Hey, I got a torrent with the files
Quote:
HALO_2_MMP_AWSK.nfo
HALO_2_MMP_AWSK.par2
HALO_2_MMP_AWSK.sfv
HALO_2_MMP_AWSK.part01.rar
HALO_2_MMP_AWSK.part02.rar
HALO_2_MMP_AWSK.part03.rar
HALO_2_MMP_AWSK.part04.rar
HALO_2_MMP_AWSK.part05.rar
Each RAR has a .iso in it, they appear to be all the same, all the iso's have the same file name (HALO_2_MMP_AWSK.iso)
What do I do from here to get these running on my xbox? I've never put maps on my xbox this way, typically I just copy the .map files over, but I'm guessing this is more complex, can someone please guide me through this? If you can help please PM me or AIM me at TuralX18

Ok, I was going through the instructions, and when I FTP in, I already have a "$u" directory. I have the auto update already, what should I do, I extracted the .iso and put it in the "Halo 2 Maps" folder, and I dont see anything about Halo maps installer. Grrr. Any ideas what Im doing wrong?
Also, I just noticed that in Halo 2, in the maps list, I have all the maps, but when I try to go to them I "Failed to load the map"
Whats wrong?

Try deleting everything out of X: Y: and Z: this will not mess up your xbox they are like temporary files like you get on your computer.

I cleared out those directories, tried to run Halo 2, went to the new maps, it sits on "Waiting for everyone to load the map" for about 5 minutes, then still says I failed to load it. This is how my files are on the box, is this right?
E:/Games/Halo 2 Maps/(Files I listed above)
Do I need to extract all of the rar files? If so how do I put them in the folder without overwriting each other, can they be renamed and still work?

sccerguy, where did you find the installer, I dont seem to have one when I do what you told me, also, the maps only show up in the list for me when I am running a modded mainmenu.map
--------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: Someone really needs to just put out a torrent with the actual .map files, for those of us who have the update, we just need the maps, I have the update, so my installer wont run, I just need the maps, someone should just make a torrent of the map files.

yup it is true the French version does not allow you to use these maps instead as somebody mentioned earlier it changes the picture for "lockout" and you cannot play it anymore.Also if u delete the all the files in 4d530064 and copy the content u will not be able to see it unless u make a folder called "$C"

Ok, I have the new 5 maps that i have copied from the actual map pack disc. It works fine on my box (with a mod) but i cant get it to work on my friends box. Everytime it tries to load it gives me a message that says. "No (something) file- B:\xbmedia_something fff is missing" and will not let me load the disc. THis happened even with the real disc. I tried figuring it out how to just copy the stuff from my box on to his but it was to no avail. THe problem seems to be that the evox dash loads up before it tries to autoload the game. I have tried adjusting the auto load feature but still nothing. The box is old and the drive is really slow which allows it to auto default to my dash. This sucks! Does any one have any ideas on what i can do.

This will probably sound dumb but here it goes. If I buy the map pack and I already own Halo 2, Can I just install the maps normally if I have evox with px hdd loader. What does the update do exactly? I wouldnt be asking but I have yet to actually see a thread anywhere that states you can or cant right from the original map disk. Any help would be great.

Just one question?
I have bought the new halo maps a I have installed them, but i can´t play them, when I take a look in the dashboard games folder they do appear as installed but yet can´t play them, but if someone else online or in systemlink put them I can play.
If someone knows what to do to see the maps into my halo menu could answer this please.

okay, i know this has been done to death, and i have read everything, i just cant get this to work.
I download (through a torrent) a file that is supposed to contain the map packs, plus the halo 2 1.1 update.
I extracted the rar, and now have the following files
HALO_2_MMP-AWSK.iso
HALO_2_MMP-AWSK (msninfo doc)
HALO_2_MMP-AWSK.part1 (rar)
HALO_2_MMP-AWSK.part2 (rar)
HALO_2_MMP-AWSK.part3 (rar)
HALO_2_MMP-AWSK.part4 (rar)
HALO_2_MMP-AWSK.part5 (rar)
HALO_2_MMP-AWSK.sfv
I just put the iso into a folder, then ftp to my games folder, and restarted my xbox, and i dont get anything about installing the update,i tried putting it in my halo 2 folder, nothing, i cleaned out the x,y,z folders, and the tdata 4d530064 folder, i deleted my save files. I cant get past the 4th step, cause i dont get that option.
do i need to have the acctually halo 2 disc, or can i be running a copied version (that sits on my hard drive)
or am i missing the update file, that it says i should have??, if so where do i get it. which files do i need to put in the xbox, how many get put on there.
as of now, all i have put on there is the iso file that is 424 megabytes, do i need to burn it to a disc? and how do i do that?

okay, so i downloaded a seperate file that has the halo 2 update. so i now have a folder (once extracted) that is called
4d530064
inside this folder is another folder called $u and a read me
in the $u folder is 3 files
contentmeta.xbx
default.xbe
downloader.xbe
I put this folder ($u) into my xbox, and when i go to load games i have two halo 2's, i have tried both, the top one is the new one ( i doubt thats relevent) i tried it and it says that the disc i am useing is dirty of unreadable or somthing like that. ...so i thought i had it, but am now stuck again.
suggestions please, do i need to have somthing else in my evox software to read files, to i need to make a disc? please help, this is starting to drive me nuts

Keep in mind i had a problem with getting the old 4 maps with the(HALO_2_MMP-AWSK.part) i had to get them from(HALO_2_DSL-AWSK.part)
but the good thing is i have all 9 :)
Follow this guide from Delux..
1.) ftp into your xbox using an ftp app such as FlashFXP and go to E/TDATA/4d530064/
there should be absolutely nothing in this folder. if there is something in there delete it.
2.)you should already have the map pack which is named Halo_2_Map_Packs_XBOX-READNFO-AWSK. extract files.
3.)you should see a folder inside called "map pack". transfer this folder to your game directory of your xbox (this is where all your games are located should be f/ )
4.) restart xbox. go to your game list and you will see "map pack installer"
5.) choose the installer. a sceen will come up with 3 options. choose ONLY AUTO UPDATE!!!
6.)wait for it to say content copied to your xbox.
7.)reboot your xbox
8.)ftp back into the /E/TDATA/4d530064/ folder, u should see $c folder inside.
9.)go into the $c folder and you should see 4d53006400UPDATE folder
10.)Right Click On 4d53006400UPDATE folder, and choose MOVE
amd type /E/TDATA/4d530064/ choose okay.
11.)so now back up into your /E/TDATA/4d530064/ folder and you should see $c and 4d53006400UPDATE folders.
12.)Right Click on the 4d53006400UPDATE folder and select rename and rename it to $u
13.) reboot your xbox.
14.) now select map pack installer on your xbox and choose Bonus Pack.. wait for it to say installation complete.. then choosethe Killtacular Pack.. wait for it to say installation complete.
15.) youre done!
but if the file is ISO... use this guide from Achilles
Do a fresh install. Find the folder 4d530064 in E:/TDATA/ and delete it. Delete the cache in X, Y, and Z folders, and also Halo 2 game saves. Boot Halo 2 up and play, then save the game. Put in the disc that you've burnt and choose "Update" then install the maps. Take out the disc, go back to Evox and use FTP. Check the folder 4d530064 again and you should see a $C folder, inside it there are 3 more folders. Find the folder with the word UPDATE at the end and move it to the same root as the $C folder, and rename it to $u. Reboot Xbox and load up Halo 2, the new maps should appear in Multiplayer mode. If not then I don't know what could be wrong. Unless you have some kind of modified Halo 2 maps installed also, then they might be conflicting each other.
