Map packaging mystery

**armoman92** · June 25th, 2007 09:51 AM

First of all thanks to everyone for helping me in my last post about lighting, and it worked. Any way when I package my map in the end (the copy t ocustom maps folder checkbox is checked) it doesn't apear in that folder (documents\mygames\halo2\maps). I ve done tons of searches but i can't find where my map went. Does it have anything to do with that g@y vista feature where it need permission to do anything (p.s. how do u turn that off).

HELP ME please

THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Make sure you have UAC turned off (Control Panel - User Accounts). I've had a similar problem in the past with MAX using files that apparently didn't exist.

The compiled map files go into the editors maps folder (Halo 2 Map Editor\Maps) and they need to be copied to your Documents\My Games\Halo2\Maps folder.

UAC and the H2EK don't go together well...

Neither do monkeys and horseradishes.

UAC is for the weak.

Turn UAC off. Then you can absically save all your files from a program without running it as an administrator.
And some programs won't work with Windows Aero.
