This may sound stupid but how do i mod a campaign level? I extracted the scenario's from halo1 pc but they seem to be protected. (I ask this question for the third time over 6 months) Are the CE conversions of the campaign maps released by renamon the unprotected ones?

Halo PC maps aren't protected, nor are Renamons. You should be perfectly capable of extracting from those maps.

Make sure to extract everything though.
I get weird sapien errors when opening a bungie campaign scenario usually.

ive tried ripping tags from cmts first campaign, because i liked their pelican more than anything. all of them are protected, and when i ripped all v2 tags and tried to open the scenario, it closes.

When my sapien was working it couldn't open any of the main campaign it just died and in debug it said (ask matt what he did) or sometimes it has my name (ask HeadNoob what he did)??? LOL.

Gee, uh...who's matt i wonder?

Also i still can't get the campaign scenario's to go even by recursively extracting them

Same thing happing to me when my sapien was working. I guess we got to download them :((

Yeah get them off the internet, Bungie did some weird crap to their maps that makes them corrupt like crazy under HEK+.

No they didn't. HEK+ extracts them just fine. It's HOW you extract them that matters.

Well gamma how the hell do u exstract them properly

by not recursively ripping AND overwriting existing tags, and a little luck in hoping that HEK+ rips the tags the way you want it to, not some corrupted stuff that is occasionally a result of HEK+ ripping.

Well the first time i did it i didn't recursively extract and there were no other tags of that map and I know that Headnoob did this too and they're not working.

And do u mean overwriting the ar and all the default tags too??

overwriting the default tags is a surefire way to kill your tagset.
and HEK+ isn't entirely reliable, as I found out when i tried ripping CMT's assault pelican from their released tagset (no overwriting btw, and i recursively extracted to ensure no problems).
I got some sort of "tag reference too large" error (basically corrupted tags), and i reripped many times and got the same thing, so i deleted it afterwards.
HEK+ can really screw ripped tags up sometimes, so thats why i said "with a little bit of luck".

Ya HEK+ needs an upgrade to fix them all. On mine after so many files it will come up with and error and exit gay!!
