I try to load any .scenario tag with Sapien and the program will just freeze as it boots up and crash. I'm not trying to make a new map but modify existing campaigns to add new scenery weapons enemy spawns etc.
So how can I load a stock campaign .scenario tag into sapien? is it possible? Also I don't know if anyone still does Halo Xbox but Sparkedit corrupts campaign maps when saving after duplicating things .. |

Debug.txt will tell you why Sapien crashes
Sparkedit was made by Grenadiac over a decade ago. At the time we had a basic understanding of the mapfile, and the scenario tag. This understanding did not include scripts. If you save any map containing scripts in sparkedit it overwrites that section of data and corrupts the mapfile. Dont even need to duplicate AFAIK; opening and saving breaks the map. |

I was missing a bunch of .weapon and .vehicle tags [I'm assuming are campaign specific] .. debug.txt help me tremendously with troubleshooting .. found the extra tag set on this site at "http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1389" .. thank you guys.
also re sparkedit .. I can play SP maps with scen objects being translated, but not duplicated .. using vbindiff I see that when sparkedit handles duplications in single player maps, 0x42 bytes are overwritten somewhere in the scenario tag, while for multiplayer 0x42 bytes are injected, and one byte is incremented [the number of objects in that tag], and a number of other 4 byte values following it are incremented by 0x42 [which I assume is the size of the data] .. like anyone cares anymore. ;] Quote: --- Original message by: XxPopeAK49xX Why modify something already perfect?

I agree with you about perfection though .. it's why I cling to the original Halo engine so much .. why would I rock anything less than perfect ;] Edited by KasperZERO on May 23, 2017 at 01:06 AM Edited by KasperZERO on May 26, 2017 at 12:43 AM |

It won't get you there, but this will steer you in the right direction. |
