What's causing my Sapien to look like this?

This happens with every scenario file I open. If I compile any scenario it looks normal ingame.
Could this be my video card driver?
Could this be that my Sapien is curropted?
Could this have something to do with my tags?
What is causing Sapien to look like this?

Bitmap corruption. Re-extract the BSP recursively, overwriting your old tags, and the bitmaps should go back to normal. That, or re-install HEK.

this exact thing happened to mea while ago. If you look at your bitmaps in guerilla, specifically the ones on your bsp, they should look all colorful just like in that pic. What I did was copied my entire tags folder to another location, then uninstall and reinstalled HEK. Then you copy your tags folder(the one you copied earlier), and paste it in your Halo Custom Edition directory. Choose not to overwrite so you don't overwrite the new stuff with the corrupted stuff.

happened to me too. I don't know why, but after I extracted some tags from a certain map (can't remember what it was,) they all went back to normal.

Ok, I just restarted my comp and blew the thing clean of dust (It was like a tornado in there). I opened Sapien back up and that did nothing. I opened up the bitmaps in guerilla, most of them are fine. Then I looked at cubemaps and those were weird looking. Definatly the cause of the problem. I then looked at the detail maps and those were weird looking too. So I'm concluding that the detail maps and cubemaps got currupted. Now I just need to fix this.

You know, that's the exact same thing as re-installing HEK. Uninstalling HEK won't delete your tags folder, but only the important tags. Installing it again will overwrite any corrupted bitmap. No need to move the tags folder.

Oh ok. Didn't know that. Thanks.

Gamma, what do you mean by important tags? Like the tags that the HEK comes with?

Yea. The UI stuff. globals.globals. Custom tags don't get ovewritten or changed in any way, unless they reference a tag that came with HEK, but was modified. So if you reskinned the warthog by overwriting the old bitmaps, and created a warthog called superhog that used those bitmaps, re-installing HEK will replace the modified warthog bitmaps, and "superhog" will look just like the standard hog.

The rasterizer bitmaps were also currupt which caused the strange rendering errors.

I had this problem. I just ripped the corrupted tags from default maps and overwrote them.

This could also be caused by your video card. What vid card are you using?
