Halo 2 Vista Map Editor
Hey can anyone tell the basics of the Halo 2 Map Editor and how to start a new map from scratch. I don't have much experience with map editors so I really don't know what to do with the Halo 2 Vista Map Editor. The only map editor I've ever used was Forge in Halo 3. But I know that's way different than a real map editor. Anyways, I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me how to get started with a blank map made from scratch and how to play objects and scenery on that blank map. Thanks for your time!

I've already installed the trial and so far everything seems to be working perfectly. Now I have 30 days to complete my map. The process is a lot more complicated that I thought. I'm barely 10% through. The map I'm trying to make is a large city map with several tall skyscrapers. I've tried to export the map without any texturing or any other stuff like that. It seems when I load that into Halo 2 Sapien, there's too many errors and the file is considered corrupt. I guess that's because I didn't add any texturing but if that's not the reason why, then please let me know if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks!
