HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

since this is actually a Halo PC mod, I'm posting it here. i've downloaded a couple of mods that have intelligent AI in Bloodgulch assigned to red and blue teams. i'd like to make a similar mod myself since i can't rebuild a pre-modded map and included sentinels and new projectiles into the mix. can anyone either tell me how or link me to a tutorial on how to convert .map files from Halo PC to .scenario files for the modded sapien? and then of course back to .map files for Halo PC. much thanx!

This is off topic my post but

Your the 4 millionth person to have that title in a post.

lol. yea but it's an attention grabber.

heres how [it should work but some1 said it wouldnt and i have no use of doing it]
get hek+ ope nthe map use hek+ to extract the scenario
then just load it up in sapian

and here is a nice tutorial for the conversion back :p

http://halopc.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1584

right if uneed any help with this pm me at the halopc.net forum [dont come here often]

Thank you!!!! that rocks. And as a token of my graditude, here's a modified version of the map I found online. I preferred the night setting . FIRESTORM

Sapien is being a human? That's scary...

for a secound i thought this was bump because some one made a topic with the same title once but i must ask why is this in the halo pc section

royal is behind on the times
most progressive modders [or most at halopc.net] that use a rebuild will use a custom scenario made with sapain [sparkedit sucks[at least i think it does]]
then u convert it

it is much easyer cause u can have scripts/respawning ai and a bunch of other crap including less / more spawns dicate what weapon spawns for what game type ect...

i am not behind i been modding for awhile i just said why is it in this section its about sapien which there is a section if he needs help with sapien he should post there

mmm but it was sapian help
he need info on how to make a file sapian could read so this would be the right forum sides i stil lhave nightmares fro mkthe posts i have seen the CE ppl make here when a pc person wonders in with a pc question

lol. well to clarify this is a mod for Halo PC that I'm putting together using Sapien since it seems to give you more options concerning the addition to AI. I took a look at the tutorial though and I'm still a little unclear as to actually convert a Halo PC .map file into a .scenario file. Also, when you convert, do you drag the new tags into the list like you would if you were using Insolence for Halo 2? this is fun

yeah u drag the tags to the extract que and if u check the side thing next to it i belive it is recrusivly extract

I appretiate the help but there isn't an extract recursive on there. again, does anyone here know how to convert a halo pc .map file into a .scenario file that can be edited in sapien? if not, can you direct me to a tutorial. thanx!

let's just say i have exported the tag list using HEK+. Okay now what as far as making a .scenario file?

Just find it, it's there. It'll prolly be in the levels\test\ folder in the tags folder in the CE directory. Fire of Sapien, and find it in it's proper level folder.
Ya should be thankful, Sapien and HEK are one of the most user friendly-designed mod tools (official) EVER.

tool isnt user friendly, it doesnt even have a ui

i hate tool probley why i dont make maps because of tool

why would you hate tool.... if it wasnt for tool, every map made would be horrible... exceptions, holes in the bsp... etc etc...

When you say find "it" do you mean the exported tag list? i have it saved to my desktop, but i don't know what to do with it from there.
