How Do I Change the name at level select?

Ok, i've been modding the demo of Halo for a few weeks now, and just started skinning recently. I wanted to know, how do I change the level information, at the screen where u select the level u wanna play. I wanna make it so it says "Shit Gulch" (the name of my level) rather than "Blood Gulch."

Here is a picture below of what i want to do.

Thanks for your help

I'm just as baffled as you are, but make sure to keep us updated on Shit Gulch

I think, if I'm correct (which I'm probably not) you use Hex Editor to change the name of it.

Dude, what r u talking about, TRICKING PEOPLE? The maps name is Shit Gulch, and I want the screen to say it!!!

Ne way, i found the answer to my problem, sort of.

Ok, i opened ui.map in a hex editor, then searched for text strings, with the unicode option checked. Now bare with me here, i'm no expert for writing tutorials, and this by no means is one at all, but i typed in "blood" into the search, and it found 4 things. So I changed "blood" to "shit", and saved, then opened up Halo (demo), and it worked!!!

But, of course i fucked something up, and there were 2 spaces btwn Shit and Gulch, so i went to edit it, and was never able to get it to say Shit Gulch again.

The bottom line is, the answer to changing it lies in ui.map. I just don't know how to change it correctly.

Hope this helps somewhat,

and while ur at it, check out the Shit Gulch v1.5 mod for the demo, at files.halomods.com.

you need to edit the UI.map file with HMT, you'll see all the info you need in that.

Ok, i know that i need to change the ui.map. I just don't know what to change. I tried using Hex Workshop, but it got all messe up. Dank, since you seem to be the only one with a real answer, what do I change with HMT? Is ist he unicode string list, and if so, which one, for example, do i change to do BG?
