for simple projectile switching, use Halo Hacker Tools, as it is reversable when done that way.

and yeah, you would need to use Spark Edit to move spawn points around, you can try to open the demo maps wit it, but it may not work properly.

sparkedit and HHT do NOT work with trial maps, the only modding tool that is SOME WHAT compatible is HMT, but even then you cant use it to its full abilities.

to get the sniper in flamerthrow location you just swap the sniper with the flamethrower in the weapon tag, same with the vehicle in the vehicle tag.

ok, i remember something that came up about a year and change ago, someone discovered that the only difference between a Halo PC map and an HCE map was the header at the beginning, and a simple copy-paste would let you edit the map in HMT, HHT, SE, and whatnot, the swap back to play. so try that, copy the header from an HPC map, paste it over the Demo map header, edit, and change it back.

If your talking about switching from a HaloCE to PC map to edit then switching back, just get the Halo Map Converter. It works wonders. A bit screwy every now and then but I like it, its helpful.

dont remember, but if you open it up in text-edit, copy the header and paste it over the other one (depending on how u want to convert)

yes, it is suposed to be, you have to copy that first chunk, that is kinda seperate from the rest. or something like that. if you look at all of the PC ones, you will notice that one line of that chunk is the same for each, the same is true of all the CE ones, to convert one to the other, copy that line and paste over the other.
