I'm part of a movie making clan and I am supposed to mod maps for certain episodes of these movies. So what happened was we are considering shooting the first few episodes in asgard, so I wanted to mod it. Unfortunately, I have been getting this error when opening it in sapien:

I can't find anything invalid in guerilla, so how the heck do I fix this error?

Dude... dude.......




1. Asgard is FAIL. The bsp is fail, the vehicles are fail, the whole thing is fail (except for the br model... I like it...)... go for a different map... because the movie will look ugly... sorry.

2. You claim to be in this "machinima clan"... you also claim that you are part of a "team" making a single player campaign...
And because I have not seen a single good work from you (its more like, I have no idea what you are capable of... not trying to insult), I wonder if you are overloading yourself?... which, since stuff like this is a hobby, one can do it off and on...

edit: and also most of that post shows simply startup procedures for sapien...

oh yeah, get e3po's hek... though I do miss seeing "Microsoft is Totally Gay" at the bottom of the screen XD.



anyway, comment 1 would probably be the best advice I can give so far...
Don't use Asgard for machinima purposes D:

Everyone is using a MP map

Why not mod a SP map and use that?

Lots more fun capabilities

Because body actors are sometimes more obedient and can do things that AI cannot...


But AI can do things body actors cannot.

No what I mean was mod it so there is no AI but have the level to mess around with

Or you can use AI Idk, but it won't sink

Another thing you can do is use cheat bump possession so you have people being different charactors (didn't think of that did ya)

Well having the big level is awesome at times...

but as for bump-possession, I think that crashes because biped spawns do not sync and then clients/hosts possess a biped that does not show/is different on the other side of the internet connection...

What I would do is:

1. No bipeds that are in the map spawn, but they can be spawned by code:

assuming you use an unarmed cyborg biped and it is named "bob" without the quotation marks...

object_create_anew bob

in console...

and maybe bump-possession would work?

I dunno.

Maybe thats WHY I'm modding it.

I don't care how sucky asgard is. All I was asking for was how to fix the error, not why asgard is fail.
