Note: Only known to work for Bloodgulch.
Open My Computer from your desktop (hotkey Windows + E). Navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Trial. I suggest you make a new folder, so it won't become too confusing. I'll call this folder GOILLA69 after the original tutorial submitter. Now enter the folder and create two more folders, one called ORGINAL and another called HEXED. Return to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Trial and enter your Maps folder, located here: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Trial\maps. Copy bloodgulch.map and paste it in both folders ORIGINAL and HEXED.
Fabulous. Now open your Hex Workshop. Go to the File Menu and select Open. Enter your C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Trial\GOILLA69\HEXED and open the bloodgulch.map. Don't get scared by what you see! Think of them as only a bunch of numbers and letters a 1st grader could recite. You should see the following code at the very top:

Name this new folder MOD1. Copy and paste the map you just hexed from C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Trial\GOILLA69\HEXED and paste it into your MOD1 folder.
Now it is time to use our awesome modding programs. Open HHT, HMT, or SparkEdit and mod the map in the folder MOD1 all you want. Once you are done (don't forget to save your work!), open the map you just modded with Hex Workshop. Replace the new code witht he original code. In other words, you lazy butt
, replace this:Code: Select all

Now copy the modded file from MOD1 and paste it in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Trial\maps. Click yes if it prompts you to overwrite. When you don't want to play the mod anymore, go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Trial\GOILLA69\ORIGINAL and copy the bloodgulch.map and paste it back into C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Trial\maps. Overwrite when prompted.
I hope this helped and everyone give a big thanks to Goilla69. I only found it necessary to rewrite it because it contained quite a few grammatical errors and, well, wasn't written for newbie modders. However, don't try this if you've just started modding. You have to have at least some experience in HMT or HHT or SparkEdit to even mod the map, period.
I hope to see more Halo Trial mods posted! Remember to not steal anything from full Halo (and don't even post it if you do...).
Pretty noobish. Sorry about this.
