Ok Well There are a Few things you need to add Fire to a Map, Fire on a Map is awesome In my opinion, I think its really cool
Materials Needed:
Dot Halo
Insolence
The Map you are Editing
And Last but Not Least 06B_Flodzone.map * The Campaign Maps Can be found on your Halo 2 Disk *
ITMC Placer and CordFinder * If you want to move the fire around *
Ok So Here Goes the Tutorial
Step One:
Open your map that you are Injecting the Fire in, and Floodzone.map
Step Two:
Now Scroll down to the scen tag * Not the SCNR * and Find effects\scenery\fires\fire_basic_large {Choose this if you want the Fire Big} Now click on it and Drag and Drop it into The scen tag in your Map you are Injecting the Fire into. Then Scroll Down to the ITMC tag and Duplicate the plasma and Frag grenade if you do not want to Use Chunk Adder, and Other things.
Step Three:
Now Go to map Options and Click Sign Map, and Then Close Insolence...Once insolence is Closed Open up Dot Halo.
Step Four:
Now IN Dot Halo Scrol Down to the ITMC Tag, and find Plasma Grenade 2. Now go to the Dependinceis, and change it to scen, and Choose effects\scenery\fires\fire_basic_large, and Save Changes. Then Do the Same thing for the Frag Grenade if you also Duplicated the Frag Grenade.
Step Five:
now just go to your scrn { not SCEN } and let it load up. Once Loaded you will see lots of tags, just find the ones that start with itmc i would pick out all the weapons/powerups/grenades you dont want on your map and just swap them with your plasma grenade 2 tag. * Do the Same thing with the Frag grenades if you also Duplicate dthe Frags * the more you swap the more FIRE would be on your map
Step Six:
Now Save Changes, and Fix Enscryption.....As of right now the Fire Only spawns where the Plasma and Frag Grenades would Usally Spawn.
If you Wan't to Change where the Fire Spawns well here yo go................
Step 7:
open up halo 2 collection placer, open up your modded map you will see the chunk number at the top (most maps have about 50 or so chunks) each chunk number represents a weapon , powerup, or vehicle. just scroll each number and watch the "item spawned" bar at the bottom when it changes to plasma grenade 2 then you are at your FIRE once you find all of your Fire you will need to open up the CordFinder Progam
Step Eight:
Once You Open up coord finder and load up the .mvf * Map View File * file of your Map you are editing. have both programs Open the ITM placer and CordFinder, Next scroll down your grenade 2 itmc's one by one find there location (there x,y,and z coord will be on the placer program when your scrolling down each chunk) use those coords to located The Fire on the map. remember that when you move The Fire its z will most like change along with the x and y. if you dont place the z right you will have The Fire floating or that are halfway in the ground. Z placing is mainly guess and check but you can find a weapon or vehicle spawn nearby and see what that z coord is and get a good idea of what your z should be.
Step Nine:
finding the x and y coord you want is easy. just move your Mouse around the mvf. map in CordFinder and as you do the x and y coords show up in the top corner just replace those coords with the coords in the placer program and click save changes.
Step TEN:
Now Save Changes and Close everything..Now You ARE DONE Remeber to Sign your Map with CMR Hope this helped you out alot, Please Leave Feedback if you have any trouble with this and The Staff and GodzofHalo will Reply to your problem ASAP.
P.S This works with any scenary from any map not just fire. You can add something from each map if you want just have to repeat the steps above for each.
