Run Fast And Throw Objects
1 Open up map in dothalo
2 Scroll down to the matg tag and click on it
3 You can now change the run and crouch speed for you character in the map
4 If you click on the dependencies window behind the tag editor window their will be a 2 proj tags for frags and stickies
5 Change those to anything from the bipd,vehi,scen,proj,mach,weap,eqip
6 There you go you now have grenades on spawn to whatever you want and you also have run and crouch fast
Note, Change all the run boxes to about

Throw Far,Jump High, and Flashlights 1 Open up map in dothalo
2 Click on the bipd tag
3 You can change the grenade throwing speed,jumpheight, and if you want your spartan with a flashlight or not
Note, 100 throwing speed and 15 jump height is what I use and it is just right and I use the flashlight which helps on dark maps

Modding Out The Weapons 1 Open up map in dothalo
2 Click on the weap tag
3 Click on desired weapon
4 You can click on dual-wieldable at the top in a box to dual-wield anything
5 If you click on the dependencies window and go to projectile you can change that to whatever you want
6 You can also change the hmlt tag which says what the weapon really is so if you change it from a smg to a br in game it will be a br
7 If you scroll down to clip you can change that and I suggest you change all the boxes to 10000 but dont change deplete and recharge ammo if it gives you the option to just the other boxes like starting ammo and clip
8 You can also go down to projectile and change the bullets per shot and rate of fire
9 If you go to the top under deviation angle and auto-aim range change the deviation angles 360 and auto-aim ranges to 400 for auto aim

Drive anything 1 Go to weap tag and change the hmlt of the setinal beam to whatever in the hmlt tag
2 Go to the vehi tag and click on a vehical like warthog,ghost,or Banshee and change the weap tag of it under the dependencies window to setinal beam
3 Go to the Cont tag and go to the vehical tags under the cont tag for whatever vihical you picked and in the dependencies window click on each tag and scroll down to Null to deleat them and do that for every single tag in the cont for the selected vehical
4 Do that same thing you did in step 3 for the Mode,Lens,and Shad tag
5 If completed right the vehical will look like whatever your setinal gun was set at and this works I did this for all my maps on the ghost

Make A Flying Elite Without A Program 1 Open up map in dothalo

You are done and have an elite that flys 20 forward,backward,and side ways

Now you have a heretic banshee that appears like a heretic banshee on everybody elses screen

Off Host Banshee Bombs 1 Open up selected map in dothalo

I've tried the mod "drive anything" but everytime I go to use it in game, the object is floating. I tried changing the height of the warthog's height, but nothing changed. If you can help let me know.
