Phantom MAPPACK v1 and v2
Assembled by iBotPeaches

What does v1 and v2 mean?
I wanted to start with a large mappack supporting 90 maps. This idea failed once I came to the realization that it was near impossible to have 90 mainmenu previews. I could have 90 maps, just not any mainmenu screenshots. I feel that diminishes the look of a mappack, so I decided to split my mappack into 2 version. Each version has 45 maps, and a mainmenu with previews.

I started this mappack around 3 years ago when the release of Killtrocity 2 was still fresh in the minds of everyone. I wanted to compete, thus I tried to create a mappack by myself. I was a noob and had no clue what I had just started. My DDS previews were aligned wrong, and I had very little knowledge of C# so I stopped, 3 years later I picked up the project to boost Halo 2 modding. Finished finding some mods, made the mainmenu shots and programmed an autopatcher.

The mappack release was orginally set for November of last year. However, after my first BETA test I quickly released that a few mods had issues of freezing, strange noises and others just wouldn't load. I double checked everything, and fixed what I could and replacing mods for others that didn't work. Then the problem of SLC arose. Long story short, I went from 20ish not working to 5.

This mainmenu doesn't compare to Killtrocity 2, or come close to the mainmenus that neodos can make. It does boot the maps which is what I want you to remember. I tried to create a successful mainmenu, but all failed and there was much anger involved. So I simply got a fresh mainmenu and skinned just 3 elements of it. I also removed the blue filter to add to the change.

The autopatcher was a rough project. I tried doing it all from scratch and nothing would work. All I knew was I had to use the serenity calls to take advantage of autopatching. Then I got help from The_Guardians from his Serenity v3.2 autopatcher. This saved me from my pathetic coding structure that didn't even take advantage of reading the serenity patch for the output map. If interested you can view screenshots of my old code, here and here.

I have 3 separate hosters in which you can download. There are 13 parts that totals 1.18gb, but has 90 patches, all programs included for building an ISO, and a special optional bink file. All hosters are hosting the same parts, thus meaning you can download any parts from any hoster and then unRAR them all once you get all 13. Rapidshare, Megaupload and Mediafire are your choices for downloads. Below you will find a list if your trying to load into jDownloader, or hyperlinks if you will be manually downloading. I at first wanted to do a torrent, but I could only find 2 dedicated seeders and that would be at 5kbps and that would take forever. I'll put one up later on, once links seem to die.

(12x95.78mb + 1x69.64mb = 1.18gb)

If you require support, the best place would be at iBotModz (My site) or Remnant Mods, where lots of active H2 modders are. You could try Rework3d (The "good" HaloMods), but not very active there anymore. If you need clean H2 maps, visit http://xboxgamefiles.com

Thanks,
Peaches

Very nice, sad that I couldn't put one map out... though I am still determined to do so... one day...

I also notice some of these mods are pretty old, thought you would just put newer maps in there, still, I like it.

Good job, we should organise a game night on XBC/Xlink to play this :mrgreen:

by **xxpenguinxx** » January 8th, 2010, 7:24 pm

Just finished downloading, I'll be able to play later on tonight around 10ish

by **herger** » January 8th, 2010, 10:14 pm

I'm up for it. that would be sweet =]

by **herger** » January 9th, 2010, 12:39 am

yea.I'm getting an error with part 11. saying that one of the serenity patches is corrupt when it tries to unpack it =/

by **Aumaan Anubis** » January 9th, 2010, 3:00 am

Another mappack.

Cool.

yea.but it isnt even letting me run the auto patcher. If it works for you,please let me know

by **Aumaan Anubis** » January 9th, 2010, 4:33 am

I don't really plan on installing it. In fact, I've never gone through the trouble of applying a map pack.

by **iBotPeaches** » January 9th, 2010, 6:07 am

I tried the autopatcher on 32bit and 64bit XP, so I don't know why it wouldn't work. I had 2 people test it and both reported it working fine.

I just tested part 11 on all 3 hosters and they were all the required size. You have to open it as an administrator because it moves patches and deletes them, which for some reason requires admin powers.

by **herger** » January 9th, 2010, 6:34 am

wen i run the auto patcher, it gives me an error like entity and other modding program, asking me to continue or quit. and if i click continue,it opens but i cant do anything. and im running xp =/

by **herger** » January 9th, 2010, 6:40 am

this is what it says,

but i have the newest .net framework installed =/

by **troymac1ure** » January 9th, 2010, 7:44 am

Post the details button, it may actually help out.

by **herger** » January 9th, 2010, 8:11 am

Umm..wow...i just randomly tried it again...and it worked....WTF?!

by **iBotPeaches** » January 9th, 2010, 2:57 pm

Yeah go ahead and expand it next time it comes up.

I can only think of a few things that might be causing that, most of which can be resolved by running as an admin.

by **CaptainPoopface** » January 12th, 2010, 9:54 pm

Awesome. Thanks for putting this together. I'm looking forward to playing all these maps, some of them for the first time.

I won't be joining but Remnant does still have that Arena on Kai.

Code: Select all: Arena > XBox > First Person Shooter > Halo 2 > Mods and Hacks > Remnant Mods

by **JacksonCougar** » January 12th, 2010, 10:33 pm

We can thank Dark for that I believe.

no...

by **DrXThirst** » January 22nd, 2010, 2:20 am

Three of my maps are in there!

by **JacksonCougar** » January 22nd, 2010, 4:11 am

We can thank Socrates for that?

Youtube Channel · by **socrates** » January 22nd, 2010, 10:04 pm

Yeh, well the idea, the actual arena was made by an admin on xlink, [1up]MstrGmr so yeh, if you ever see him on there be sure to give him a nod or other respectable sign
I'm curious, how large is this mappack? is it more than enough to fit on a stock xbox harddrive?, wonder if the maps could be organized into packs that could be transferred, might be a lot of confusion but a gamers' night that switch map sets ever hour or so would be neat to try

by **iBotPeaches** » January 22nd, 2010, 11:04 pm

If you have a stock HD, you can only fit 1 pack, v1 or v2.

If you have your F drive formatted on a stock, you can fit both

Just place one on the E drive, and the other on the F drive.

by **DrXThirst** » January 24th, 2010, 3:27 am

Do you need anything in the F drive... apparently not?
Also, I have both of mine cleared and I still only have a TOTAL of 4.5GB. Is this what it's supposed to be?

by **Gary** » January 24th, 2010, 3:44 am

I think there is different HDDs for different Xbox models.
