assuming i dont add or take away anything at all from the map, could a single player map be placed into the CE maps folder and work just fine?

i dont think so...the halo maps that are for campaign (i guess) have a different code in hex then the multiplayer halo CE maps

well that jus made my job alot harder
im tryin to convert the last part of the maw, the part where u have to drive a really long way, to MP and hoped that would work

well if you rebuilt the map you could do sp->mp conversion in teh rebuild to make it a MP map then use the halo maps to halo CE maps to convert it to a halo CE map and play it there....im guessing this so dont hang on ym everyword....but you could try that....

Ask someone with a Tag Converter to let you use the tags for them

how many people accually have a tag converter....where did they get one?.......pardon my off topic

Anyone who has one made it theirself, or got it from somebody really nice that made it themselves. Tag converters aren't allowed to be released, it would ruin user created maps. Prometheus will have one, but it will only work for the original maps that came with halo and halo CE.

well woudnt that be a really bad case of copyright crud?

it is ironic because taking tags from published work (halo 1) is just as illegal as taking tags from other peoples work. but oh well. w/e.

for ur map u could somehow extract the bsp and the textures and sort it out in 3ds Max.

ive got Halo Map Version Converter, is that the same thing?

That doesn't work. And, NO, it's not illegal to use original tags. If it were, Bungie would be suing a lot of people right now.

well, so far, ive gotten it rebuilt and used HMVC to convert it to CE. it shows up in the map archive, but its unclickable and therefor unusable. i remember awhile ago i found something on google that said in HMVC, to get it to show up all that had to be done was change the hex, and it gave the hex to convert it. but i forgot where that was and what to search for, so i gotta go look for it.

Won't work either. It's not just a few hex changes. It's the entire programming itself.
