How To Convert a PC Rainbow Map to an Xbox Rainbow Map (cont.):

B: Editing the .ini file to make it an Xbox map.

Open the “mymap.ini” file that you downloaded in the .rar file at the start of the tutorial (under, “Things You’ll Need”). What you’ll see will look like the text below. Xbox .ini files are different than PC .ini files. The good news, though, is that for the basic map, all Xbox .ini files are virtually the same. Except for the name, and the enabled play types, the Xbox .ini files from M.A.P. don’t really vary much at all between released maps. So your typical Xbox .ini file will look something like this:

For comparison sake alone, I’d distribute the PC version of this .ini file, but it’s really not mine to distribute, so you’ll have to download the map yourself. Once you do, you’ll notice that the PC .ini file is way, way longer than the Xbox version. Let’s go over the basics of what this Xbox .ini file says (bold sections are just so you can see what you’ll be changing).
