could some body please tell me how to put a pelican from extinction in a halo ce campaign level please i have no idea lol

1 extract the map extinction
2 download zteams campaign scripts
3 extract the campaign map you want it in
4 place it in the map and add the vehicle to the list
5 compile the map
6 enjoy

could you please elobourate or something cuz i dont understand it all lol

1) Download HEK+, use it to open up Extinction, and drag all folders that you see onto the extraction cue. Uncheck "Save extracted tags list"
2) Download Zteam's campaign scripts. Search Zteam on Halomaps, and find the one that says Zteam's campaign scripts.
3) Use HEK+ to extract the campaign map that you want to edit, E.G. a10, a30...
4) Download HEK, open Sapien, and open the scenario file. E.G. for a10, go to the folder tags\levels\a10\levels\a10, and find the scenario file. Open it. It will take you a while, because Sapien has to load all the tags. Once loaded, it will open up. If it crashes, one of your tags is missing or corrupted. Once Sapien is open, click Edit Types in the Hierarchy View, select vehicles, and browse to the Extinction Pelican. Add it. Then, go back to Hierarchy View, and go to Mission>Objects>Units>Vehicles, and place it. Name the vehicle something, and set it to "Not automatically created".
4.5) Go back to Zteam's scripts, and edit the one that matches with the scenario. E.G. for a10, open up a10.hsc with Notepad. Scroll down to the part that corresponds with the time you want the pelican to be placed, and add

(object_create [pelican name])

Replace [pelican name] with the name you gave the pelican.
5) Compile scripts in Sapien, by hitting Ctrl + Shift + C, and wait for it to finish. It will take a few minutes, so grab a sandwich. Once it's done, save the scenario as something else, such as a10mod. Then, run cmd.exe, and type in

cd C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Halo Custom Edition.

Once the thing changes to >C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Halo Custom Edition, type in

tool build-cache-file [directory of scenario file]

Replace [directory of scenario file] with the directory of the scenario file. If you named your scenario a10mod, and put it in the folder tags\levels\a10, then type in

tool build-cache-file levels\a10\a10mod

6) Open up Halo, make sure console is enabled, and hit the ` button. Then type in

map_name a10mod

It will then launch the map with the mod.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN EASY PROCESS FOR A BEGINNER.

wth thats confusing lol is there a simpler way of doing it

No... This IS the easy way.

Ive tested out the pelican's, but the pelican drivers are drunk whenever you use extinctions pelican.

1.) Download this: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1541
2.) Go to "open map"
3.) Select the map Extinction.
4.) Select extinction in the prompt and drag (highlight) over all of the folders.
5.) Right Click and go to extract all.

Go to Sapien and open the campaign scenario you want the pelican in (you'll have to do the same thing to the campaign scenarios that you want) and go to units/vehicles. Go to "Edit Types." Then, go to "Add" and go to your Halo CE directory, to tags and then to vehicles. Finally, locate the Pelican from extinction and go into the folder and select the .vehicle file. Add it, then go to wherever and put in the pelican by right-clicking where you want it to be. You need to give the Pelican a name, such as human_pelican. That will usually put it in the level, although it is not always guaranteed for success.

Not to be rude, seeing as you took my advice on the number of z's at the end of "plz", but ending a sentence with "lol" can be quite annoying.

period > lol

please soulrot STOP CORRECTING ME and what do u click to get the open map file lol

File>Open

Re-read my directions. It says to open the .map with HEK+



That's all you have to do.

yeas but can you please explain how u open or use the hek + thing im only new to halo(ce or combat evolved) im getting out of the habbit of using hmt

Download HEK+, double click it, and hit CTRL + O to bring up the open window. If that's too hard, on the top, there is a bar, that says File, Edit, View, etc... Click on File, and then click on Open. Then open the campaign map.

Do people not search anymore?

they do lol but i seached and got a spam page so ... :(

Well... makes sense.

OK SO Its finished dwnloading and ive opned it up and opned the map and theres no tags now what ?

There should be tags. What map did you open up?

extinction but theres no tags or any thing theres just writhing to one side and nothing to the other

I'm pretty sure the "writing" is the tags. Look at your keyboard. Find the button called "Prnt Scrn". If you're using a Desktop keyboard, it's above the home key, at the top row. If you're using a laptop keyboard, its in the top right corner (not exactly top right). Hit that button. Then, open up Paint. Hit CTRL + V, and save the picture.
