaded, automatically tells you know that you have 1.1. If you didn't have 1.1, you would not be able to see them added.
Also, the reason you have to add the maps to the mainmenu, is because they cannot be modded in the directory they sit in now. E:\TDATA\4d530064\$C\
They cannot load from there modded because their encryption depends on the eeprom of the xbox. If the signature doesn't match to the eeprom, then the maps will fail to load. This is why adding them to the mainmenu is so crucial. Now you can mod them without having to worry about encryption issues.
All in all, just follow that tut and I GUARNTEE that you will be able to load a modded DLC map.
