I have the same problem when i open certain scenario tags, except i don't get an error. Maybe it was caused by different scenario tags

just try something for me plz.
if u have scorpions in the map delete them using guerilla (delete all places scorpions and scorpion from vehicles palate also)
save then open in sapien.
@gamma- the error can be found in the last entry of debug.txt which can be found in halo ce root directory.

oh and this is the extracted map Boarding Action if that helps

It happens sometimes when deleting a gun from palette before deleting all it's spawed versions if i remember right.

oops wrong error. Um its this one. At least this is the new one.

there is a problem with the locations of the POA bitmaps i think.

they should be in the bitmaps folder right?

Which means...?

it means opening the first level of the campaign in HEK+ and getting the bitmaps...

I put in the missing files, but it still won't open
