Tried compiling a50. Exception right as you get off the Pelican. Opened up scenario in Sapien, and did "run_game_scripts true". Plays nicely up 'till the point where the marines get out of the Pelican. Bam. Crash.

No, it's not corrupted Scorpion tags. 3154 =/= 3157

From what it barfs out, it looks like somewhere in your scenario tag blocks, that something doesn't match up (an effect for a weapon or something like that).

Of course, this is a big guess.

I'm pretty sure it's not a corrupted tag. I've compiled maps with these before. I moved my tags folder elsewhere, and tried to open it, but I failed.

Gamma needs help? That's impossibable.



It appears you set the marines to spawn when they already have. I guess you made them spawn at the Pelican right before they exit, without knowing that they're already there without a need to spawn.

That's not it. Warnings can be ignored. It's just an extra call in the scripts, and since it isn't object_create_anew, the marines won't be created again, and it'll play all right.

Well, you did say that it's after the marines exit the pelican. Try making a new scenario, or *Recursively* extracting the tags from a50.
