SCENARIO file but when i open the file in sapien, it crashes. most of my maps load. except some of the bigger ones like ice fields, immure, death island, ect... i have searched all over but have not found anything regarding this problem. please help!

I just want to add some vehicles, add spartan models to take possession of, and change the weapon on the map. (i have all the tags i need but i cant open sapien to get them in the map)

need to get the following tags:
vehicles\heavyscorpion\heavy scorpion.vehicle
You need heavy scorpion.vehicle
If you've downloaded it already make sure it's in that file directory.

Where can I find these tags? I have looked aroun but could not find the file it is looking for.

The Halomaps site is your best friend:
http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2755
You can download the heavy scorpion from here.
Just follow the instructions in the readme.txt.

okay it works. now thanks. but now when i load my tags i get a message saying Sapien could not add the tags to the palette. contact your local Bungie Programmer for assistance.I want to add some mongooses and weapons i downloaded to the map.

POST EDIT: nevermind go them to go in but now i cant find the gbx model file in the same folder. any help?
