Tired of Sapien!!!!!!!

I can't open my .senario file in sapien - heres a picture of what it says


If that picture didn't work the URL is http://freewebs.com/waverunnermods/sapien.jpg

thx for all help

No wonder! It's open, but heres what to do.

Open your .scenerio file in Guerilla. Now, on the top, there is a pull-down menu that says "Solo." Click it, and select Multiplayer instead.
Now, where it says Sky in the same file, find and select a .sky file.

Once done, save.

Then. open your map in sapien, and press the ~ button on your keyboard.

Type in:

Radiosity_Quality 0

press enter

Radiosity_Start

Now, wait for the numbers to go down to 0.
Once done, press the ~ button again, and type in:

Radiosity_Save

Tada! The lightmaps appear!

Halo uses an advanced light module called "Radiosity." It takes the light properties of a skybox to create realistic light around your map, and it takes the light properties of certain shaders that have radiosity power and color enabled.

If the number counter doesn't start when you type in Radiosity_Start, then you didn't follow the HEK tut on adding a skybox material to your geometry.

where is the .sky file

thanks for ur help so far

[SunnySharma]

It's in the Sky folder in your Tags directory. Select a sky! There is also one in the levels\test\BloodGulch folder, and other level folders.

fyi thats not what my map looks like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SunnySharma]

You didn't create your map properly, then! You have no textures applied or anything! No UV's!

Did you follow the HaloMods Video tutorials? They help more than the original HEK tutorial.

[Waverunner]

Ya - i followed the tuts on this site - the only thing I didn't do is make a base - I'm not good at that.

I did make a UVW map.

huh....

[SunnySharma]

Weird, then maybe you missed out on something in the tut.

Heres what I recommend, create a map, follow the tuts exactly, but make sure your map is REALLY simple, textured fine, and has one base.

did you type radiosity_save?
if not, then thats the problem.
did you create shader tags?

[Waverunner]

i did do radiosity save - im not that stupid!!!!

However - for the shader thing all I made was a shader environment in guerilla is that all i need?

thx
