can't work, those files are cached (unpacked) so they are completly different from the files in your map folder
just reupload them to you cache partition and reload same level

I found that I could successfully replace ui.map with a decompressed ui.map, but could not do the same for bloodgulch, but I have just been putting the files in my Y folder anyways, so it doesn't really matter.
I have tried changing the filename paths, but that doesn't seem to do anything. I completely changed a bunch of file names in bloodgulch and nothing changed. However, I did change the title 1 track in ui.map and it stopped the music at the main screen. This is the only time changing the filename has done anything.
Are cache000 and cache001 the files that actually contain all the files, and cache002-005 are just for indexing?

| Actually pfhorslayer has already made an unpacker! I asked him and he was kind enough to upload it for me. He has an os x binary, or the source code which could be easily compiled. Right now it unpacks the map (so you have a file just like you would have in your cache), and it generates text listing all of the items in the index. He has identified several of the tags, but there are still plenty of unknowns. It's pretty cool.

| How about zipping it and renaming or rarring and renaming. I really doubt that it would work. A better idea would be to try compressing it as a .cab file and renaming it and trying that. Since MS uses .cab for windows and everything, they would want to use it for xbox and give the xbox the capability to view and extract that. That is my thought on it. |
It's great that you are thinking of ideas. However, unfortunately this was probably tried already, and considering the amount of hex people working on Halo, this has to have been done before. AFAIK, the cab has an easily recognizable file header. I've been working with file headers for just a few days now though, so I could be wrong. I just love it when you figure out what kind of file a file really is, and you view it for the first time

it should be there if you interrupted the game in the bloodgulch map level, try again.

lots of reasons to edit the maps! you can have the extra weapons, vehicles enabled in multiplayer maps, changing the skins etc.

?!?!?!?!
It seems like it must be a joke question.
For starters I would put Banshees in BG and Sidewinder!
