It matters... are you making a HaloCE "mod" (new map of bg just different) or is it for HaloPC? It also matters what the tags are, you may have to PMI them in which is sort of difficult... there are lots of PMI tuts out there so if that's what you're looking for great.

BUT, if the tags are something like .actor_variant or .scenario then they re most likely HaloCE tags and only usable with HEK. If you have any more questions just post them here, pm me, or AIM me.

Here is where you can get the .scenario tags for all the "test" levels (by test I mean bloodgultch and all the mp maps):

Also, when you recreate bloodgultch I would name it something like "bloodgultch_with_hover" or whatever. It's just that if you leave it as just bloodgultch, you won't be able to play any of the bloodgultch games on CE because if a map with the same name doesn't match up, it won't let you join... if you need help with Sapien just ask...

Sorry, I am not logged in now... ok, here goes about sapien:

1. Save those new tags youm got to your tags folder and make sure that they all align (ex. you don't want it to make all the maps folders in your tags folder...)

2. Open Halo Custom edition/tags/levels/Test/Bloodgultch.scenario

3. Let sapien open. It'll take a couple minutes, depending on your computer.

4. Close all the windows except the game view, properties, and Hierarchy...

5. In hierarchy, you should see 1 folder called "Mission". Click on the plus sign to open it up.

6. Open up the "Objects" folder, then the "Units" folder.

7. Click once on the "vehicles" folder to see the vehicles you have...

8. Then, at the top left corner of the Hierarchy box click "Edit Types".

9. This'll open up a box and you want to click the "Add" button.

10. Navigate to where you saved the tag and click ok.

11. Go to the game view and right click anywhere on the map to place the vehicle into the level.

12. It'll probobly not be the vehicle you want, so go to the properties pallete and the top drop down box is labeled "type". Click and drag down to your vehicle.

13. It will replace the vehicle it was to the vehicle you want it to be.

14. Save the scenario as anything but "bloodgultch" and open tool and run the build cache file command (that you already know about).

Hopefully I made this a noob friendly as possible...

sorry man didnt know about that lol. by the way thanks so much. ive looded everywhere but couldnt find anything on how to do this. ive seen the command for the cache thing ill go find it again. how do i open tool? do i use command promt?

SMASH · Post by **SMASH** » Thu Apr 27, 2006 8:07 pm

I would oper the command prompt in you HAloCE root directory. If it's mot there you can open up command prompt from anywhere and type in CD C:/Program files/Microsoft Games/Halo Custom Edition. Then just type tool and it ill bring up all the commands... you want build-cache-file... so you type tool build-cache-file "WHATEVER YOU NAMED YOU SCENARIO HERE WITH OUT THE QOUTES". It may say that it can't find you scenario. If that's so, just look at where it's looking (it'll tell you in tool) and just copy and paste the .scenario file where it's looking and press up and enter to rerun the previous command.

GOOD NIGHT! IF YOU HAVE ANYMORE QUESIONS JUST PRT THEM AND I'LL ANSWER THEM TOMMAROW... also, do you want a sig? I'll make one for you... then you'll look like less of a n00b... you might also want to fix your grammer... at least capitalize the first letter of a sentence... itmakes you look unintelligent the way you do it...
