PC. It's cooler. By the way, once you extract, the scenario file is in the folder levels\test\bloodgulch.

ok i did what you said and nothing is in tags/lvls/test/bloodgulch exept bitmaps and shaders folders!

Did you click the big "Use Registry" button in HEK+?

yes i did

Here:
http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2620

Once you download, there will be a folder. Open it up, until you find a tags folder. Merge it with your own tags folder.

k im downloading it now, and by merge do you mean puting the tags folder from the download inside my tags folder?

No. Put your tags folder inside the Halo Custom Edition folder, where your tags folder is. Windows will ask if you want to merge. Click yes.

rightclik on no particular folder and select all then rightclik the selection and extract to, in the new extract to window there is a use existing folders or directories checkbox, check that, click the big default button.

k i put tags folder next to the normal tags folder...... i have the scenario files now but my sapien still closes! here is the debug file

Yea, this is because you don't have the tags for this vehicle:
tags\vehicles\brute_ghost\brute_ghost.vehicle

Rip extinction. All of it.

ok rip as in tag extracting in hek+ i did that and here is the debug now

i have the brute ghost now and it wont work.

This is the exact same debug as the one you posted earlier... Close debug.txt, and open it again. Find the newest paragraph, and paste it here.

its still the same one even tho i refresh

The date and the time of the debug is the exact same. If you read it, the date of the first is the same as the date of the second.

ok i looked at the debug file and it says the newest one is the one i posted a couple of posts behind, does that mean its my computer thats screwing with me now?

Edited by Halodude450 on Mar 16, 2009 at 02:21 AM

Copy the entire thing and paste it here.

Interesting to Blood Gulch? People might not like that.... But anyway, I'm not here to criticize your choice of map. Are you running Vista?

Did you show all files and folders? View other topic for information on how to.

Yes, it should be in the same folder as HEK. Your Halo Custom Edition folder. If Sapien closes down, then it must write to the debug.txt.

here is the NEW debug file so far.

Open up beavercreek.map with HEK+. Extract the tag called globals.globals in the globals folder. Overwrite your old one.

Gamma..... i thank you soooooo much!!!! my sapien works now! but i need to ask you somthing, how do i add ai? like bipeds and then make them move and fight and stuff?

If you get the error which says: "Not all tags could be added to the palette. Please contact a Bungie Programmer for assistance", then copy the last part of your debug.txt, and paste it here.

ok i watched that video and it helped ALOT but i need actor vars, how do i get those?

Remember HEK+? Open it up again, and open a10.map. Extract all files, but DO NOT OVERWRITE.

ok i have actr vars now but in sapien i find them and i add tags, it wont add it!

Extract these tags:
'tags\effects\blood aoe grunt.effect'
'tags\globals\grunt.material_effects'

I'm assuming you know how. If not, open up HEK+, open up a10.map, and when you see the list of folders, for the first tag, go to the effects folder. Then drag the tag called blood aoe grunt.effect to the extraction cue. Same with the second.
