Load the map in Halo.
If the get the exception when it says "Loading network server" then there is something disastrously wrong.
If the get the exception when it says "Loading map Bloodgulch" then there is something minor wrong (Eg; a comma in ammo box or something).

Are you importing the AI as well? or just the biped tags?

Ahhh, then go into the folder you extracted everything into and delete the folder named "Powerups".

Your good to go, continue as normal.

When you PMI marine or any type of flood, always delete that folder.

Credit goes to Andrew_b for teaching me this.

I've never had to do that.... I pmied every single AI into danger canyon once, including marines and flood and never touched the powerups folder.

Well, it worked for me when I had issues, so that's what I tell people to do.

Make sure you extract the Biped, Actr and Actv tags of your character, and then select the XXXX.bipd.meta, the XXXX.actv.meta, and the XXXX.actr.meta when you rebuild. The X's are your bipeds name.

Dont select everything it wastes your time. You can select only one of the above, I think it's the ACTR and it selects everything else, but Im not sure so do all three.

Like for example, if you just PMI the Biped, you only have to select the Biped Tag and it selects the bitmaps, models ETC. for you, same as a weapon, pick the .weap.meta and it'll do the rest. Etc. Etc. Etc.

elite.actr.meta
and elite.bipd.meta

Did you extract everything correctly? You made sure to delete the powerups folder in your "New Stuff" Folder and not your "Build" folder right?

**** oh **** suicide time

Let's Not?

Yeah you want to delete the powerups of the marines/flood, not all of them. The map won't recognize the biped's powerups, or something like that, but it tends to enjoy having the healthpacks and stuff on there.
