Tried placing the cmt playable elite_v2 biped into the tutorial map to tinker with it, and it placed fine in Sapien. However when I try to compile the map to get it in-game, I end up with this error in the debug.txt:

11.13.14 11:03:28 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

I've narrowed it down to the .gbxmodel, if I dereference that from the biped tag, everything compiles just fine. Any ideas on what inside that may be going wrong? I copied everything straight out of the release pack, so I doubt it's corrupted, and I overwrote all necessary tags, so no old remnants are sticking around and it's not referencing anything but the new material from the release.

tool errors though.

It might as well say:

11.13.14 11:03:28 FUNK_OFF

okay... this is the cmt elite biped? with different variants including a top hat? yes i agree... it doesent work..... the gbxmodel is corrupt or soemthing..... it loads it in sapien but it crashes upon build.

If tool crashes with that error during the "streaming model vertex and index buffers" operation, you are almost certainly overrunning the maximum amount of model data permitted in a map. It has nothing to do with file access permission (the "access violation" refers to the result of the overrun). If you remove enough model data from the map you're trying to build, that error condition should go away.

You are correct, I ended up putting the bipeds alone into a different map and it worked fine. I was putting them into my testing tutorial variant which has an absolute abundance of crap. Cleared some out, error is gone, everyone's happy.

Great work on the elite, too!

thanks for that info.... i guess i had too much shirt in the map :) XD i did like the top hat monicle elite.... the elites are very cool.... that monicle one was epic.

You had too much shirt in your map.

It's fine he added levi's.

hey nex i was curious if you got the elitemp lua script working on sapp.... or if anyone has for that matter.... how would one convert a halo phazor script to a sapp script?

With the map editor?

Duh even I knew that and I am special Ed. what are tits for?

welp i guess it wont be done cause i know less than 0% lua scripting.... LOL nah but srsly.... i will donate to someones paypal if it gets done cause i have no idea what to do.
