It's for a cache not a map...and it's cache000.

hmmm anyone know how to edit an actual single-player map file rather than a cache file?

I opened up A30.map (the 2nd level of the game, Halo), made some modifications, recompressed, cleared the cache, transferred it to the box, and it freezes when I reach a certain point.

All I did was duplicate a covenant dropship, change the duplicated item to a Banshee, and moved it near where you spawn when the level begins.

Anyone know what I should do?

Mod looks awesome. Can't wait to try...
ONE QUESTION THOUGH:

Is this ONLY for single player or can this somehow be used or converted to a multiplayer level?

Please let me know.
I will also try playing around with it to see.
I have been making new compressed maps by using SparkEdit & Hex editor tool & it's been working like a charm.

Unless you have already made this as a multiplayer level, would you like me to post if I can hack this into a multiplayer myself & do I have your permission to do so?

DId you have to patch the beach level to do this or is this BG???

to answer all of your questions, patch the beach level, no it cant be used for multiplayer, and sparkedit doesnt save changes to single player maps correctly.

i want teleporters in single player =(

hmmm, does any program allow you to modify a compressed map file such as a30.map? SparkEdit doesn't save single player maps correctly, and HHT and HMT can't open compressed maps...

sparkedit doesnt save changes to maps, thats not to say it doesnt recompress single player maps. i have never tried that though

sparkedit WILL compress this map, it worked like a charm for me. Just name it a40.map (I think) and put it in your map folder, and it'll always be there for ya (of course you'll lose your regular silent cartographer unless you have multiple copies of halo installed)

If it doesn't work with sparkedit 3.02 use v2.5.

if theres a level you dont like much, go in to a hex editor and open FI, where it says 'b30' type in the level code for the level you dont like and then compress it...it will replace that level now

one and a half months old and this mod is still holding its own...thats damn good for an xbox mod

JoePo, my problem isn't that SparkEdit won't compress the map, it's that you cannot edit single-player maps with SparkEdit and save the changes correctly with it.
