Subject: How To Install Maps For Halo: Custom Edition

This is a RETICULE, and that is a RETICLE. I'm using the latter to aim. And what are you using?

Many people seem to have problems when trying to install custom maps for Halo:CE, so here's a quick how-to.

Downloaded maps usually are packed either as .RAR archive, or as .ZIP file. In case of a .RAR archive you have to download WinRAR to unpack it.

Independent whether it's a .RAR or .ZIP file, unpack the downloaded file somewhere you find it again easily. Now open the newly created folder with the unpacked file(s), and search for any file(s) with a .MAP extension. If there aren't any files in the folder you just opened except another folder, open it and look in there as well.

Once you have located the .MAP file(s), you have to get them into the ..\maps folder of your Halo:CE installation. If you have installed Halo:CE on its default installation path, the .MAP file(s) go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\maps. Make sure to copy only the actual .MAP files there; copying the whole folder will not work, and copying any other files in there is NOT recommended.

After you're done the path to the new map should be C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\maps\the_new_map.map. And now you're done. :-)

I have installed Halo CE and the custom maps show up in the multiplayer listings. However, when i attempt to enter the server a message comes up Unable to join the game server ? Is this some sort of Weasely ban, or is it another problem ?

Maybe you do not have the correct VERSION of the map, or maybe you did not install them to the correct place. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo CE\maps

or maybe you just have a crappy internet

or maybe u dont have the specific map they need.

Can you see the maps in map selection when making a server in Halo CE? If not, u probably need to put them into the right place.

Did you remember to install the .map files only and NOT the .rar file?

What internet connection do you have??


Do some of these and answer the rest. Then reply.
