how do I?

i have hek, halo ce, tried to make a map with a new biped, now, i need to know how to set up a .scenario file.

i was given a tutorial on how to make a map, but they didn't explain how to make a .scenario file.

to "make" a new BSP (the actual level geometry) you need to use a 3d modeling program then use tool to make a scenario file.
To use existing scenario's, you can "rip" them with HEK+

Read the stickey threads in both CE sections of the forum.

umm..tool creates a scenario file if you build a bsp sucessfully....lol. If you don't want to make a whole new map,open sapien,go to levels\test\tutorial and open up tutorial.scenario in sapien..then once sapien opens, modify map,save build cache/map in tool, and test ingame.

I understand what ur telling me, but, sapien wont open.

is this a vista issue?



i'm gonna check yahoo answers for solutions...

This is the place to ask, well the technical section would be better.
In halo ce root directory there is debug.txt
paste the last paragraph here.
lol srry i forgot, yes its a vista thing.
Set sapien to run on 1 core.
set affinity to 1 or 0 ?
set to run in XP compatability mode ?

post the last paragraph of debug.txt here.
it should be in the directory you installed the HEK by default.

This is usually caused by corrupted tags. Tags can corrupt when you extract them with HEK+. More often than not it's the Scorpion or some other vehicle collision.

Back up any custom tags you have and reinstall the HEK for a fresh set of tags. What I do is copy the original tags upon a fresh HEK install so I can just drag+drop if anything gets corrupted.

i have the updated h3 spartan tags.

That's the important bit. You need to get those tags from somewhere.

the three tags are the bipeds i want to use in a map, lemme guess, i need a better version?

or i should redownload them.

h3 is short for halo 3, which i download the h3 spartan tags for ce.

you probably put them in the wrong folder. open up the biped tag and redirect any red links.

would it work just to delete the extra tags?

No... All tags reference one another, except for the "base" tags, which are gbxmodels, model_animations, and bitmaps. The error is that it can't find your tag. Make sure that your tag is in the correct location.
