i have the maps for halo 2 and a modded xbox,my maps didnt come with the installer,whats the installer called?,can i download it,ive looked on nearly every site and cant find it anywhere.help would be very much appreciated.thanks
There is no installer for the Halo 2 maps. You must do everything yourself. First, download these two programs: 1) Encryptomatic Signature (requires .net framework) 2) ppfomatic Once you get those programs, follow this tutorial: Halo-2 needs to be running on your xbox hard drive, and you need a xbox mod chip. FTP into your Xbox to the following directory: /F/Games/Halo 2/maps/ Copy all of the .map files into a folder on your computer. Select all of the .map files, and make a second copy of the maps on your computer. extract the map pack, all files into the same folder Beserker made a kickass auto patcher which is included & has its own readme [for those who like to do things the hard way use ppf-o-matic] [Open PPF-O-Matic, click the "Patch" icon. Browse to the folder where the PPF files are located, select the first PPF in the list. Click "CD Images", and select "All Files" Select the corrosponding .map file. For example, if the PPF file is "beavercreek - craazy_creek.ppf", you need to select the beavercreek.map file Click "Apply" Once the map is patched, you need to rename the .map file to "craazy_creek.map" You need to do this with each PPF file in our Map Pack. I suggest once you're finished each ppf, move the .map and .ppf into a seperate folder.] Once all of the maps are patched, you need to encrypt each .map file using "Encryptomatic Signature" Open Encryptomatic Signature Click "Encryptomatic Signature", then select the patched .map file and click "Open". You need to encrypt each map that you patched. Once you are finished, FTP the .map files back onto your xbox hard drive.
I have a soft-modded xbox, and I want to modify my H2 maps (for fun). I can ftp with my xbox, but i don't know where to find the .map files, or what to do from this point. If someone could show me where a good tutorial is, or explain this to me, that would be much appreciated. I tried to ftp with my xbox while Halo 2 was in the drive, like was previous recommended, but i can't becuase the xbox won't respond.

Ske7ch, I am not to familiar w/ softmodding, but you could try asking your question here, http://minnwild.8.forumer.com/index.php dontcarez, find those two programs here: 1) http://www.halomaps.com/encryptomatic-signature.html 2) http://www.halomaps.com/ppfomatic.html
hey, i own a xcuter 2 modchip and i am able to ftp to my xbox and view the halo2 maps there are two maps in the icon list which do not display in the actual game. 1. foundation here and there appears and dissapears and i have done the right stuff to get it play co-op on last map...... 2. there is a map called cyclotron on there i have never heard of it, or it ever being used. there is definitly a file called cyclotron.map in my halo 2 map sub-folder. i would like to know how to unlock it ..... asap thank you
well, ur right about foundation, its locked unless i think u beat the game or u have xbl and get the updates. what u can do to make sure it shows up on ur menu every time is open it in h2edit and unlock it, resgn it, and put it back in ur maps folder. i think cyclotrops or watever is really another map already on the list tho, its just not matching the name it has in game.
in halo2 key board for making names and stuf... there 2 greyed links called symbols and accents ive tried alot of things to unlock them but the are gryed and the "thing" (that selects the letters etc) wont even go ova it i would like to now how to unlock it asap thank you
ok well i have a modded xbox and i have halo 2 but when i try to connect to the ftp when halo 2 is running... it wont let me connect. it only lets me ftp to my xbox when i am in the xenium menu... what do u mean running on the hard drive?
Running on the HD means that you put Halo2 on your Xbox's upgraded HD, and then play the game off of that. You cannot FTP into the Halo 2 disc, you can only FTP into your Xbox's HD.
Well, yes and no. All of the maps that were not on the original Halo 2 disc (i.e. warlock, turf etc.) are already downloaded to your original Xbox's HD. So you can customize those ones if you would like. But the one's on the disc cannot be customized and played unless you have Halo 2 running from your HD.
so how exactly would i get the game running on my hardrive? can i do it with the original xbox hardrive?
Well, first you would need your Xbox modded in some way, either softmodded or chipped. Then, you would need to put in a larger HD, and either FTP Halo 2 to your HD or get it on there using a program such as DVD2Xbox.
well i do happen to have a modded xbox. I have a xenium spice chip in it. Well i downloaded the new maps.. but i still cant find them when i ftp to the xbox...am i doing something wrong? everytime i try to open a folder (say the C folder) it is empty oh and how exactly would i ftp the game to the hardrive?
