Hey all,

I have a problem with opening up regular campaign maps in Sapien. I extracted an original campaign map from the Halo: PC directory. The map was a10. Here is the debug;

I have no clue what that even means. I'm running as the administrator if that helps any.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

only happens with this a10 map?
also did you put a copy of the a10 pc map into your maps folder?
try opening the tutorial one and see if it works.

that error usually means your being denied access to a sp map.
unless someone can say different,i think you should back up your tags folder and reinstall HEK
then try again.but i would wait on a reply from anyone else.

never had the problem myself,i got the info from here...

i got it to work once i extracted the whole thing and had over write existing tags checked and then merge a backup tags folder with it and then download the fix uncorrupt tags for the level from here and it worked

Okay, I have re-installed the HEK. But I still get the same error. This error happens from all of the campaign maps. Not Just a10.

I can get tutorial to work just fine in Sapien, along with Bloodgulch. So it must be something with the campaign maps that I do not know of.

If the HEK+ doesn't extract the tags properly is there another tag extracting program I can use?

milkkookie, I'm not sure if I understand what your saying. I have ripped all of the campaign maps and non of them work. Could you go into more detail on what I should do?

thats the halo1 missing tags,theGhost's tagset,this has all the scenario files etc needed to open the campaign maps.
it's advised that your extract this to a clean tag set.

hope it helps,it should.

make sure you have a copy of the original tag folder. in hek+(go to tools options plugins and check over write existing tags.)
1. rip the campaign. try to open the map
if it doesnt work continue with the bottom steps.

2.merge the copy of the tags folder with the current folder that you extracted the campaign to. and if it tells you to replace then do it.
if that doesnt work continue with the next steps.
3.download this http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1393 if your using b30 if not find the levels you want
4.and put it in your tags folder.
if that doesnt work your screwed

You can create a .scenario file and add the campaign bsp's but then you lose all the placed scenery. ai. scripts, devices etc.

that doesn't work for everybody, because when i tried it dint work

okay fair enough,worked for me a while back,so it was thrown out there in the hope it was what was needed.

Alright thanks guys. I was able to get it working by download the original tag packs off of the is website. It's still a wired error though, it doesn't tell you that anything is wrong, just a ton of random numbers and letters.

Anyways, thanks again!
