Need help first i save the map in sapien i saved it as WierdGulch.map but were do i get the map from i need to put it in my zip.folder but it wont work.

It's in the maps folder. Right click it, and send to a compressed .zip folder. Wait for it to finish. Then, go to:

http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=60

but everytime i build a cache file it dosent appear in the maps folder

Can you play the map in Halo? If it doesn't appear, then it didn't compile correctly, and it won't work.

wait whats a uac on my windows vista

Its called User Account Controls. You know when you try to do something and it asks for your permission? Well that's UAC. You can turn it off in Control Panel. You can also go into your registry, but you seem like a beginner on computers and the way they work.

well because i have a windows vista laptop

Laptop or Desktop. Vista is the same. Except if you are using a 64-Bit Motherboard. I don't think you are using a 64-Bit. Anyways, do you have Administrative privileges on your account to access the Control Panel and change the UAC?

wait so if i take it off it my maps that i created will go in there. how do i turn off uac so that way my maps can go in my maps folder.

I didn't understand the bold. You should also read my question. Do you have permission to access anything in control panel? Like do you get a password required window everytime you want to put a map in the folder, or does it say "Okay" or "Cancel"?

it says uac wants your permission to contiue do you wish to continue

Okay, seeing that you have permission to access the UAC Features. You will need to go to


Start > Control Panel > Security

At the bottom, you will see something that says "Other Security Settings". Go into that and click the link. There should be an Article on how to turn the UAC off. If not in there, try This. http://www.petri.co.il/disable_uac_in_windows_vista.htm

Please read all directions.

k did but when i upload maps on halomaps.org it finisheds uploading then what

You have to wait for Dennis to list it on the site, he usually does it on weekends.

how does he do it

You would have to ask him that question. You will probably get a reply saying "wait until I get to it". I know it sounds harsh, but its the truth.
