Hmm I have things exactly as in that picture you posted....You don't have to do anything weird to the picture after you save it and before you inject it do you, like how you have to sign the maps and stuff like that? Also, the picture starts out as a jpeg when i open it up in photoshop, that couldn'...

OK, i realized it wasn't at 256, it was at like 341 or 441 or something like that....However it was still a power of 2 so doesn't seem like it should matter. Oh well, it saved fine anyway. NOW, when I inject it, it shows up all messed up.....Like, the bottom of the pictures starts about a third of t...

Trying to Inject Map Preview Images...

I have photoshop CS2 and I installed the dds plugin and am trying to convert a jpeg file to a dds file. I saved it using the settings somebody showed on here in a screen capture of the nvidia dxt thing.....And people wrote thanking him so I assume those settings are correct. What happens is it keeps...

Adding Map Preview Pics

Does anybody know of any tutorials about the whole process that you could direct me to? If not, my biggest question is...Is there any particular size or dimensions anything that the pictures have to be converted to? I know they have to be converted to dll files but that's all I know...

I just checked and there aren't any options in the halo menu having to do with auto sign in or something, and i can't try to sign into xbox live cause there aren't any accounts registered. It just gives me the option of st arting a new account or not logging in

It does this with a completely fresh mainmenu. I deleted all halo related stuff, even mimesis and extra maps and everything and recopied halo onto the hdd and with a brand new halo it still freezes. I thought about that xbl thing...but this xbox has never been used to connect to xbox live. Also, in ...

hmm i was under the impression that maps in your tdata folders were a completely separate thing from ones in your maps folder....Like, you could fill up all 49 slots in dothalo plus have as many maps in tdata as you wanted

Mimesis Maps Disappearing

I downloaded the mimesis maps a few weeks ago and it worked great, everything was fine, until I downloaded a map pack recently and installed that...and they ALL disappeared at first. The map pack came with duplicates of mimesis maps, so i erased all those, plus a few i didn't care for much and remov...

Changing Intro Words

Does anybody know how to change the words on the main menu screen in halo 2 where it normally says Halo 2 in the middle of the screen while it zooms around the blue foggy city? I downloaded a map pack that changed it to something else, which gave me an idea for my own title.

Halo 2 Launcher Not Working

I recently installed the Halo 2 Launcher app which lets you select whether you want to run 1.0 or the 1.1 AU version when you start up halo. It sort of works....1.0 goes into 1.0 correctly, and when I go into 1.1 it says 1.1 in the corner of the screen, but when i go to my maps, I can't see any of t...

Adding More Maps

I have used up all 49 slots available in Dothalo. Is it possible to add more maps still, and if so, how?? Thanks.

Well I've seen a couple people saying they did it....I downloaded a map pack that was supposed to add that as well, but it gave me a dirty disk error so I installed the maps all one by one without using their autopatcher and so I didn't get it. :(

Excuse me? What do you mean? If you just don't like halo modding, I was refering to modified maps and adding options like multiple tanks and stuff like that. I don't don't cheat or anything like that.
