ive been wanting to make ai in my map with sapien, when i open it up it will stay open for about 2 seconds then close. plzzzzzzz help meeee???

basicly whats happening is that i cant open the .scenario
Edited by halo3n00b on Dec 8, 2008 at 07:36 PM

Same thing here. For some reason, my Timberland and Blood Gulch scenarios are corrupted.

Check these:

-Are you sure you've extracted all the tags?
-Does debug.txt say Sapien fails to load a certain tag?
-Have you tried extracting and loading another map?

By the way, since you're making an AI map, I can give you ideas/tips if needed.

so far nothing pops up and says error. i extracted it 2 times, and so far nothing. and i tried other maps.

Did you open your debug.txt? This means that YOU ARE MISSING TAGS. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR DEBUG.txt file WHICH WILL HELP YOU MORE THAN WE CAN RIGHT NOW. Copy the last few lines, and paste them here, where we can look at them, and give you the error within 2 minutes.

here it is, it might be kinda late but wateva. but just to let u know im using kornman00s hek and he comes with a different type of sapien wich is called a hobo 102

You're opening up Battle Creek like me! But I don't know how to fix these errors, mainly because this is just a list of tags. It should look more like this:

if wat i posted wasnt debug.txt then where do i find it? and does using kornman00s hek make a difference, because im not using sapien im using a hobo (basicly the same thing) but if there is any differance, could you give me a link to sapien cause i dont wanna download HEK becaus its like 275mb

HEK installs Sapien. Otherwise, use ahobo. It doesn't make a difference, but I like Sapien more (My opinion). The debug.txt file is where you installed halo, most likely
C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Halo Custom Edition , and there is a file called debug.txt

ok here it is i found it. oh and gamma could you give me ur xfire?
