Yes, I know, a newb question, but still.. does anyone know? I've tried just replacing a map with the new one (e.g. name the new map "boardingaction.map"), but that just makes the map inaccessible. Please help!

Aye, I should have mentioned this--I am trying to intall it with Halo for Mac. Is CE the only way to install a new map into Halo?

yup!
Nope!

I don't know the details, but a select few maps have been converted for the Mac platform by some clever modders. NMC and Quagmire are the only maps that I am aware of that have been converted in this way. I am a bit fuzzy on the details, as I've not performed the process myself, but I do remember you having to replace one of the existing maps in order to make it work. Make sure you are downloading the map file from a website that says it is explicitly for the Mac, otherwise you are downloading a map file for Halo custom Edition, which the original version of Halo does not understand.

Well, I have downloaded a few maps (including the PPF files), and something called "Halo Hacking Kit", but I have absolutely no clue as to what to do with them. Also, since HaloDev.org is down (replaced by its forums), I haven't any way to get tutorials or other resources.

Seems a lot of the Halo sites are either experiencing a slowdown or have just stopped... and all as mine is just starting to roll... lol

Well, all I can say is, I hope THIS will help you.

Holy crap! Muffmeister himself! I was linked to your website earlier, and I must say, excellent work on your maps! Though, Halo CE is not available for the Mac (correct me if I'm wrong), thanks anyway!

Have I become well known or something then?...

I apologize to you sir... I didn't read your post properly and, I know, I should have! No, Halo CE is not available for Mac.

Bloody shame though... Sorry. (Not that it's my fault or anything!...)
