Failed to load map

Post by Orion1991 »

I know I probably look like a huge newb at modding, and that's becasue I am. But so far I've been using Entity, and I modded the old maps (Lockout, Ivory Tower, ect.) successfully. I can't seem to get the new maps (not the newest maps, but Containment, Relic, ect.) to work. I always get the failed to load the map message. I have tried resigning them with entity and TF6 - Signiture and it still doesn's seem to work. Seeing as I am just getting started I probably missed something basic, but I would appreciate it if someone would help me out.

Wait im confused, in that link you gave me, do I just download the MainMenuAllMaps at the bottom, then patch it, then overwrite the old main menu map on my xbox?

Edt: Nvm I got it, thank you for your help tho, I appreciate it.

Edit 2: Is there any way to get this to work on system link, I tested it and on my friends xbox 360 it says it failed to load the map when I host it on my modded xbox.

patch the mainmenu then add all the dlc maps into a halo 2 all maps folder on your xbox with all the maps and other halo 2 files

wait do you mean entity won't load them? because i know the older versions didn't do relic and terminal because they had some extra tag or something, and if you put the new maps back into the part of ur xbox where they originally are they will load or you can add them all to the main menu.

No Entity loads them fine, and I got my xbox to load them now too with my mods on them, but when I try to system link with my friend's 360 turf (the map I modded) won't load for him. Is there anyway to mod the old new maps and get them to load on my friends 360? Me and my friends want to havea LAN party with mods.

you can't put ur map on his 360 but you can make the mods system link compatible so that he can see everything so long as you host. its says fix system link in entity when your modding check the box then save it, should work

Nope didn't work, for some reason on his 360 it doesn't even say Turf for the map, it's just blank where the map name should be and it just has a question mark for the map's picture. But when he makes his party he can load the map but I can't.
