yea if anyone could tell me which tags I need to replace that'd be eat cuz I haven't quite learned to decode debug.text and there isn't anything under need to get the following tags so yeah...

look for those bits. in this case, casings.bitmap is missing

uhhhh yeah how do I fix corrupt tags?

you download them again from somewhere

Every time you read, look for what's colored red. That means that the following tag is corrupted, or could not be read. The blue portion is the specific tag that couldn't be read.

here's the problem, for some strange reason i've been getting errors with hek plus where it says certain tags are being used by another process when they aren't and I don't know why.the warthog casing bitmap is one of those tags.so far I've tried everything to fix the problem but with no luck. so if anyone would be generous enough to put that bitmap up for download somewhere that would be nice.

Extract it from a Halo PC map, and not a CE one.

it just gave me a new set of problems:

Tags are missing / corrupted. The exception halt says that one bitmap is corrupted.

uhhhhhh which one?

Have you tried fixing the ones above?

uhhhh which ones are messed up?

http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/8859/omfgkb.jpg

can I get a wtf anyone?

Well, now you know why it's corrupted.

huh...how do I fix it?

tags\weapons\frag grenade\bitmaps\frag grenade decal.bitmap

Reextract it.

already did that one we're talkin bout sentinel beam now

fine, I guess you dont need help fixing it.

I have had this before, and I think YOU are having the checkbox of Overwriting Tags checked. Go check if it is checked. If it is checked, then that is your problem.

THAT was my problem?wow...never would've guessed...

Every time you get the "tag is being used" error, if you click continue, that tag will be extracted, but corrupted, which is a bad thing. You don't want overwrite on, but if you do, do a recursive extract of ONLY the thing you want.

thx 4 teh advice
