there are many

most of the tags i have downloaded, i can't use.

They either crash Sapien, or won't show up in game.

for example: i downloaded the Lambo Tag and it shows up on the Map while i'm in Sapien, but won't show up on the Map while i'm in game.

and most of my weapons tags cause Sapien to crash.

is this a normal thing to occur ?

No, not normal at all. Can you give us a list of some of the tags you've tried? Normally the tags on this site are tested first (i think) to see if they actually work.

Did you add those lambo tags to globals.globals? Or alternatively, you can also give the object a name in sapien when you place it, then ingame type object_create_anew "name of vehicle here, include the quotes"

Tags aren't tested on this site.
The lambo may not be showing up because he didn't set it in the globals, and if you try compiling a map (or looking at the debug.txt) you will see the errors that are preventing you from loading Sapien due to missing tags.

I don't even know what Globals are.

I just downloaded the tags and merged the folders


rocket rifle
rocket propelled grenade
pancor jackhammer
etc....
are some weapons that crashes Sapien

None of these work for me either

G36 family weapons tags

what is the difference between an .item_collection file and a .weapons file ?

perhaps i'm loading them wrong, although i don't get any red text in Guerrilla when i do.

The item collection allows the weapon that it's referencing to be spawned in MP

Check debug.txt please.

I loaded them like i would any other tag though.
For Example, i download the "Dark Matter" Plasma Rifle and placed it in my Items Collection Folder, and it works.

I just noticed that with the g36c etc..., when i go to open it under Items > Weapons, i get a error pop up. And when i go to NetGame Equiptment > Item Collection, i can place it on the Map, but if i try to load the Scenario again in Sapien, Sapien crashes.


hmmmm. So i just place it in the Weapons Folder and problems solved huh ?



and i just looked in the "Globals" folder, Do i place my ".effects" files in that folder ?
