The Open Sauce Hek quick debug/tutorial thread

[Dwood]

Okay so lately I've decided to take a dive into Open Sauce's new Hek. While some have claimed it is buggy, I will admit I have had problems as well, however most, if not all of them are quickly fixable.

The first error I've ever gotten was the (slightly) infamous "kludge" error.

^^^^ With default Open Sauce coded .dll compiled (kludge error)

With normal d3d9.dll:

Just cut and paste the Opensauce/d3d9.dll to outside of HaloCE's root directory while using OS_Sapien. As far as I'm aware, Sapien is the only hek tool that has this problem.

Project_Yellow tag:

There's another error, which is quite interesting, because I didn't even know of the tag's existence, was Korn's "i've got a lovely bunch of corncobs.project_yellow" tag.

-----> If you got this you did not properly set your Project_Yellow reference (that is the default tag if you save/open a map from guerilla or sapien that hasn't been used with OS_hek yet)

Open guerilla, file -> new -> project_yellow, for best results, I think that using the same name as the map would work best. (for an example, i'll use tutorial) name it tutorial. From there you will see a list of brand new fields:

For now, just save the project_yellow tag without changing anything. Next, open the scenario tag from OS_Guerilla. At the top, you will see a part called "project yellow definitions" click browse, and go to your project_yellow tag and press ok.

Was that so hard?

Old Fix:
Just create your own tag with that name and put it at the root of the Halo_CE folder, I'm not sure what references it anywhere though.

Another thing is that if you have OS_guerilla open, and can't see the "project_yellow" tag type when creating new tags, cut and paste the tag_groups.map file from the original OS_folder you extracted the OS_hek from.
