You need the following programs

1) Entity

Step 1: Open up your MP map in Entity.

Step 2: Open up the campaign map that has the jackal shield in it, I used deltaaproach.

Step 3: Go to the weapon tag in the campaign map and click on jackal shield and then click the checkboxes parsed and recursive and then click save then it will say done.


Step 4: Now close the single player map and go to the mp map. In the mp map choose build and locate the .info of what you just saved.

Step 5: Now in your MP map go to the weapon tag and click on the jackal shield that you just moved into it.

Step 6: Open the Meta editor and choose show unknowns.

Step 7: Scroll down to FP models then in the drop down box to the right there should be a 0 and a 1 in it make sure you have it one 1.

Step 8: Now change the mode to "objects\weapons\melee\jackal_shield\fp_jackal_shield\fp_jackal_shield" without quotes.

Step 9: Now change the jmad to "objects\characters\mastercheif\fp\weapons\pistol\fp_plasma_pistol\fp_plasma_pistol".

Step 10: Now fix map signature, resign, and ftp to your Xbox.


I used stars45 tutorial as a template cause I was to lazy to type the whole thing.

yeah i know what you mean that your too lazy some people cant do it using only entity so i was like what the heck might as well

I think its better using entity than insolence, But I like Insolence, better for gemini and relic :0 But I also Liek entity, they need to make a newer version of it, like Its similar to insolence, but more noob friendly, for newbs, I aint complaning but I had this newb message me saying


Newb: " Is Entity a Modding Program "
Me: yes it is
Newb: " Is it better than Insolence "
Me: Yes it is
Newb: " How do you even Use Insolence "
Me; Go to my site www.GodzofHalo.com then go to forums, you will find tuts on it, or go to www.Halomods.com "
Newb: "Ok But another question is, What does FTP mean, Cause I see that In alot of tuts and I dont know what it means "
Me: " It means File Transfer Protocale "
Newb: " One last thing, How do you mod, do you put maps onto your Action Replay? "

Me: Bye Bye now

This took place on xbox live, and Three other sites, and It was the same person.

when i try to open bloodgulch.map it says:


Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

Unable to read beyond the end of the stream.
_________ ________ ____

and when I click continue nothing happens. What do I do?

Do you have in-game screens, or could you get any?

ok every time i try to open a map it says "main menu- map not found" of "sp_shared-map not found" so i tried opening the sp shared, main menue and then the maps i wanted and tht worked. but when i went to save the jackle sheild it would save "sp_shared -map not found" again. Either i need more specific instruction on using entity or i seriously messed something up. What do I do?

Step 6: Open the Meta editor and choose show unknowns.

is this the "Show Unknowns" portion?



I changed the view to Meta Editor but i can't find where im supposed to select "Show Unknowns"

Goto tools > show... > check show all > ok

thanks man...that helped...just hope injectiong this shield won't mess up my skins like it did last time (used incolence)

meh...not bright enough to swap using entity...so i just use it to transfer the shield from single player into zanzi, then used dothalo for the .itmc swap with the sword...

when i look in weps tag jackel shild isnt there ( im using old mombasa

good tut but i can't find the jakel shield i can't find it in the map when im playing

i got the jackelshield in the map but i cant pick it up :/

I got the same problem, I cant pick it up.

Nice bump. Make sure you do it EXACTLY how it says to do it because I did this once and it worked fine.

Ok I followed it exactly and I swapped the Itmc with the sword. I found it but I still can't pick it up.

-edit-
Ok so I got it to work. The thing u have to do, for anyone else having issues, is u need to be holding any dual weapon, then walk over to the shield and press "y". U'll pick it up.
