Need help with sapien and tags.

Jason118 · Post by **Jason118** » Fri May 09, 2008 9:28 am

Ok I need help with a couple of problems. The first one is with sapien the h2 map editor. I want to load some of the halo 2 singleplayer maps into sapien so I can edit them to make a mp map. But how do I convert them to a scenario tag for editing? Also how do I place objects into the map? I loaded up the example scenario but havnt been able to find an object menu anywhere? And finally heres my last question. How to I convert the halo 2 model tags into a model type that I can open in 3dsmax? I apoligise if these questions have been posted a bunch before. But if anyone either knows how or if there is a tutorial somewhere on it then can you please tell me?
Thanks if you do!

(edited) I have yet one more question! Is it possible to make singleplayer maps? If so how, and how do I add AI players to it?

You dont "convert" map files you extract the tag files and kornmans00s radio tool hasnt been released to the general public as far as im aware.

Do you have a link to it please? And I already know about the extracting tags from maps I just accidentally typed in a different word then what I actually meant. Didnt even catch that until you pointed it out. And thanks for the info.

Well Im not the general public am I! LOl. Just kidding. But is there any way to convert tags once they've been extracted into a file that I can import into max? Like .obj or something? The reason is because im making a map and want to use some of the in game models that are in the maps as premade scenery objects to make the map look more halo ish.

But the tags are already extracted. They came with the map editor. Just look in Microsoft Games\Halo 2 Map Editor\tags And also how have other people been getting the model tags converted I know it can be done because ive seen it before. Heres an example. http://forums.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=14577 . I just want to know how I can do that to.
