Help with sparkedit

Post by Ox_bidder »

Hi, all. I'm new to post topics and stuff here on the forums, but I have been modding for a while now, mostly just meta swaps on HMT and the ocaisonal (Don't know how to spell that) skin. But a while ago I decided to tackle Sparkedit. As you propably can tell, it didn't turn out very well. Heres what happened and what I want help with:

So I once I figured out how to use the camera and stuff, I just went nuts on the level Halo. I copied some stuff using Ctrl+C, and moved some stuff around. When I was done I choose "Save Changes". When I tried the map Ingame, I get a nice little Exeption error.

Now I wonder how to evade this. I have a couple of theories, but haven't tried any of them out yet 'cause I lost my Halo PC cd, so I can't restore the maps.

My theories:
*I moved one of the marines lying in the beggining (not sure if that could cause an execption)

*Sometimes when I moved an object, I slipped with the mouse, and it dissapeared out of view. Could i possibly gone outside the map boundaries, and make that cause the exeption?

*I could have moved some scripted stuff (The Spirit that swoops in at the beggining, and the lifeboats right after you've helped the marines)

*The Copying of stuff+ using only "Save changes" instead of "Save as compressed file".

Grateful for ideas and help what might have gone wrong.

you cant copy things on single player maps. Only move them, or swap them for something else.
