When extracting or having tags for a certain amount of time and application, they files may go corrupt or unusable. That's why you received the error.

I'd simply make a plane and shape it like a leave (by vert modeling it would be very fast, but don't focus on detail, just general shape).

You can animate and rig bipeds using 3ds Max, however, you are at the mercy of no render and some tools that make it easier to animate and model in 3ds Max. There are several tutorials I suggest looking up on Halomaps.org that feature Gmax being used as a rigging program for bipeds in Halo.

better to paint twigs and leaves and alpha out the rest and apply that texture to much simpler geometry.

If you don't know what you are talking about, don't try to act like you do. The only reason the scorpion tags extracted with HEK+ have errors is because HEK+ has a bug in the way it parses the tag data. If I recall correctly, it had to do with the animation tag.

to bad my corel photopaint program is outdated as hell and doesn't always work. is there a good freeware program for this?

GIMP : free

PSPX2 : free trial - $99.99 for full version
(i personally prefer this program and it's not that expensive compared to some of the other software i use)

ok creating some complex textures for maps, and stuff doesn't seem that complicated, what about creating textures and shaders for something like a vehicle? a jet perhaps. also can i add more than 2 types of grenades? have frag, plasma, and flashbang?

No, you cannot do it unless you make the grenade an actual weapon.

well what about making some good textures and stuff for more complex models like vehicles and weapons? does any body got advice or tips or whatever on the subject?

I use GIMP. Seems to work fine for me. Search up some GIMP tutorials and get used to it, then you can texture stuff :)

cI found a map that had turrets set up as Iould I replace the flashlight with the nightvision from the sniper rifle? also I found a map that had turrets set up as Item collections, how do I do that, and can I do it with other vehicles?
