did you get the vehicle tag in the rebuild?

and if you are running vista did you open the map as an admin? if not it loads the regular bloodgulch...dont ask me why.

lol...no i cant do that...i dont have the time...im working on another CE->PC mod hopefully it will be better, and this one will take like a week instead of 2 days :P

ok but do this...

put a mongoose into your tag folder...open it in guerilla make sure ALL the tags in the mongoose folder are black and not red (if they are read try to choose another tag that makes sense :P) and then place one mongoose in your map with sapien. compile your new map (bloodgulch2.map or something [whatever scenario you use, that will be your map file...so make a copy of bloodgulch and name it bloogulch 2]).

now convert the header to pc.

and open up the converted map in HMT, and the normal bg in HHT

go through all the tags, and which ever ones arent in the normal one...extract those :P

hope this helps
