Well basically I open up Sapien. I follow a tutorial on how to add AI to maps, I extract the map bloodgulch and i don't save the extracted tag list. But here is the problem: Whenever I open up Sapien and open an actor varient, a screen pops up and says: Not all the selected tags could be added to the palette. You selected one or more files that couldn't be loaded correctly. Contact your nearest Bungie Programmer for assistance. I don't know what I could have done wrong. Here is the debug text.

Could this mean I extracted the tags to a wrong folder? Could this mean it's corrupt?

I don't remember overwriting the tags, and also when I went on HEK + the overwrite existing tags box was unchecked. It was never checked to begin with, so should I just reinstall?

you put the tags in the wrong place i think.
Tool can not find them, either, move the tags to the correct location, or fix the red parts in guerilla (open the scenario in guerilla).

well uh, I put the actor tags in the characters tags folder. Am I suppose to put it in a different folder?[I would like to know which is the correct folder] I also opened the scenario in guerilla and I didn't see any red text errors.
If my problem isn't resolved, can I get some tutorials?
Btw, thanks for the help

There are missing tags, see:

that's a shame D: considering I downloaded the tags on this site :(
Do you know where I can get legit elite tags without any missing files?

extract them from a map.

Ok I'll try extracting them from a map and do the same thing i was doing

funny cause you said you downloaded them from this site. unless you meant the map.

These are fairly standard elite AI tags which you should be able to get from any campaign mission. You could either extract them from the Halo PC maps, or from Renamon's converted SP maps if you don't have access to Halo PC.

I have ran into this problem. Hwever, I can't find any instructions on how to use HEK+.

open a map with hek+
look for the tags you need
extract them (check the "use existing folder names" or similar )

Alright, I got it now. Took me a little time to figure out, but, I did. Thank you.

i used to use hek+ until i upgraded my computer and now it crashes when i right click or open a drop box, what would cause this. (just asking here instead of making a new thead).
