Add them to the main menu, but do NOT make a new shared.amp and add it.

Hmm...I renamed it to "coagulation.map" and it worked fine, yet again, that was Single_player_shared.map. hmmm

you need to have two copies of it.

One that is renamed and one that is NOT.

do you mean with the new updates on? My quess is that if you want to do it over system link with he updates on, you couldn't, unless the other people that you were playing with all had a copy of shared.map with the same name as yours. You could just turn off your updates and play over system link with those people that also have their updates off after addding the maps to your mainmenu and changing the spawn point on shared.map.

Yea, you need

"Single_player_shared.map"
and
"Coagulation.map (i find that map worked)" that is really single_player_shared.map.

Shared and Mainmenu wont work, but Shared i think works but the spawns are wierd.

oh does it have to be coag? i guess midship isnt big enough. thanks

Maybe, I just know i used coag and it worked fine.

shared.map wotn work because thats required for MP to work right. SP shared is landfill. So use dothalo, go to matg and find a blank spot. Look at the other spots that are filled for a template on how to add the map

thanks santa. i have a question. with the renaming thing i named sp shared coagulation.map. i resigned with coag's signature and it still didnt work. do i need the au off? if so, how?
thanks for all the help guys! once i get it to work by renaming i will add to the main menu.

are you retarded you goto your unleash x dashboard and you goto your halo 2 directory goto maps select single_player_shared.map rename it to coagulation.map then delete the original coagulation.map then load the default.xbe and goto split-screen. then goto game setup and select the map called "coagulation" and then you press "B" and then hit start game wait a while then it will load.

and if you are actuallly having a hard time "renaming" i sugest you stop modding and dont come back.

Thanks for stealing my avatar. It shows how much im renowned here

Actually if you just rename it, it wont affect the sig of the map at all.

Edit: ARGH My first double post. shoot me.

t_mann05 · Post by **t_mann05** » Wed Jan 04, 2006 1:00 pm

I have been trying to get this map to load also. Can i play system link with this single_player_shared.map? Do you have to edit player spawns or anything?

I'm not sure about anything goin on with the AU. But if you have the 1.1 update you will probably have to add a map tag and leave space for single_player_share.map after all the newer maps. I have heard rumor of playing shared.map by putting a spawn in it BUT i am still curious about that.

Single_Player_shared.map on the other hand IS playable. I used to have it on my menu. You don't have to name it coag.map or any other stuff. Just follow the instructions in the Adding map tag to main menu tutorial over at halomaps. It doesn't matter what a map is named. You could name containment.map to midship and play it from the midship map tag if you wanted. Mainmenu.map doesn't check the size of the maps as far as i know or else we wouldn't be able to play maps like Catacombs or other's with injected objects.

EDIT/ PS: FIX THAT AVATAR! Fantom's avatar is very easy to recognize and when some *fourletterwordthatstartswithaN* like you comes along and steals it. That throws me off. SO BACK OFF BUDDY! That's his avatar. LOL. I can't believe i'm fighting for someone's avatar.

SP shared i just renamed because I was too lazy to add it to the main menu.

But if you have the DLC maps, (the 9 new ones) then you have to allocate for those, so yea.

And Shared IS playable but you need to edit spawns.
