i try to open a map in sapien, the game window brings a black screen.

the guy who sent me the files and the guy who i sent the files to both have working versions, with texture problems(but thats it). so i'm 100% sure that the problem resides not within the tags, but within my sapien. i meet the minumum requirements. sapien used to work half a year ago but no longer does. i can't test on anything except the one map because i lost the tutorial.scenario and tool brings up too many errors for me.

should i reinstall the HEK or is there a quicker solution?

it should work. Maybe you didn't do lightmaps?

again, it works for the guy who sent it and the guy who i sent it to, the problem lies within my HEK.

also, just now i got a new sapien message: could not teleport camera into starting BSP. its in a slightly darker gray than the others. this is probably the cause... how do i fix it?

You just have to randomly move the camera around untill you see the BSP. It may take some time if you have bad luck.

yeah, but the thing is, for others it started right on spot. he even told me the coords from which i could easily see the level, which i went to precisely.

reinstalling HEK fixed the problem. and i have the tutorial level back.
