All right i was modding tombstone and i was getting far and it loaded and i got sick of the death barrires and theres 14 on the map... i took them off now it will not load? Did bungie put somthing in? Or was it the application mess up the map? and yes its added to the main menu. in file E:\Games\Halo2\maps

Wow im stupid.. also when i went to make the map i also added teleportals to the map using entity, could that be why it is not loading? Because i added a teleportal so you can going in an out of all the inclosed areas on tombstone. Is that why?

your best bet would be to start over with a clean map, and test every change and keep backups, change one thing, if it works back it up and change another, that way you know what messed it up, and you'll always have a working copy of your mod

You know, someone should post that as an announcement, because I've talked to too many people who say they've lost "60 years" of work because they didnt back it up. This is one of the most important bits of advice you should follow as a modder. I'm not saying this as a slam on you, Battleman, I'm just making a point, and I hope that anyone who reads this topic will take this advice.
Edit: Sorry for offtopicness.
