I still can't find out where to put the files. I looked in the tutorial and it only told how to do crap on xbox, not PC.

It's done the same way, except the cache file you need is in the haloPC folder on your HDD.

i figured it out

Post by M.A.C. »

I figured out the whole applying ppf files thing. First you should make a backup of the map you are modding and put it into another folder(incase you ever want to play the level normally).You need winrar and ppf-o-matic which can be found in the download section, simply unzip the downloaded file with winrar. Open ppf o matic and click on patch open button. select the unzipped mod you downloaded, then click the open button for the ISO file. Go to your halo/maps folder and select the level the mod is for.you will have to change the bar at the bottom to show all files, rather than CD images. after this simply apply the settings and enjoy :D , and remember to make a backup of the map! or you will have to reinstall when you want to play the map normally.

multipe ppfs

Post by M.A.C. »

it is not any diffrent if you want to add multiple ppf's. just do it more than once to the same map. you do not have to follow any diffrent procedure.

Can you play internet games that are not hosted by you with ppf's applied to maps?

e.g. If a mod is applied to Death Island (on my HDD) can I still join and play a game hosted, say, at the HBO Dedicated Server on Death Island?

Thanks if you can help.
