ive thought about that^^ but the problem with the mainmenu is increasing the sbsp size will move a lot of stuff and could result in messed up bitmaps etc hope it works though

edit: oh you mean so you can play on the menu bsp...thats been done but its not playable because of lack of collision...

lol, I know everything you just said. However, thats where creativity comes in and when a person has to make bases up in the air sort of like HSM's mod. Also, check out the first page and read at the very top! I now have a savefile project just for halomods bsp conversions!

Please don't make patches for every single bsp and upload them for all to download. That just makes everything way to easy and invites everyone to become even more lazy in making mods...

Well actually it helps out so much more than you think. Because I just went from my awesome computer down to my grandparents computer (you can read about it in my sig) and I could barely use the programs. So, all we would have to do is download the patch and apply to the map and then move the spawns.

Thus removing the need to use the programs, for one of their main features... I don't think I'd like a program I made to collect dust because if all the maps were rebuilt, patched, and released, it would defeat the purpose of that huge feature. Besides, that's what everyone is basically using it for ATM. I'm not trying to start an arguement. Just stating my opinion. My thanks for treating it as an opinion instead of a complaint and flaming/getting angry over it.

Ok, I see what you are saying and I agree. however, I still think this is a good idea for the people with slow computers, although I may just be wasting my time. Also, someone important must have thought it was important because it got stickied :wink:

Dude, I can't get H2Core to work. I won't ever get a chance to mod a sp bsp if willing people like xthirst, xzodia, and the others did not convert the maps for us. Maybe its too easy, but who cares man? Some people are not as fortunate as others.

And like was said, H2Core/H2G can be used to do a lot more than just converting a BSP. Add weather, water, rebuild a map that's corrupted/improper etc...

Nice idea on the savefile project. Too bad the file is removed after 30 days. I'm sure a lot of conversions won't be downloaded and so the list will end up with dead links relatively fast...

Is there any other file hosting site that doesn't have an expiry date that would be suitable for this thing?

^^don't think so, normally i would have made an ftp upload to my stie for sometihng like this but i don't have enough space to hold so many big patchs

each patch is about 50mb i think... and each sp map has about 3/4 bsps so we're talking over 1GB

Well, actually, that reminds me. I do have an FTP site with 80GB from one of my best friends. Also, he will give anyone here a free site.

Go to http://www.halo-network.com/
But right now, I don't see where you are supposed to sign up for a site.

Just go to my forums from him - http://www.halo-network.com/mthalo

and post in the very last section named "Need/Want a site?"

I can understand that. So that's why this thread is better than just making a new thread with every single bsp converted and ready to be patched to a mp map. My apologies, I just don't see that as being helpful. Just more lazy.

just letting you guys know that this BSP is down: -[scenarios\solo\04a_gasgiant\alphagasgiant

if someone has that could they reupload the patch or could they send me it.

And if anyone wants to convert this BSP it would be great

If someone would like to compile a list of all the bsp's with their respective downloads, i'll host them on my website for the foreseeable future.
