okay first off should i be trying to edit this way or should just use HEK
the map works fine but just wont load in sapien.
here is what debug tells me...

07.02.10 21:22:56 game_load() failed.

Pretty much self-explanatory.

thanks i understand that, but why does this happen?

It's because you're missing that tag. I'm honestly surprised you didn't figure that out on your own.

yeah your not wrong there i should have looked a bit more at it lmao
thanks again.

for anyone else that has this problem
the exact tag i had to get was...vehicle.material_effects

its handy if you have halo pc aswell cause you can just take it from there,to find the tag in your halo pc version go to the halo pc programe files then to tags folder then to the vehicles folder
and you will see it there its its a 7KB tag file copy it and paste it into the same section of your
halo custom edition folder and then run your sapien (problem solved)
