I recently downloaded the source for halo ce spv3 b30 evolved tagset,and in sapien it says that the names are to large,how do I fix this?

first, you are going to need to post your debug.txt, so I can confirm what the problem is, second of all, if you aren't using opensauce, that is the problem.

You will need to install opensauce from

https://bitbucket.org/KornnerStudios/opensauce-release/downloads/OpenSauce_Halo1_CE_20150302.msi

Then, follow the instructions, and use OS_sapien.exe and use the tags in that, add them whatever, and then you have to use OS_Tool to compile it, via CMD.exe

so if you were to add the tags in tutorial.scenario, you would use this command

os_tool build-cache-file-ex "" 1 0 1 levels\test\tutorial\tutorial

thank you,i did not know it required a special sapien.OS_sapien dosent work,it just opens then closes,fix?

Where would I get the missing files,they're not in my backup tags folder or my main tags folder and I reinstalled hek,its still not there.

Here is the file

https://www.mediafire.com/?o1ura456njggz7z

you didn't read it correctly I need
flag_blue.shader_transparent_generic
check_vehicle.vehicle
hilltop.shader_transparent_chicago_extended

Just create them your self as dummie tags or remove the missing reference in guerilla.

how,would I do that?

Halo on PC cant utilize transparent shader generic(it was cut from pc when porting over to xbox). It seems like you're trying to port some tags from xbox or making your own. Use any shader other than transparent generic. Idky no one mentioned that yet >_>

Because we aren't as smart as you.

The issue with the shader is,i need it for os sapien
