Sapien not working

[Lolagesheep]

So I went and loaded a a scenerio in sapien, then it loads a bit then... closes.
I have tried opening other scenerio's but the same thing happens.
It was working half an hour ago, I dont know what happened.

[DarkMetal]

What does the error message in the output file say?

[Lolagesheep]

You what? All it does is closes, no error message or anything.

[kirby_422]

You what? All it does is closes, no error message or anything.

he means debug.txt

go to your HCE folder, find a text file called debug, open it, go to the bottem, read the errors, post em here.

ok one i dunno whats up with the atv but you have to have it in the correct folder so when you input something into sapien watch where it says like mongoose failed to load cause c:\programfiles\microsoftgames\Haloce\tags\vehicles\mongoose\????

make suere that when you the the messages at the bottome when adding somtin to the map is where it needs to be i made a tut on how to do al this heres alink and if your still ahving problems just contact me through msn or xfire [email protected] or xgowxnick on xfire

and don cntact me inless you hvent fixed your problem

[warlord]

the error file even spelled the problem out to you and you still cant figure it out...
sigh

Code: Select all

05.04.07 22:29:40  need to get the following tags:
05.04.07 22:29:40     scenery\blue_teleporter_shield\bitmaps\teleporter_shield_dust.bitmap

meaning a tag your using is referncing that bitmap but the bitmap dosnt exist.

[[SK]Nick[A]]

yea you only get that error when you try to put the mtv or mongoose in there

[warlord]

yea you only get that error when you try to put the mtv or mongoose in there

No.
you get that error if you are missing a file and it notes what file is misssing.

[[SK]Nick[A]]

yea and the mtv cuases that trust me i have tried many times and i get that exact error but when i put other vehicles in its fine but w/e i dont care its not my problem

[Lolagesheep]

Sorry warlord but I already checked that before you said that.
I deleted the Mongoose tags, and got rid of the reference in globals.globals tag.
It started working, so warlord, [SK]Nick[A] was right.

[inferno]

actually i thinik warlords right your just misssing the tag "scenery\blue_teleporter_shield\bitmaps\teleporter_shield_dust.bitmap"

see if its in their. then you may be able too get the mongoose in sapien. and if it is and it still dont work then nullify the dependency thats trying too acsesst the tag.

[inferno]

sorry the post duped

[Lolagesheep]

I don't have that bitmap, but without the mongoose in tags it works fine.

[[SK]Nick[A]]

yea plus youll have to get all the tags from the creator of that mongoose hey warlord tell me did you try nd take the mongoose out of yoyo rast island ><

[Lolagesheep]

No, they were public release tags. Then I tried ripping from yoyorast and got a bunch of things about Horns.

[inferno]

dude go into the mogoose and null out that tag thats missing thats all you need too do and if that dosent work ill upload you a mongoose tag set

[Malolo420]

Warlords right, its not the ATV you just need the tag and it will be fine.
In a way it is the ATV, because it uses that tag.
