HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Okay, I downloaded a mod. I put it in the folder with the levels of halo. (Yes, I have copied them and put them in a backup folder). But how do I get the Mod into halo? It's not there.. How do I get it to take the place of a level or however you do it? Thanks.

that modded file has to be the same name as the level taht its in, so u just replace the map file so if the mod is called bloodgulch.map, u delet the one in ur maps folder and stick the modded one in there.

I did this. I named the mod file bloodgulch.map and I deleted the other one. I have a backup in a folder called bloodgulch1.map is that bad? It still won't work too... Help

it would help if you were very clear about what you did, step by step...

as for the backups, just keep them in another folder under the same name so that you can just copy/paste/overwrite...

okay

the mod didnt work? as in you weren't actually playing the mod but just regular BG? if so, you must've not placed the mod in the right folder...

could it be a ppf that you just renamed?, it could be that the name is spelled wrong or something, double check

just to be sure, we need pics of what you do, not the map ingame...

ya not in the game as Hunter said so we might be able too see what you are doing wrong

The first shows the halo folder and the backup folder but....
The Pictures are posted below BUT I found something. When i single click on all of the maps it says (mapname).map but when I click on bloodgulch it says: bloodgulch.map.zip Is the .zip supposed to be there? Look at it in the 2nd pic!

no get ride of the zip part on the name that maybe your prob

and i think your putting the maps in wrong dir arnt the suppose to go to

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo\Maps????

How do i change from a ZIP to a MAP?

Just rename it to like Bloodgulch.map and you said ti was like Bloodgulch.map.zip ?????

Yea, look in the second link. I saved as bloodgulch.map but it says bloodgulch.map.zip
