MY SAPIEN WON'T WORK. I replaced the DLL's, my graphics card, my sound card, my tags, and my applications multible times. I did this with reinstalling hek, also. I looked in the debug text file and it shows errors relating to Windows Vista. So I ran it under compatibility mode and it sill didnt work. Almost FOREVER...I've been populating maps with Kornman's Hacked guerilla and the 3 numbers to be filled in for locations: x, y, and z. I take extracted maps as scenario files and I copy and paste the location numbers of a random weapon or vehicle into a notepad file, delete that object, and then for a new object paste in those location numbers. That's how I make and populate all my maps. But now I finally need the help of Sapien....Scripts. I can write scripts but I can't compile them! Will anybody help me? My sapien closes down instantly after startup. Help?

did you try a clean map file...it sounds like "there was a sudden halt in halo pc/halo ce/tagset blah blah blah" that problem...just try another scenario.

I'm actually making the library where u play as the Arbiter with elites on your side with alot of halo 2 content. It's a SP map and is technically an AI mod because without AI what else is there to kill? And I got rid of the error. But there is one more error I always get and even when ive fixed all the other errors I never got past this one:
