Hey all,

So I was messing around with HCE, and decided to change the ui. Simple enough right? Well, it seems there's something of a predicament. I changed up the .map files, and nothing happened. So I decided to be a smart@ss to my computer, and deleted any ui file from my computer and starting HCE, hoping for an error message. But no! The game runs with that same &@$%! default ui. So what's the issue with my ghost ui file? Thanks for the help!

Are you sure its the right directory of halo ce? Maybe you have maps saved somewhere else (I remember someone had same problem and maps were located in appdata or so.. cant really remember).

You might want to check your compatibility files, they may have the default ui.map file and are probably preventing your new ui.map from overwriting.

To check, go to the maps folder where you place your Halo CE maps, then look for a button called "Compatibility files" near the top of your Windows Explorer window. Click on it, and if the ui.map is there delete it.
Close the Explorer window, and open a new one and get back to the Halo CE maps folder. Overwrite the ui.map there with your new ui.map (you should get a UAC prompt telling you to confirm this action, if you haven't touched the default UAC settings and/or disabled it), then start Halo CE up and tell us what you see.

That did the trick. Thanks
