Even though PPF stands for Playstation Patch File, you can use PPF-O-Matic to patch your PC map files.

Either one works.. I use ppf-o-matc because I'm too lazy to get use to anything else (even though people say it is easier)

HHT allows you to do many ppf's at a time, so its more helpful

lol u brought my 1st thread when i wuz an 'ultra n00b'
boy i sure wuz desperate...lol. :oops:
anyway-u probably aren't patching it correctly.
1.first of all make sure it's a ppf patch.
2.then make sure other ppl have actually made it work.(there r some mods i've DL that don't work)
3.open ppf-o-matic. go to the ISO file and choose the bloodgulch.map
(u will have ta change the CD Images type of file to 'All Files')
4. choose patch. (make sure it works for BG) and slect it.
5. press 'apply patch' it should say patch applied sucessfully burn image to cd now!(i have no idea what this means)
6. if it doesn't work u gotta mod by urself.
this forum has gone to hell

ok well, i did what u said... almost all my problems could have been fixed with 2 clicks.. :oops: but, i did it, and i was trying to install (patch, whatever) the hogwars mod, it said the cd burn thing like u said, but didnt patch right. im geussing the file doesnt work, but the thing is, i downloaded the mod from this site! (halo mods, duh)... i dont think that it would have a bad file, especially when so many people download it from here and it works..
once again
HELP :roll:

waittt there may be a mistake, not being that the file was bad. the last step (the one i got stuck on) on hog wars installation is ~ Also in the rar, was a bitmaps.patch.ppf. Use PPF-O-Matic to apply this to your bitmaps.map folder. -apply to bitmaps.map folder..? does it do that auto?
sry im such a noob... someone just taught me the basics on hex, and im learning how to use some of the things in HTMv3...

-more help would be greatly apprecitated... whitet09 (aim) :D
