By "halo ce" do you mean Halo PC or Custom Edition. If Custom Edition, you can't run a PC map in CE.

When did you get this corrupt data error? If it was when you tried to run it in PC, it was an exception error. If you didn't back up your maps you'll have to re-install Halo.

You can't just make Halo PC maps into Halo CE maps using that program, there is more to it then that, what you need to do, if you're going to make mods for CE, you need to learn how to use HEK, and make new Bloodgulch maps with HEK with your mod.

I use Spark Edit a lot when editing items and start points in the maps and HMT HEK when editing weapons. I have a few good mods for bloodgulch and I'm not horrible at modding (can't create skins, can just edit abilities and effects)

You do not "MOD" maps in Halo CE - You can not use any of the various hacking tools you used with Halo PC to create maps for Halo CE (Custom Edition). You will need the Halo Editing Kit (HEK) to create and compile maps. There is a third party tool (HEK+ or HEK Plus) that will allow you to decompile maps for editing in with the HEK tool set. Once edited you have to compile them for use. Also you MUST maintain version control meaning BGV1.map, BGV2.map...etc because Halo CE checks to see if the checksum of the map on the server is the same as the one on your PC. Halo PC does not.
