So I was working on this modification of zanzibar, I downloaded some tags and I installed them in their correct places. The problem tags are http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4397 http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4023 and http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=3829. Here is the debug.txt:

Now it tells me that I'm missing these files, but I've seen other mods with all of these working perfectly fine. What the hell is going on?

The other people redirected the missing tags to something that they have. For example, the h3t-smg weapon hud interface can be replaced with the assault rifle hud interface. I changed the diffuse gunmetal bitmap with something from the warthog, like the assault rifle had.

Download the detail and cubemaps that Masters released. I think it had some stuff you might need.

After a hellish experience I managed to fix it, thanks for your help, guys.
