Wazzup you guys? Sorry I haven't been posting lately - but I got caught up in playing with pros on xbl! =)

I also got a new computer! SPECS - 3.0ghz w/HT , 1GB RAM , 160 GB HDD, 256mb Graphics Card, and a 17" HD flat-panel screen!

Anyways, I hear a few of you guys are having problems with entity. Well, I have a newer version of entity that you guys can download plus some other downloads that you have to have to use this newer version. I will also list some of the things that you should do if you are still having problems! Here we go...

New Entity - http://www.freewebs.com/drxthirst/Entity%201.3.7.rar
.NET Framework v1.1 - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...&displaylang=en

.NET Framework v2 - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...&displaylang=en

(Yes, you do need both versions)

Now, I want you to do a few things before you start modding with entity.

I will tell you exactly how I have my computer set up.

1st - Go to My computer , then double - click on C: Drive. Then, create a folder named "Clean Halo 2 Maps". Now, put every single clean halo 2 map in that folder.

2nd - Go to your desktop and right-click , then hit new folder. Name that folder "Modding".

3rd - Go into the modding folder and create a new folder named "Modded Maps". Copy Mainmenu.map, Shared.map, and Single_Player_Shared.map into that folder.

4th - Go back into the modding folder and create 2 new folders. Name one of them Programs and the other one Patches. Put all of your programs inside the program folder and all of your sppf, ppf, and serenity patches inside the patches folder.

-Now everything is organized-

Now, every time that you want to mod a map, go into the clean maps folder, copy the map, then go back into the modded maps folder and paste it. That way, you will always have clean maps in case you mess up or want to make another mod.

NOW YOU SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEMS!!!

Well, im not sure exactly whats wrong then. Try downloading them both again (.Net 1 and 2) and re-installing them again. Sometimes, they get messed up.

Killtrocity map pack is a package of about 40 great mods. Some maps that look like they are completely rebuilt. You can get it at http://files.halomods.com

Open up the folder and enter the registry key. Then open your original maps folder and do this

THE MAPS YOU NEED TO PUT IN THIS DIRECTORY ARE:

-ASCENSION.map
-COAGULATION.map
-FOUNDATION.map
-HEADLONG
-IVORY TOWER.map (CYCLOTRON.MAP)
-LOCKOUT.map
-MIDSHIP.map
-WATERWORKS.map
-ZANZIBAR.map


(NEW MAPS)
-CONTAINMENT.map
-ELONGATION.map
-GEMINI.map
-RELIC.map (DUNE.MAP)
-SANCTUARY.map (DELTATAP.MAP)


_____________________+
15 CLEAN MAPS IN TOTAL

After you do that, run the serenity autopatcher. While it's running get the Halo 2 default.xbe, fonts folder, and media folder off your H2 disc and onto your computer. When it's done patching it will ask if you want to ask if you want to auto resign them. say yes. When it's done auto resigning, look in the modded maps folder and there should be a whole bunch of maps there. Make a copy of the maps you are going to use for the remaining patches. Then do this.

get ascension.map rename into > Halo_Derby.map
get coagulation.map rename into > Selan_Forest.map
get lockout.map rename into > Cassiopeia.map
get lockout.map rename into > Infection.map
get zanzibar.map rename into > Infiltration.map
get zanzibar.map rename into > Lakeside.map
get gemini.map rename into > Satans_Crypt.map

Go to the remaining patches folder and extract the sppf out of each rar file. Open superppf and apply the mods. Then use encryptomatic signature to resign them. Create a folder in your apps folder under E called killtrocity. Put the default.xbe in there, the media folder, and create a folder called maps and put the fonts folder in there. Under the maps folder Transfer all the maps you modded plus shared.map. Wait for it to transfer. When it's done, go into E\TDATA\4d530064\$u and rename the three things in there to have a 2 at the start so the autoupdate won't load. Then play it off of your xbox HD.

WOW TY i havnt don it yet but i hav tried something like this but failed all the times i tried and just gave up, hopefully this will work for me ty

1.) Don't mod your 360. It's stupid.

2.) To get the old maps you have to go to your modded dashboard and put in the Halo 2 disc, but don't start the game. Then, FTP to your xbox and go to the "D" folder. You should see Maps, Media, Bink, Default.xbe, downloader.xbe and a few other .xbe's. However, the maps are in the "Maps" folder. Make sure you get mainmenu, shared and singleplayershared. Also, I have to go cut grass, be back in a few hours.
