How do I open a Single Player map such as c10, c40, b30 etc... in Sapien? I extracted the tags and have the scenario file but when I open it with Sapien(Running as Admin) it crashes. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

could you post the last entry of your debug.txt please? may be it would help ;)

You need these files to open a campaign map :)

I see the link that you posted Muscl3r, but what do I do with the files. Sorry haven't been on this site in ages and my memory is rusty :P

Just merge the tags folder in the download with the tags folder in you HCE directory.

As for the other errors, you need to extract all of those tags you are missing or correct the file locations if you already have them

After I merged the 2 folders and I loaded up c20 in sapien it crashed again and this is what the debug said, I tried moving c20 to the test folder and the debug text was different when i put it in there, this is the debug text from in the levels folder. I also re-extracted tags as well in HEK+.

if you downloaded from the link muscl3r left then you should have been fine now.
but now you have put the c20 folder into the test folder. it shouldn't be in there, it goes in the same folder as all the other folders named c10, c20, etc.

this is the same layout for the data/levels folder and the tags/levels folder.
maybe since you have been moving folders around to the wrong locations, you should just start with a fresh hek install.

ahhh I see don't worry I can move all the folders back again, and if I can't I will do what you said thanks for the info ally

The error above indicates that your monitor animations are corrupt. Download these:
http://cmt.h2vista.net/maps/downloads/tags/monitor.model_animations
and overwrite your monitor animations with them.

Thanks Gamma I decided to uninstall Halo CE and HEK+ and jus treinstall them and just start over so that nothing is out of place where it shouldn't be but if I come in to that problem I will download that! Thanks for helpin out though :D

Don't worry guys got it all working, thanks for the great help. Next time I gotta learn not to mess with stuff lol. Without that link I probably would've been bored. Expect to see some edited AI maps on SP levels :D....soon.
