I have The Halo Trial and I want to use Spark Edit. However, whenever I try to open the bloodgulch map, it says 'unnamed file not found'. Can anyone help?

Well, this could be mainly due to the fact you have halo trial and its in a different folder.

Ok, 3 things:

1> Don't DoublePost, nobody likes it....

2> Different Folder, as in, halo trial is installed to C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Halo Trial whereas normal halo is in C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Halo

3>Sparkifiy is a patch. You must patch a map with sparkify in order for it to work in sparkedit. After you are done you must Undo sparkify with another patch. To do this, get the following
PPF o Matic
Sparkify.ppf
UndoSparkify.ppf


I hoped that helped you :D

So I'm guessing I have to download PPF o Matic Sparkify.ppf and UndoSparkify.PPF?

Download Demo Hack 3.0.
http://forums.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=58339

Load the map you want to open in sparkedit in demo hack. Click the "to full" button. Open sparkedit and go to "tolls>options" and in bitmaps.map path add trial after halo.
Most of the time it will be this.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo\maps\bitmaps.map
Becomes
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo trial\maps\bitmaps.map

Now open the map the you converted. When you are done editing, save and then hit the "to demo" button on Demo hack.

If you look, there is a windows version as well. Altimit01 was nice enough to compile it for me.

Important Note:
You also need to get a file, "Undo_Sparkify.ppf" to play your map in halo.

Ok, how to use Sparkedit on a MultiPlayer Map.

1>Browse for an ISO file.
2>On the bottom where ity says "CD Images", click the arrow and select "All Files"
3>Find "bloodgulch.map" and select it.
4>Now browse for the patch file. Finw where your "Sparkify.ppf" and select it
5>Click the "Apply Button" and wait for a message box saying "Patch Applied Successfully"
6>Click OK and Exit out of PPF o Matic
7>Edit your map using Sparkedit
8>save it
9> go back to the PPF o matic.
10> repeat steps 1-4, However, instead of slecting "sparkify.ppf", select "Undo_sparkify.ppf"
11>Enjoy your modded map.
