Every time i try to open any Senerio file but Tutorial, Sapien will freeze for 4-10 seconds and then close. and all the Senerio files Ive downloaded have came from this site. so im wondering what am i doing wrong? Or what is my computer doing wrong?

Check your debug. Infact, post it up here (the last part). Most likely u aren't running sapien as admin but the scenario's have been extracted by admin or you need to change sapien's affinity evry time u open it

You only need to run it as admin for vista and windows7. There is no admin setting for xp.

Oi, go away. He didn't say they had an xp or a vista

I hav Win. 7 but ive fixed the problem myself! but when i try to add ais to it says that some stuff is missing

delete the tags then re-extract them

Trying that solution..... (3 min later) it still says that theres stuff missing! trying it again..... (2 min later) Same result!
well... thinking about it now im proably better off playing other peoples maps than making my own.

download HEK+.
run HEK+ as admin if you used to run the HEK programs as admin.
recursively extract the AI tag(s) you need, and be sure that tag overwriting is OFF before that.
now, try to place the AI tag you want in the map.

heres the AI problem

That error means you are either missing some files, or they are not in their corect locations. Look in your Halo Custom Edition folder for a file called debug.txt, open it and read the last entry in the list. It should tell you what you're missing.

I know I figured that out afew mins after I posted my last post
and I fixed a few things but the debug.txt says:

Make sure you have those files in those folders.

It's his thread and the question was previously unanswered. This is allowed.

the problem is "The Complete Halo Biped Part 1" and "The Complete Halo Biped Part 2" didn't come with the files that the debug.txt says is missing.

Use the HEK+ and extract them from one of the original Combat Evolved campaign missions.

HEK+: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1542

I know I used HEK+ to get the files I needed, however don't you need to convert
Halo PC tags to Halo CE tags first?

there is no difference between the two tag types, halo ce is the same game
