Converting CE maps to Demo

Post by ThePolice » Sat Sep 19, 2015 5:56 pm

So I have Halo CE installed on my windows vm and I wanted to try to convert some of the maps to the demo format (not MD). I have pearl 1.2, 1.3, and 2 installed. So what steps do I need to take to convert the maps.
Thanks

1.2 is probably your best bet. It will convert CE to demo. 1.3 does the same thing as 1.2, it's just based on a different code base and may or may not function better/faster (but could corrupt the map in the end).

So I am having trouble. So I copied the CE maps to my mac side and I just put them in a maps folder on my desktop. So If I try to convert say timberland I set the maps folder as the full maps folder and pick timberland as the target. But when it is converting I get a nil object exception error. What am I doing wrong? Here is my maps folder:Image

Thanks

Make sure the application is named "Pearl.app" and nothing else, otherwise it will crash. Also make sure these are the maps from the retail game and not the custom edition.

OK so those were the custom edition maps. So I replaced them with the full version maps and it worked. Thanks.
