So when i pick a .SCENARIO sapien turns on all white without windows inside then turns off like 1 minute after that. I run a xp home editoin single core comp. Here is my most recent debug screen.

reinstalling does not help since i tried and i did re-extract, no help there and this happens to every map.

Is your halo ce installed in the default directory?
Are you running as admin?
the shotgun looks like it references something with a name that has too many charactors?

Yes, yes, and no idea. it was working like 2 hrs ago i tried a new map and it just stopped working.

try stock maps, see if the problem persists.

re-extract the first person model of the halo 3 shot gun. and use this version of hek+ http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2289

@maniac yes the problem still persists with stock maps as for milkkookie i will follow your advice now.

EDIT- okay, it still doesnt work. It isn't like when sapien opens normally. When i open sapien and pick a scenario there are no windows inside. it is all white.

Edit while writing edit. Okay i think i know what the problem is. My latest debug screen says my h3 hornet flashlight files are missing from the globals.globals files so ill delete the whole hornet vehicle and it should work.

ok i did away with the shot gun error tag and with the sniper error tag. This is the latest debug screen and i have no idea what all this means.

try deleting all your vehicles from your scenario in guerrilla.

If that doesn't work, then you have a boatload of corrupted tags.

Reinstall HEK with a fresh set of tags - remember to always rip from all of Halo PC's campaign maps and at least one MP maps before ripping from CE if you do need a reinstall.

ok, i did and sapien opens but it is all white without windows and on the view tab all windows are opn. i clicked them on and off but no luck.

if it looks like this

uncheck the status bar under the view tab and drag the blank screen to the top where you cant see it any more
