ok. im almost done with my first mod which is d40 Elite Battles. (The Maw) At the end of the level i want to replace the warthogs with ghosts. Does anyone know how to do this?

Yeah. Just switch the meta of the warthog with the ghosts meta. You might have to import the ghost, which I don't know how to do.

By the way, it's a bad idea to tell everyone your I.P. Your IP is your STREET ADDRESS and people could hack you.

i know, but when i extract the meta it just says ghost not ghost.meta. so it doesnt work.

i donno what to say. I think you might be able to change it with Spark Edit 3.5

Spark Edit lets you remodel your maps including changing vehicles but if you do something like change a hog to a wraith with spark edit you still won't be able to drive the wraith. to do that use your spark edit.

for example in The Silent Cartographer i changed 1 of the hogs to a banshee. it was cool. I even changed a pelican to a Cov. Dropship, didn't go that well, it started shotting at me, lol.

oh yea i forgot, you cant import thing in spark edit. To import things use HMT. With spark edit you can only change things with other things that are in the map.

if the ghost is not already there in the maw, you will have to PMI (perfect model inject) it and rebuild the map. if it IS there. copy the meta from the ghost and paste it with the hogs meta. pretty easy.

I looked at the map and the ghost is NOT in the maw. you will have to inject it. http://www.halomods.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7728.
