Map load error

today, i modded coagulation for Halo 2 in Dot Halo. I ran it through a map resigner as well as clicking "fix encoding" in Dot Halo, but when I put in my Multiplayer Game Disk (backup of Halo 2 with only multiplayer content on it) i get a "You failed to load the map" error for Coag, but all the other non-modded maps work fine. what has gone wrong here? (yes my xbox is softmodded). any help would be appreciated!

 

hey i was having the same problem, and i still have it, but i have a question for u. How do you mod the old maps?

woah sry didnt mean to post it twice.

 

Okay you can mod the old maps by copying HAlo 2 to the Hard Drive

And for the otha dude did you use ENCRYPTOMATIC SIGNATURE? and if not go to http://www.halomaps.com and get it

 

i tried to do it once but my e: drive wasnt big enough. wat if i just cleared out some stuff, or do i need to buy a bigger hd? and i did the encryption signature thing because im having the same prob, and it still wouldnt work.

 

clear out some stuff or get rid of the maps NO ONE EVER PLAYS like Collosus

 

but most of the stuff i have there is like backups and stuff that is like system required

 

u mod the old maps by ftping w/ halo 2 in and then rip the game and then just like u would the new maps.

 

copy the game to your comp not to the xbox hd

 

o thanks goose, i didnt know u could do that. but will i be able to play on xbox live with the halo 2 on my com thingy, not to cheat in matchmakin, but to play with it in customs

 

thats fine; but bungie can see that u r using modded maps even in customs and they will ban u from matchamking regardless; just a heads-up.

Q: My friends and I want to try out some new modified content we got from a friend. It's ok to do this as long as we only play custom games, right?
A: No. Using hacked or modified content of any sort, whether it's a custom or matchmade game, will result in you getting banned. We do not condone anyone tampering with the actual game that we shipped and doing so is a sure fire way to get banned. Attemping to use hacked Xboxes on Live is also grounds for having your entire gamertag permanently canceled. Also please note, that due to the "Live Aware" nature of Halo 2, you could get banned even for using these files over system link, if one of your boxes is still attached to the internet. The best thing to do is just steer clear of any of these hacked files and stick to the game that we intended for you to play.

Q: How can I avoid being suspended or banned?
A: Just follow the rules. Some people throw all social graces out the window when playing, but they need to realize that there are consequences for bad actions. If you and your team play fair, then you'll have uninterrupted gaming pleasure on Xbox Live.

Frankly, I dont care if u cheat, just letting u know how Bungie sees it... Hope this helps ;0

 

idk if any1 has already said this but have u tryed NOT resigning the old maps when u mod them? u can try that and see if it works. didnt read the whole thread to see if any 1 said that but if u still need help, its an idea. so just try fixing the encryption in dothalo and then try the map, see if that works.

 

I tried fixing encryption on dothalo and i too am still getting the message "you faild to load the map"

 

ok well if its a new map, then u HAVE to resign it. If its an old one, then dont resign it. You can try this. If it dont work, make sure its not a ppf and make sure u are putting it in the right place. Check the map name also, and when u send it, if softmodding, go back and make sure that when u sent it, it doesnt have a space in it, if it does delete the other one and then rename the one u modded. If you need any help add me on MSN Kluak001@hotmail.com

(those are zeros)

everytime i send it when my xbox is in the dashboard, it makes a space in it so u might want to check that.

 

RESIGN THE FRIGGIN MAP...DAMN.

 

use the Serenity resigner. works like a dream every time

 

god all i wanted to do was change a few weapon apperences and it says failed to load map.. so how do you resign it?

 

ok, after you have modded it, open Serenity
Then have all the file paths pointing to the right places; it's pretty self-explanatory, then hit resign or whatever, then make sure you copy over the modded map and mainmenu.map i think... it's been a while since i did this; been real busy lately, no time for modding

 

na.. CMR is better at it... its fast n easy
