PC MAPS TO XBOX MAPS???

Um, I not notice that anyone has question this one anywhere. But I would think it would be possible to able to take a pc map and export it so that the xbox version can play the map. This way we can use the Halo PC Editor to make the maps and then export it for the xbox version. If SparkEdit is able to open both PC and the XBOX maps, why not? What you think?

Im pretty sure you can't do that.

1. You would need to somehow export the texture file for the new map

2. You would have to replace one of the regular xbox maps with one of the exact same size

3. You would have to make sure the map is perfectly compatible with the xbox

Please use proper english, or at least put the words into the correct order. I'm serious. It makes it harder to understand what you're saying.

"ya thats why we create app to export maps into xbox map file"

Um, what the hell? You can't export a map into another file. Don't you mean hard-drive? Do you know how much programming that would take anyway? I think it's better just to make a map thats compatible... with some kinda editor...

That would be extrelemy hard. Neer imposible. You would have to have to make the pc map into the same "language" as the X-Box versions. And you would have to change the textures wich would most likely make the X-Box go into lag because the textures are of alot higer quality. You would be pushing the x-box a bit beyond it's limits by doing that.

actually, it is impossible. some ways into the dev of HPC, I read a comment by a gearbox guy about having to redo some weapons, scen, something, to make it compatible with the lighting effects found in the game. same models, just some different shaders im PRETTY sure.
Either way, it's impossible right now.
