Re: Halo 3 Mods: A Tutorial on Halo 3 Modding for Beginners

here is the thing i have downloaded XPort360 and Sandbox but I am unable to download Container Edits. Trying to do so takes me to Microsoft Application Search. I can also not download any of the CON Resigners or CON Hashers (the pages do not load up) so any help would be appreciated to fix this before my Xsata arrives tomorrow.

I went to Xboxsoftmodz to get the .map files and noticed all the campaign maps there too. What can I do with them? (mod?)

You can't mod Campaign. They put them there as part of the complete collection.

Re: Halo 3 Mods: A Tutorial on Halo 3 Modding for Beginners

The forge application, Is it for forging of modding? I tried using it and it was difficult.

Forge is pretty simple...

It's for modding.

Download the newest Sandbox. It doesn't require the .maps.

Question Re: Halo 3 Mods: A Tutorial on Halo 3 Modding for Beginners

Im having a problem with Sandbox. I am able to open my usermap file but when I open it, Sandbox shows no files. All the slots are empty Could there be anything I have done wrong.?
All I have done is created a map (obviously) and used Container Edits to open the usermap from the Xport and used the Extract Sandbox from Container. Then i open it in Sandbox and nothing is there! Anyone know whats going on?
Thanks
