you don't open the map modding tool while Halo Trial is open, I think that could crash the game. also you open the map edit stuff then quit HMT and then load the map in trial to play mods.

here is how to do almost everything:

Never double post, especially within a timeframe of 20 minutes,
we are not always patrolling to help everyone who posts right away.
As for your question, click open (File open?) and cruise on over to halo trial
folder and find your map, then open it.

probably because your trying to edit trial...hmt only edits halo pc...

You need a special hmt to mod halo trial.

Last I checked HMT could still open and edit trial maps. The main issue was that it couldn't rebuild (since the default magic value is different). That's the only change between HMT and THMT. You'd by any chance be running vista? I've heard bad things when vista + trial + HMT interact.

i think you want sparkedit. Correct me if wrong, but do you want to actually view the map and edit it?

If that is the case, download sparkedit....
