Hey guys... The only thing that I havent seen done with Halo CE is a ability to play standard PC campaign with your friends online... I've looked and looked and cant seem to find anyone that has accomplished this task. I tried just renaming the map files and inserting them in Halo CE you'd think they'd work but they dont you just get and error and Halo will eject you from the game entirely and shutdown.

Anybody wanna know of a way to play these maps Halo PC with your with your friends?

My friend and I are just about ready to try an experiment and see if it works... Here's the scoop. Im going to try and get the server to think I'm running a standard map on multi-player PC. I'm going to take a30.map and rename it to putput.map and see if it will work. The reason that I recieved and error from loading the map into Halo CE is it was missing adeqate file support. I believe that by leaving in the same gaming foudation that this map will still be able to run. I'll let you all know if it works.

Well .. it failed. when I renamed the file a30.map to putput.map it said that the file was corrupted and prompted me to reinstall Halo PC. The problem was promptly fixed by reversing the experiment.

The Campaign won't work online because scripting info doesn't get sent over the netcode. The only way scripting will work is if it happens at the same time on both the client and server, which can only be done by proximity, and a few other ways, but not enough to do the SP scripting stuff.

The AI do not sync. If you wanted to play Co-op, you would have to enter a map with AI at the EXACT same time. Even if you went to "New Game" and selected the map, it won't work. Anyways, triggers are impossible over the internet, on Halo PC.
