Its quite funny how many sapien problem posts there are.... anyways.. when i try and open ANY scenario in sapien, even the tutorial one, the screens open for about 75 milliseconds, and then disappear. i have no idea whats happening and i really need to fix it, because this is the last step i need to make my first map!

I dont know if this matters.. but i got sapien from hek....

And if you read those topics completely you'd know how to remedy this problem.
The solution is in the file "debug.txt", located in the CE root directory. Post what it says.

ok.. im a noob at computer stuff.. so i have no idea what a debug.txt or any of that stuff is..

yet you are trying to make a halo level... >_>
i think its easier to open a text file than make a halo level.

well to test if you really are the noob you claim to be (btw... O_o ), do you know how to get to the folder hek (and likely halo ce) is (/are) in?

if you do you should be able to find a file called debug.txt (it may not have txt on the end depending on your settings for windows) and post whats in it.

if not. you are a computer NOVICE, but not necessarily a noob ;-P. and i guess i could get you a whole walkthrough on the whole deal.

i got the that debug.txt thing.. what do i do with it now? and the only reason im trying to make a map is because i have 8 tutorials on it

One more thing.. i used to have the map hugeass, but one day i would get "exception" when i tried to open it, so i re-downloaded it, and i did it all again, but when i start the game, even using the "Map_name hugeass" mode, i start off in the middle of the field, with no hud's, no person or anything, and i cant move or anything. same with a map called trepidation or something... can someone u help me on that too? because i dont want to loose the hugeass map for good

BTW: whoever created hugeass was a god! =P

Find the last paragraph, copy and paste it here.

Il just put the whole thing, here:
