HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

I'm a beginner and I have Halo PC Combat Evolved. I would like to learn how to apply mods because I can't.
This is what I usually do to apply a .rar mod...
- First of all I download the mod like this one:
http://forums.halomods.com/viewtopic.ph ... 29&t=57824
- then I extract it and I have the file bloodgulch.map
- right-click on it and I hit copy
- then I go to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo\MAPS" and I select paste, overwriting the modded map with the original one.
- Then I make a match on Halo with that map

I don't understand where I mistaked because, when I start the match with the modded map, it doesn't work. Do I need some programs to apply it? What can I do?
Help !

In what way does it not work?
Does it:

Give an exeption error?
Make the gamplay really weird?
Not make any changes?

Please provide more details, I am happy to help newbies.

It makes the gamplay really weird and I can't move around the map .
It isn't easy to explain... all is a mixture of false colours ( for example, the bases in bloodgulch are usually grey but I see them red, purple and grey...)
I don't know if you understand...

Please reply me!

Try not to double post.

IS the blood gulch your using clean?

What do you mean with "clean"?

If "clean" means the original one, I'm not using the original bloodgulch map becase, as I said above, I overwrote the modded map with the original map...

So it is the clean one?
Wait what?

This is the problem:
When I start the game with the modded map, doing a match, the texture doesn't work and I can't move or shoot or do anything else; then I have to quit Halo by using CTRL+ALT+CANC because it is blocked.

I think I do something wrong when I overwrite the original map with the modded one

Look at the topic and see if anyone else has got the same problem. Also see whether it is a trial mod or not.

Wait a minuite!
Got it!

Try seeing what gametype you are using when you host the game, use a straight slayer or CTF preset or something like that...

If you're NOT hosting the game, the problem is obvious: The host's map and your map do not match, causing all sorts of crazy errors

I tried to host a game with Slayer, Team Slayer, CTF but nothing . The game doesn't work. Do I need some programs to apply these mods?
(The energy sword mod is a mod and not a trial)

Please help me !

No, by trial he they meant for the halo demo or the halo full game. The mod just might be corrupt or you don't have the full thing, or the wierd stuff you see was meant to be that way by its creator.

I have the halo full game.

Ok. So what was the mod for? Trial or Full?

I don't know if that mod was for trial or full . How do you see if it is for trial or full?
By the way, this is the mod http://forums.halomods.com/viewtopic.ph ... 29&t=57824

Hmmmm... I don't know how to help you here.
I have actually downloaded this mod and it works.

Do I need some programs to apply mods, like Microsoft Net Framework??
Maybe, these mods doesn't work because I'm italian and so I have the Italian version of Halo Combat Evolved.....
Please try to help me !
