I extracted the model and gave it to Kirby. He did all the other setup. The standing on it part requires OS though, but unless you're doing singleplayer, the turret, body, and legs wont be synchronized perfectly without OS (From what I understand). It'll be close, but I think there's some scripts that require biped boarding to allow for the vehicle to work as it does (the vehicle is 3 parts and then hooked together to be one)

So is there a place to get the tags and scripts, or do I have to ask Kirby?

The latter is what I'd suggest, otherwise you'd most likely be searching in loops for hours. :\

Or not. Found it in less than a minute.

ah the joys of helping people make crazy stuff like that

Thanks for finding the link, although there is no way to extract the tags from that map, nor is there a link to the Halo 3 Scarab tags used in it. :\

HEK+ it dude. There's no link to any tags because they were made by hand (sans model which was halo 3 rip.)

I'll direct kirbs here

I'm fine with os, but will there ever be just a normal stock version of a Halo 3 scarab?

I tried extracting the tags with that, and the program wouldn't let me.

It's either got a map protection thing in place, or something else's wrong.

The latter probably. What issue are you getting with it

When I right-click on the folders or tags, the extract option is greyed out completely. Nothing else will allow me to extract the tags either, which initially gave me the idea that it's got the map-protection code in place, or something else.

I'll see if I can extract the tags...

Although, if there are scripts, HEK+ can't get them.

Edit: I extracted the tags, am I allowed to give a download link?

I believe so, and I also think that the creator of the content will provide the scripts if you ask.

I tried to run the map in halo with open sauce 4.0 but halo crashed and wouldn't run the map, but I can still extract the tags and give them to you to make an open sauce 4.0 map

EDIT: I can't load the tags into sapien.

It's alright, and I would indeed appreciate receiving the tags.

Alright, I'll get you a link. Zip or Rar file?

Also if you get the tags working, please let me know.


Edit: I think this is all of them. https://www.dropbox.com/s/0c7ktcqnkz5mc24/Tags.zip?dl=0

According to Kirby, the tags don't work on their own, you need his script to get it to work

But they have errors going into sapien, I thought you have to compile scripts after the tags were in sapien

Couldn't you make the scarab a really large biped? As long as it has a good collision I think you can walk on it. Iirc you can walk on bipeds fine. Not sure how I would get AI to walk on it but w/e.

not necessarily. If you were to stand ontop of another player's head, and they would move, you would fall down instead of moving with them. The same sort of result would occur if you simply turned the scarab into a biped (however you could use OS' biped boarding to make the scarab an AI rather than an AI in a vehicle)

ah, I would think because how slow the scarab moves it would not be a problem, I think making the scarab a biped and using scripts similar to what kirby did would work? Making it a biped will definitely make things a little easier.

Kirby made it a vehicle only because its 3 vehicles that are hooked together using a script. You would have a harder time doing that with a biped, and I don't think you'd be able to ride it if you made a biped board another biped as is

Then just have it be one biped? :/ I meant the walking on part of the script when I mentioned it, sorry :l

Is the head a vehicle or a biped?

all three parts are vehicles

And there is 3 parts
1. head
2. body
3. ????

Whats 3?

Probably legs?

Well, I hope someone can get the tags to work with OS Sapien 4.0, and the scripts get re made, or someone gets them off kirby. I'd ask, but I am more then useless with scripting.

Right... Because Scarabs have hearts now...

Of course they do. Don't tell me you don't believe in the tooth fairy as well.

No no, I'm just saying I've only seen the inside of 2 types of scarab, halo 2, All it had inside of it was a ramp. And Halo 3, it had a brain, I didn't see a heart though...
And don't worry, the tooth fairy is real.

Yeah I distinctly remember those two elites you had to kill in halo 2, at which point the scarab would blow up. In h3 the scarab itself was controlled by an AI.

Which I imagine my have a further mastery control source in a covy cruiser at low orbit.

Yeah, the halo 2 scarab was invincible, unless you killed a few covy's in it. Why? it just seems a bit thoughtless... As in no effort went into it

Perhaps there was another certain step to be taken to fully cripple the scarab except bungie left it out because they didn't feel like animating it.

Okay, well because I feel like making this big long quote even longer, how would you use this scarab in a map? Single-Player or Multi-Player?
