Hi, I just started modding halo maps yesterday and know how to switch offsets for lots of things for the PC version but whenever I have moddified a multiplayer map I cant select the map I moddified when i try to host a game online, is there a certain way I have to moddfiy multi player maps or something?

If you want to host a game, the other players need to have the exact same map installed, or they won't be able to connect and get in the game.

I know, but the actual level in the level selection area is shaded out and I cant even click on it.

Mmm, sounds like some anti-modding feature of halo.....
Modded maps.

I've been able to create and join network games with modded maps...I've yet to try with the 'internet' section though...If it doesn't work, and you want to play, I suggest spreading your IP with friends and using the direct connect...
I would guess that it keeps you from using modified maps from online play...It doesn't really matter...The server keeps everything in sync with its copy...So if you speed up the warthog on a client only, the client will continually 'warp' backwards to where it should be, and if you speed it up on the server only, the client will warp forwards...(Thanks Aztec)...

this happened to me too. it happened cause i had sooo much of the numbers and stuff changed. i was new to hex editing and just went throuth typing stuff throughout the map file, without any kind of goal. maybe try starting the mod over?

ROFL, it is greyed out when you have the file your modding open in HMT, therefore greyed out because its in use...I thought any of you lot would know this
