I have a question about the H2 Weapons tags that I downloaded off the main site.
I extracted them to their respective directory Tags\Weapons, yet when I try to add them in sapien I get an error saying to contact bungie blah blah blah.. etc.

I noticed that they don't have the Item Collections to add to that folder. How do I fix this issue.
Did I download the wrong tags?

Is there a working set of H2 Wepaons somewhere that I missed?

Thanks for any help.

No tags that i know of have item_collections in the folders.Post your last paragraph of your debug.txt here.

The H2 weapons on the site are Knave's. You can rip them from the map Ruined Pain. They aren't exactly the best out there though.

in general, there is also the unit hud interface that people need to change to their own

Anyway, to make your own .item_collections

New file> item collections

Press .... choose your .weapon

In your weight box change that to 100

some of them have them. Out of all the BR versions from here, none were complete.. so i extracted each one to the same folder until all the tags were filled. now i have a working BR. too bad it looks like doodoo.

Just use these:
http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4638

And fill in missing tags with assault rifle tags.

DOH...i thought that BR screwed me till i realized all the files were referenced tags\halo2\weapons\battle_rifle and not tags\weapons\battle_rifle.

it's pretty good minus the lack of "picked up x ammo" hud message. probably will mess around with the fire rate too.

thanks :]

You can change the HUD messages, you know.

i plan on it...which tag is that in anyway?

You have to use the String list editor to open up hud_item_messages. Then, modify it to your liking, save, and remember the reference number. Put that number into the message index box in the weapon tag.

ya thanks...although i already did it haha..."search" is a wonderful thing.

only thing missing is the pickup icon. i tried to simply reference the AR, but all i got was "press E to pickup ]". i tried getting the order from the hud_msg_icons.bitmap...doesn't work and i have no data\ui folder, which i can't figure out :/ at any rate ] is better than LEFT TOGGLE.

I would compile a new hud icon with the BR but it would screw up the icons for the rest of the items since i can't add it to an existing bmp...i don't have it.

Use the bitmap extractor to extract the hud_msg_icons list, and then add it on. Then save, recompile the bitmap, and reference that.

Sorry for the delay ... I got real busy.

Here is the debug txt info

All the "file_open" errors mean that you're missing that tag. You either have to:

a) Extract it from somewhere that has one
b) Redirect it to somewhere else
c) Create the tag

Since I don't want to make topic unless I've have to.
I got this error as open my in Halo CE maps.

Any ideas why?

...none of those will work. Because sapien or gurrilla hate me a lot.
A) I'm not going to download map or ofter tags for one tag.
b)If I do that it will make it worst there instrument with tags.
c) What do you mean by " create the tag"?

Plus, I been reinstall Halo 1 CE and Halo 1CE Hek all day now. Cause, I can't any sapien, unless I uncheck properties, then everything pop ups at once then sapien its crash.

it's in the wrong place, i got the same thing earlier when i misread the file path. ^^ If you don't believe it open guerilla and open each tag in the file. you'll see a whole lot of red.

Are you daft?



That says, that Sapien CANNOT OPEN THAT FILE. That means, you're missing the tag. I'm sure you have a ui.map, so rip the tag from there.
