sapien is being homo sapien

ApocalypseTyrant · Post by **ApocalypseTyrant** » Sun Mar 12, 2006 8:32 am

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!

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

[users]conure · Post by **[users]conure** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 1:29 am

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

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

[users]conure · Post by **[users]conure** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 7:54 pm

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

ApocalypseTyrant · Post by **ApocalypseTyrant** » Sat Mar 18, 2006 5:30 pm

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!

ApocalypseTyrant · Post by **ApocalypseTyrant** » Tue Mar 28, 2006 1:55 pm

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

SuperSunny · Post by **SuperSunny** » Tue Mar 28, 2006 7:59 pm

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

Kurroda · Post by **Kurroda** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 5:13 am

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

Phenomena · Post by **Phenomena** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 7:13 am

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

ApocalypseTyrant · Post by **ApocalypseTyrant** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 8:49 am

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.
