Map Names

Two things:

1) I make VERY simple mods by converting the default CE maps to PC, editing them with HMT 3.5, and converting them back, but it does not let me change the name. Help please!
2) Why do no maps have capital names? That just seems weird. Some do, but they don't show up on the list.

Anyways, any help would be appreciated, mainly on the first question. Thanks!

We have detected that one of the Halo PC files is missing or corrupted. We recommend removing and reinstalling the game. (maps\firefox.map)
Now CE doesn't load...I used Hex Workshop 4.2

Why would you want to change the name of a map anyway?

I convert the default maps to PC, edit them with HMT, convert them back, but always have to overwrite the original.

Just edit the name in a hex editor. Its somewhere in the fist 10 lines. Just make sure the new name is the same amount of characters as the original map. So if its chillout, call it Crackout or Chillmod.
