Whenever I add Spartan-094's ODST into a map, it always gives me this when I try to use the map in Halo CE:



I've made sure there are spawn points, I've made sure it's a multiplayer map, the starting player is cyborg_mp, and I've checked the weapons to make sure they're not corrupted. It was also put into the correct folder. I was able to export maps without the bpied just fine. There was one test map that had the biped in it, but it had no collision model, so it couldn't collide with anything (bump possession, splatter). The biped with the collision model is the one that's having the problem.

Could somebody please help me?

(http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=5178 = Biped)

Ive downloaded those before ive had the same problem but i fixed it something to do with the biped it self go into guerilla open the tag and look for any red highlightings thats how i fixed mine.

I looked through the whole thing, and there aren't any red highlights in the tag.

Put the biped in Sapien, not Guerrila.
Then see what tag errors come up for the biped.
If there are no missing tags, then restart Sapien and see if it crashes.
If it does, look in the debug.txt for the type of tag causing the exception errors.

I've put it in Sapien multiple times, and it hasn't crashed when I added it to the .scenario file. It opens successfully whenever I run Sapien.

As for the debug, where should I look? I've got this, which says "No reason given" for the exception:

Bingo.
You see, it says right here:

That means that a physics tag that your biped references is corrupt. Either replace it or link to a new one.

Also, your weapon tag needs proper animations.

I see the problem now, there wasn't a physics file to reference to, it was blank.
I'm looking at other .biped files I've got, and they don't have a physics file, either. Where would I find it?
It's this pistol: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4754 The thing that's weird is that it's a main weapon in most of my maps I make, but it's never caused a problem before. It always animates. :|

Thanks for the help!

When copying files, overwrite, because he includes a modified model collision geometry.
