I'm fairly sure these tags are corrupt because of the extraction going wrong:

I did not recursively extract

I extracted them directly to my tags folder

it is like this with every cmt tag, how would I extract them so the tag is not screwed up?

Also I noticed how it says they are referenced in my other screwed up tag folder (tagseffedup), however, I extracted them from the cmt tags unplayable so why would this be?

lol did you do it recursivley?

hey i found out wat was wrong with a few of the tags but my geist is ehh:

05.02.10 02:01:42 EIP: 0x77019A94, C3 8D A4 24 ?????
05.02.10 02:01:42 EXCEPTION halt in \halopc\haloce\source\tag_files\tag_groups.c,#3157: #-1 is not a valid object_function_block index in [#0,#4)

then why did it sapien crash and give me that error when I placed the geist biped on the map?
