Update!

Well I have good news and bad news!

my first test was to test the files i used to make the disk on my xbox1
everythang went exactly the same

the same maps that worked on teh xbox360 worked on the xbox1
and the same maps that would not load on the xbox360 would not load on teh xbox1
but i then ran the maps with the orig default.xbe file and then all of the mps loaded exept
needelnosey

so its a problum with the default.xbe file

i still dont know what patches wear used to in the default.xbe file for the halocce mappack
the only patch im aware of is the one for the larger maps but still thease mps are not to big
so i dont see whay thay would hve used it

i still dont know if a default.xbe file useing the large map support patch will boot on the xbox360 as i have no disks to test it with atm!

in other news i hve dont my first haloce to xbox1halo map conversion after trying with some of my owen mps and not haveing any luck i sucsessfuly converted the map pyromid and got it working on my xbox1 yay!

tobad it was full of errors!
it seams that teh errors wear infact caused buy the program Arsenic because im useing a beta version thare are still meny bugs to be worked out!

the errors consisted of
1.the flamethrower did not show up in the map at all.
2.rocket lancher had texture errors.
3.sniper rifle had texture errors. the texture on the sniper rife looked to me liek the bump map for teh helth pack weard
4.helth pack had texture errors.
5. the hole map had texture errors all over teh place red and yellow sploches everyware
6. no veachals showed in game but i beleve that is only because i did not edit teh globals file
only because im new to this conversion process.

well back to testin!
i will update you more later!

sory about the typos and spelling errors looks like i need to go buy my 200th keybord!
my a button keeps sticking!

Edit I am in need of dvd box art if anyones up for making some for halo cce (custom conversion edition) & the kmp map pack as i will be trying to get thease map packs to work on teh xbox360 as well.

With this spelling i'm not surprised he didn't get the good maps working :|

ok well i know this is a bit fast but hear is the map line up!

1*INU!-bloodgulch--------------Nemesis
2*INU!-wizerd------------------Pantheon
3*INU!-chirlonTL34-------------Prodigy

10*INU!-hangemhigh-------------Fissure falls
11*INU!-chillout---------------Delta Ruins
12*INU!-carosel(aka derilict)--Camtrack Arena
13* bordingaction--------------Training day

thease maps wear picked from all the relesed mappacks and tested with a normal default.xbe file

my tests show that thease maps will work flawlessly on the xbox360 console
all maps are alredy completed and tested so this project was very quickly put together
im just finishing up the ui.map now. the hui customizer application im working with is a bit of a pain. anyway then I need to edit a weapon spawn on Prodigy & then I will be bulding the 7.5 gig xbox360 game image from scratch and should be done sometime hopefully in the next 24.hr's

i will probly release a xbox1 compatable image as well.
along with both ntsc and pal versions of the game for both consoles!

right now I need someone to help! post a good pic of the map Training day for the main menu ! something without a wepon being held in the picture.
Edited by jackrabbit on Jul 27, 2009 at 11:29 PM

Waiting for that release.
Will test on Hitachi, BenQ and Lite-on, 1.4,.1.51 and 1.6

Training day?:

thanks scott!
UPDATEA!

Well im on the tip of the ice hear now!
I have created the map pack and just put it on my xbox1 for the first beta tests
my ui is missing 3 map pictures.
I cant seam to make new ones for the maps i didnt get from map packs

Courrupted !
Delta ruins
& Training day

it sems when I save a new dds file with photoshop it turns out the wrong size and i cant save after I inport the new dds file
so i just put a ? on thease maps for now hopefully i can fix that soon
also i wanted to share that the maps that i cut from the map pack that also booted with a default.xbe file are
================= Reason =====================================
hugeass-----------------------------to big
hang,em-----------------------------to normal -------------
fortress tower------------------------to small
immure -------------------------------hole in the bsp so x
asention-------------------------------missing part of the map & other reasons
blockfort-------------------------------maby ill use it in a nintendo map pack
ls3 -------------------------------------pour gameplay & texturing------
beachassault ----------------------------map contains ai bots
& rainbow road----------------------------maby ill use it in a nintendo map pack
4 more and we have are selfs another map pack full of fail! but I have 3 words!
=================================

/_/\_\ |_|)_) \_\/_/ /_/\_\333 -666 --000
================================
=================================
==================================

I see a nintendo map pack in the near future!

anyway

First beta test went ok. Traning day didnt load I think I can fix that
2 or 3 maps need editing a couple texture errors on wepons
nothing realy that bad.

After I fix thease erorrs and hopfuly get thease three new ui pics in my ui we will have a great new mappack!

also i wanted to state the mappacks i tested

Halo 1 Conversions MapPack <----none of thease maps could not be tested at all due to the ui being so diffrent. But I will be doing more testing with this mappack later.

Halo 1 CustomConversionEdition
Halo 1 HaloMaps v1
Halo 1 HaloMaps v2
Halo 1 Halokmp
Halo 1 HaloNMP2 & CXE1
Halo 1 HaloNMP-Cut
Halo 1 HaloAI <----did'nt test this one yet!

& Then thares Courrupted ,Deltaruins & Training day
thease maps are new thay wear not in any mappacks I beleve.
So if you ever wanted to play thease maps on your xbox360 this is the game your gona want
as it has all bootable maps that can work on the xbox360 aside from the ones I cut!


Edit ok trainingday loads now so all maps load yay!

Final map list!
1*Nemesis
2*Pantheon
3*Prodigy
4*Tranquility
5*Corrupted
6*Chiller
7*Splinter
8*Delta Station
9*Astroid
10*Fissure falls
11*Delta Ruins
12*Camtrack Arena
13*Training day

and the new custom ui map in the works!
Edited by jackrabbit on Jul 28, 2009 at 04:02 PM

so when can we expect the .dvd for the 360?

after i work out the bugs and finish the ui then buld the image.
soon hopefully!

hay scott
can u retake that pic of training day
the bottom one with out the tree in the way?
Edited by jackrabbit on Jul 28, 2009 at 04:05 PM

wait, so your gonna be selling some kind of disc with these maps?

He can't sell them. That would be illegal. And yes he can put it on a CD.

No im not selling anythang it will be free but you will have to pay for the blank DVD+R DL to burn the game to play it on the xbox360
you will also need a DVD+R DL compatable dvd burner to burn the game
& a fw moded xbox360 to play the game.
A blank DVD+R DL roughly cost around $2.25 depending on the quality of media you burn it to.
However Xbox1 owners can simply ftp the game files to thare harddrives & play with out a disk. But for xbox36o owners a disk is the only option!
The great part about this map pack is its compatable with teh xbox360 & if you owen both consoles you can have a nice lan party & also blow up xlink kai & xbconnect!
thats what im hopeing for anyway!

Edit ok i just need a better picture of training day and the pics will be in the main menu
can someone post a beter picture please!

without a rock or a tree takeing up the hole picture!
Edited by jackrabbit on Jul 28, 2009 at 05:33 PM

Tomorrow I can grab a picture for you, guys night tonight.

ok thanks agin scott

hay dose anyone know a good program to edit the intro.bik file?
i have a good moded one but the music is not working on
the xbox and it need some editing
but i dont knwo what program would edit it?

Wouldn't you need a chipped 360 to play burned disks? Because chipped 360s can't play on LIVE else a certain banhammer from Microsoft comes striking down...

No. The DVD Drive needs a firmware flash.

I do it for $35+shipping

Edit: Pics
Take your pick





Edited by Scott on Jul 29, 2009 at 09:31 AM

well, when you said a modded 360, you mean i have to take my 360 and mod it somehow?

lets keep the xbox360mods out of this post i dont want it locked for breaking any rules
we dont condone piricy hear at halomaps

i recomend upgradeing your fw to ix1.6
tutorials on how to do this can be found all over the internet
try xbox360iso.com k

lets move on!

so the last day and a 1/2 i have ben working hard on my new ui
very hard i might add when i should be out looking for a job
none the less i figured id take a break and finaly post a real update with some screen
shoots of the ui i am working on
my logo is just a beta i still have lot of editing to do so it will look better
my ui is pritty much halo reach theme'd!
I used the halo reach logo to make mY logo and I used a Burning planet bitmap from nmp
but thease thangs may change

im sory for thease horible pictures i dont have a capture card so i used my phone camera
also the pics wear taken on a very old tv at very low rezolution
the final masterpeace will be looking much better than what you see in thease pictures
but i just figured id show you guys some pictures so you guys know im not hear playing games~

also wanted to tell you that i may be removing the map splinter
so i may have an empty slot to fill

remember thease are just beta pictures of me testing!






Pleae read the thread before you post so i dont need to quote myself!


Edited by jackrabbit on Jul 29, 2009 at 02:37 PM

Well after spending quite a few days on my new ui logo its finaly in my ui all sexy and perfect
What do you guys think?



Also im still in need of a program to edit the .bik intro file
infact im now looking for someone to make a new bik files for the game


intro.bik
credits.bik
attract3.bik
attract2.bik
attract1.bik

so im gona need some one to make some moves also im gona need to beta testers soon to!
i do have a nice little moded intro video that i downloaded from halomods but it needs editing
well its nice and i want to use it but the music dose not work when i put it on my xbox
it dose play on my pc fine so im gessing the xbox just dosent like the music in the file im hoping to fix it nd it also needs to be cut at the end because it just sits at a black screen for like 10 seconds be4 the ui loads !

if anyone can help with this stuff that would be great!

Edit:ok i have the music working in my new intro.bik file now im gona install adobie premeare and see if i can some how cut the blackness part out of the end

on another note i have just compiled a new bloodgulch map for testing with all my cusom scenary from hek from the last 10 years or so i see lot of my custom textures have errors
insted of displaying my texture it displays one from the level on my new model and if i move around the model the texture randomly changes its very weard i know that has nothing to do with the map pack but if i can figure out why arcinic is not likeing custom textures then maby the maker can relese a more stable relese wich would be great!

i hope my map pack will get more people to join halomaps i know teh community is dieing right now and im hoping that when i relese this maby it will be good for the community and get more new people in hear i love this web site so much and halo1 its teh best game ever ok well im off to test out my new bg conv bbl !

thay have to be cool!

after i got the maps bugs worked out im shure someone can do some filming and then use that footage to make a nice attract video! but if you have anythang cool you can use that

Edited by jackrabbit on Jul 30, 2009 at 04:40 PM

Was unable to fix your video, after going through it again, the video/audio gets choppy in some places.

Add me on msn: scottsxbox2@hotmail.com

Well it seams getting this halo reach anouncement traler in my ui was a project all in it self
after me and scott converted the file about 5 times each with diftent audio and compression settings its finaly part of my ui !
and all my texture errors are gone!

however my intro video still needs some work!
Edited by jackrabbit on Jul 30, 2009 at 09:46 PM

I will fix the intro if i get time, If you finish before i get a chance then hooray.
