Help everyone! I'm losing my mind to the point where I'm going to explode



And my script (which I see NOTHING WRONG WITH):


What's wrong with my script?! Why can't sapien compile it?!

(script startup rampage
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects first (players))15)
(ai_place 2nd_flood)
(game_save_no_timeout)
(ai_place The_Flood)
)

Added a parenthesis for you. You forgot that "(ai_place 2nd_flood" needed one.
You're welcome

Woah, um, dude.
I don't know how you got that.
Extract your most recent compiled scenario then compile the script again...
BTW, I know whats in your map now ^^

Repaste your script.

I did that twenty times using wordpad to notepad, I ran both as administrator.

And now I have this:

Is it because I used the latest version of HEK+ to extract the tags I'm using?

Powered_mass?
That's a corrupted physics tag I think....

Well...actually, no...

I did a search inside my tagset (today's date), and there was no physics tag anywhere that was modified today.

Sapien ran earlier, but the map wouldn't compile for some reason.

Not to sound like a quitter, but is this map dead (meaning, is it now pointless to continue this)?

If it was a physics tag, it'd say physics .___.

I'm assuming it's the BSP that's causing the problem. The earlier error you had with strange symbols WAS from the script. However, I don't even know what you're doing now. Save a copy of the scenario as a debugging version, delete everything but the BSP, and try to open the map.

I eliminated the scripts, and...Now even sapien won't open it. :(

Well, uh, thanks for your help anyways.
