Your answer is right there in the debug.



You either are missing these tags or they have become corrupt. Judging by the path of the files, you should be able to extract them all from your b30.map using HEK +.

it wont let me, b30 is a folder not a .map file

hek+ only opens .map files and the bitmaps are in the right place anyway

no it's not

What game are you even playing >.>

C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Halo/MAPS/b30.map

or

C:/Program Files(x86)/Microsoft Games/Halo/MAPS/b30.map

Or just stop using a pirated version of the game, your pick.

i downloaded it from this site

you may of got the Custom Edition part from here, but your actual halo PC; the disk that had your serial key and such. From THAT installation, you have those maps.

So, in other words, you have a cracked/pirated CD Key that you use for Halo CE.

It doesn't matter whether it's a pirate version or not, sapien is a completely different program and has nothing to do with it.

Dude these tags are missing
