I was playing Halo Custom Edition and I noticed that the modded sniper rifle was jet black and had no texture. So I decided to install Open Sauce and see if that made a difference in the textures and shades.

No here is the problem. I ran the installation wizard and installed Open Sauce. When I went to reopen Halo Custom Edition its crashed on start up with "Error! Gathering Exception Data!."

What is this? Why is Open Sauce causing my game to crash, and how do I fix It?

did you install the latest version of OS? 3.1. It should have given you warnings when installing if something was wrong.

which modded sniper rifle? what map?

I know for a fact that using -use11 as a shortcut argument makes plasma rifles appear black in color. If you're using any -usexx flags, get rid of them.(they supposedly don't work with OS anyways)

I will make another thread showing the sniper rifle and map + pictures in a few minutes.

just do it here, it's part of your problem

Okay so here is the sniper rifle problem. This is not a problem with the map because I have the same problem with the same sniper rifle on different maps. Here are some pics to help you understand.

The following image is what the rifle should look like,




This is what I have :(





I really need to get this problem fixed asap.

Post the issue over on the opensauce google code page, in the issues tab
https://code.google.com/p/open-sauce/issues/list
Make sure you include the crash dump from \documents\my games\Halo CE\OpenSauce\Reports\

You can try running HCE with either "-no_os_gfx" or "-no_os_gamestate" the same way you add "-console" or "-devmode" to a CE shortcut, to see if it makes a difference with either of those.

Nope sniper rifle is still black. Does anyone have any other solutions?

I don't think it's a problem with OS.

The black sniper rifles have nothing to do the OS, that is a different problem. The OS problem is that it crashes on start up with "Error, Gathering Exeption Data!" . I only thought OS might fix the problem.

Graffffffffffix problem

What does the multipurpose map look like?

Were you playing this map? http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=6286

Yup that is the map I was playing. This map http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=6349 has the same sniper rifle and the same problem with the same gun. I dont think it is a problem with my pc. Nothing else looks like that.

it's just you. tried those maps with different settings

I could be my settings. What are your setting exactly?

EDIT: Should I re download halo custom edition (backing up my maps first)?

Try reinstalling windows.

That happened to me, so I resorted back to haloce 1.00CE until the next release/fix.

EVERY RENDERED object was black. But the BSP was fine.

EDIT- and YES, it IS an OS problemo.

I played around with my settings, that did not work. I re downloaded a fresh copy of halo ce, still no improvement. I am only having this problem with this one gun, this has never happened before or since.

Could it be that this sniper rifle requires Open Sauce to display textures properly(Just a thought)?

If there is normal/bump maps, those would need OS, sure. But coloring... unless they did something really strange with not using diffused as diffused, that's illogical (So, at that point, its their fault) Rip the weapon, check the shaders.
