How to get a map to load in Halo MD

Post by GeorgeWKush » Wed Dec 21, 2016 1:07 pm

So I downloaded a map called Area 51 and i took the file and put it in the proper Maps folder (Not the DoNotModify folders, the one we're supposed to put it in) And when I open HaloMD and try to create a game it doesn't show up with the other maps, help?

If it's a Halo Custom Edition map, is has to be converted to the HaloMD format (Halo PC + identifer_build name format). Use Pearl to do this. Pearl will automatically add it to your maps folder.

Also, do not touch or modify the DoNotTouchOrModify folders as what you think they do and what they actually do are probably not the same thing. If you want to directly access your maps folder, open HaloMD, click Mods (menu bar) -> Reveal Mods in Finder. Alternatively, you can invoke it with Shift+Command+M.
