Scenery tag error in Sapien

babelfish · Post by **babelfish** » Sun Mar 11, 2007 8:18 am

Alright the problem I'm having is this:
I downloaded a couple scenery tags from halomaps.org
Some of them work (I got a bloodgulch base tag to load correctly in sapien), but most of them give me an error saying it couldn't find the files.
This is the error I get...

What I think is that either the .scen files I have arn't extracted to the right directory OR the shaders used by them arn't in the right directory.
Heres an image of the directory I set up for "icefields_base"...

One last thing to help is the link to the icefields_base.
http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=3&fid=2117
This way, if you want, you can see the exact files I downloaded and where I should put them.
hmmmm that's about it I think.
Ah also if anyone knows of any places where I can get more scenery\vehicle\weapons\etc. tags please tell me! I've only been able to find a couple on halomaps...
Thank you for the help!!!

EDIT: Another thing >.>
The icefields_base I dl'ed only had the 3 files you can see in my directory picture. (it did have jpegs from the site and readme files but they are irrelevent) Shouldn't it have came with shaders and/or bitmaps along with the model, scenery, and collision files? Maybe it's not required, but I thought this might help a little too.
EDIT 2: Picture of the errors I got after trying to load the tag.

you probably didn't place it in the right folder

That's what I was saying...but I don't know which folder to put it in so that's not very helpful >.> If anyone can download it and get it to work PLEASE tell me where you extracted it. Thanks!

im not going to download it but open up the scenery tag in guerilla and look and see if there are any directories in red. if they are, then move the folder where that directory is.

EDIT: i looked at your first picture and you have like 3 folders that are the same. you have "G:\Halo Custom Edition\tags\scenery\Icefields_base Scenery Tags\icefields_base\icefields_base"

make it so it is ""G:\Halo Custom Edition\tags\scenery\icefields_base" and put the tags in that folder.

Thanks,
I'll see if the directories are different in geurilla
I've tried putting the files in just the icefields_base directory but it didn't do anything different. The only reason you see the 3 folders that are the same was because I just reextracted it to show what the original directory was.
I'll edit this post when I check the tags.

Oh, wait, thats my base. Your problem is you need all the bitmap tags for all the levels in your tags or it wont use the tag.
I did mess up the decals and im posting more sceery tags and some fixes @ my site. See Sig

You might also want to checkout the error chart if you have anymore

bitmaps for all the levels?
I'm not really sure exactly what you mean.
If possible can you list me all of the files I need to have in the icefields_base folder? Better yet if you can post a picture of the folder and its files

btw I just got your infinity base as well from your site (the one in your sig) and I could actually open this one...however the shaders looked all weird (purple and transparent metal...O.o) I also looked at your video that came with it..watching it right now

and it doesn't look any different from my directory...I'll see if the tags in geurilla have different paths for the shaders.
Thanks for the help please reply with more info

EDIT: hmmm just finished the video and the skin at the end of the video has the same effect as mine...that is the "glass" you were talking about I guess. Did you make this video before you released the tags because it doesn't have the metal floor like the original. I will see if I can change back to metal. But I still havn't figured out how to fix the icefields scenery. Like I said I think this is because it didn't come with it's shaders. Do I have to copy certain shaders\bitmaps or make them in geurilla?
Thanks
EDIT 2: sorry for so much text >.> anyway the infinity base is working FINE for me now

Just need to figure out that icefields one (it looks so cool :O) I'll try the same technique as the infinity one. *crosses fingers*

EDIT 3: so many edits..lol OK IT WORKS (icefields) and it looks like this same technique with the .gbx files works with all my scenery tag problems!!!! I still have one problem though with the ladders and blue/red symbols. Since it's transparent behind the main part of the ladder or symbol you can see through the entire base and it looks off. Is there a way to get the red AND blue base? or at least get rid of the blue/red symbol so its just metal and not both blue/red?
Thanks again
LAST EDIT (i think?) i swapped all the shaders for metal and its all good now

The metal on the ladder part is weird looking because it wasn't seperatly uvw'd but it won't be too noticable with a ladder on it.
And matooba your site saved me lol keep up the good work ^^
