Hi Hillbilly,

seeing as you're new to this, I'll assist you in the process of getting your .scenario file working in Sapien, AND getting it in-game and some other basic stuff

The reason Sapien crashes is either a tag is corrupt or you're missing tags. In this case you're missing tags.

Basically, tags are game data which is easilly modifiable with Geurilla. They consist of weapons, projectiles, bipeds, vehicles, effects, etc. You're unable to open the .scenario file because you're missing the tags listed in that debug dump.

To get these tags, you will use Halo Editing Kit Plus to extract the tags from a .map file. HEK Plus works with the original Halo PC maps, as well as Halo CE maps.

Using Halo Editing Kit Plus, open the a10.map from your Halo/Maps (NOT custom edition). Highlight all of the tags in the middle window, drag them to the bottom right window for extraction. Right click>Check all. Do NOT save extracted tag list. Be sure that the tag output folder is Halo Custom Edition/Tags.

When that's done, your /tags/ folder should contain all of the files you need and you will be able to open your .scenario file in Sapien. Be sure that if you plan to get a map in-game, you save it as a NEW scenario, never replace the stock ones.

Once you've saved your .scenario, you're going to use Tool to convert it into a .map file. To do this, make a copy of cmd.exe, which SHOULD be in your system32 folder, and place it in your Halo Custom Edition root directory. Run cmd. Then type in, "Tool Build-Cache-File Levels\YourLevel\YourScenario." The directory you type must be the location of the .scenario file in your Tags folder. Like, say if the location of your .scenario was Halo Custom Edition\Tags\Levels\ILiveOnAnIsland\MyIslandIsAmaz ing.scenario, you'd type "Tool Build-Cache-File Levels\ILiveOnAnIsland\MyIslandIsAmazing"

Tool is a bit tricky with the directories. If you use it for things like models, they must be in Halo Custom Edition/Data and be inside of a /Models folder. Same with things like bitmaps and sounds I believe. For converting .scenarios to .maps, they must be in the Halo Custom Edition/tags folder.

Also, if I were you, I'd mess around in Guerrilla and modify some weapons for fun. Make the shotgun fire 50 Fuel Rod projectiles, make the Pistol have a clip size of 200 and fire at 100 rounds per second. Make the needler scope in and fire tank shells, just get a feel for it. Just be sure to never overwrite old weapons, and make an .item_collection for all of your new ones so you can put them around your map in Sapien.

There's no scripting language you have to learn for this basic stuff and it's easy to work with once you know what you're doing.

Hope you get somewhere, lolz
