OK, here's the deal. I want to do some modding of the campaign maps (a10-d40). I've been trying for a while, but I've only now put forth a concerted effort to try and get them to work.

I downloaded the scenario tags from this site, and overwrote the ones I already had because some of them were corrupted, and constantly re-ripping them with HEK+ wasn't cutting it. So I get a hold of these campaign scenarios, and try compiling them with tool_pro, to no avail. I take a look at the files, and notice that they are far larger than they should be. I look in there, and notice that half the tags are referenced more than once. Whether there was a reason for this, I don't know, but I went through and cleared it out. I also fixed a few errors (a couple of corrupted tags, I just replaced them with a tag that wasn't corrupted), and then, thinking that the problem was fixed, attempted to compile them again.

...and had no luck. Now it's giving me the "Exception: That's all I know!" error. The last time I got that error, I figured out that it was because the model vertex and index buffers went over 32 MB, and that was because an H2 Spartan I had downloaded from here had several different permutations, and I had modified it so that it'd only use one - and did not clear the other permutations out.

This question is for anyone who's modded any campaign map other than b30 (that's the only one I can open - it also happens to be the smallest campaign map). Is it the same problem I explained above, or is it something else?

I've also attempted to mod campaign maps, but always something goes wrong. B30, there are bumpmaps that are always corrupted, whether if I download from the site or rip using HEK+

You could try using normal tool, not tool_pro, because I've managed to compile a10 before (however, the cryotube wouldn't let me out). I've also managed to compile b40, a30, and I can't remember what T&R is.

But yeah, try using normal tool.

I tried it, gave me the same error.

T&R is a50. That's the one I'm trying to compile now.

That didn't work for me.

I have all the scripts. I only need to know how to fix this error.

Well if anyone finds out how to open all campaign scenarios in sapien, please tell the rest of us!!!
I can only open b30, c10, and c20.

I've opened a10 and a30 before...haven't tried the rest. I just downloaded Renamon's SP levels and ripped. They won't compile properly...but I can open them.

Well yeah, I know that works, because I've done it before.

I want to be able to play (and make changes to) the actual campaign mission, though.

EDIT: I got c10 working as well.
