Heyyo,

ppf-o-matic, it's a program to extract ppf archives, usually used for HaloCE custom maps. How you use it? dunno, havn't bumped into a map that needs it. :p

wow MaRd, i have never seen you so wrong. is it possible that i know something you don't?
PPF-o-matic is used to let you play modded maps on halo xbox or halo PC. (it has nothing to do with custom edition) it basacaly allows you to patch, or 'add on' to amap, therefore it allow you to apply a mod which adds a few new things to a mod; like, for instance, a flyable pelican on, let's say, bloodgultch.
anywho, to use PPF-O-MATIC
step 1. get a mod. they are usualy on sights like this in .ppf form http://files.halomods.com
step 1.5 BACK UP YOUR MAP FILES: just copy the folder in your c:/...../Halo directory labeled 'MAPS' and paste it somewhere you'll rember
step 2: save the mod as a .ppf file somewhere you'll rember it (note: if it's rar and not .ppf, you'll need to extract it, by means of winrar) or if it's just .map, plact it directly in your maps folder (C:/....../Halo/maps)
step 3: open PPF-O-MATIC(god that's annoying to write over and over again).
You should see two bars. for the top one, press brouse, and locate the .map file in your C:/...../halo/maps directory you want to mod (will usaly have the same or similar name as the .ppf file)
on the bottom bar, click browse for the .ppf file, and whe you find it, the big box on the bottem will fill up with infomation.
step 4: press 'apply'
step 5: repeate process for all othe PPF files you have for this paticular mod
step 5: play the mod
