so i went into globals and replaced banshee with
http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2024

i then went into sapien heirachy view, vehicles, added the tag of that vehicle without error.
right clicked to insert new object, and sapien closes. here is the last entry of my debug.txt:

dont worry about desert eagle, it appears to be working fine either way. but that error message about it is still annoying, so i suppose i should fix it. anyway, help is appreciated!

Vehicle tag appears to be corrupted. Create a new scenery tag using just the gbxmodel and collision, and see if that would place in Sapien. If so, create a new vehicle tag from scratch, and add in the gbxmodel, collision, and animations. Try to add that. If that works, continue to copy over tag slots in each vehicle tag.

the scenery with the collision and gbxmodel placed fine, however, when i tried making a vehicle with the gbxmodel, collision, and animation tags it crashed with the following debug:

can anyone try this vehicle, and see if they get the same result? it makes me think the animations are corrupted.
