I just got HEK and HEK+, and i thought to myself, "Hmmm, I want t make an AI Map!"
So i Ask Gamma927 how to extract a .scenario. He told me.
But when i go off opening sapien, It crashes. I open Up Debug.txt, and this was my problem:

"

Any Ways to fix this?

Extract EVERY tag from the map.

I did that and this is what happened:

I've gotten this error many times before and never gotten past it.

So is there any way to fix it?

try extracting the bitmaps folder by folder, if not one by one.
sometimes it gets past this error, sometimes it does not.
I assume you have the "latest" version of HEK+?

also you need to make sure that the map is in your maps folder otherwise it won't extract properly.

I had to get the bitmaps from my other computer.

I donty know what you mean...

it couldn't extract the bloodgulch bitmaps because the bitmaps.map wasn't in the same folder as your bloodgulch.map. i think. did you have bloodgulch copied somewhere? like on a pc that didn't have halo installed?

Okay, I got the .scenario of blood gulch extracted, but when i open it up in sapien, it just closes a few seconds after.
So, i went, looking in debug.TXT and i got this:

ok. your tags are screwd up if your missing the basic file to open bloodgulch lol. my solution is to reinstall HEK and then try opening tutorial. this is to make sure your tags aren't corrupt. if tutorial opens fine then re-extract bloodgulch (make sure bloodgulch is in your map folder with every other map in there).

Diablo,
Your scorpion tags are broken. This sometimes happens when you extract it from a map.
There are replacement ones on the site somewhere, search for them and replace your scorpion tags folder.

Maniac, It worked, Thankyou, now i can go on and make maps!
