(first off, thanks to you guys for posting here.. I've learned TONS from searching past topics)

My map looks fine in 3ds max but when i bring it in to Sapien the textures are all wacked..

I have succesfully created anothermap, so I have an idea of what I'm doing..
I have rebuilt this map twice..
I follow the tutorials word for word..
I've run radiosity (start & save)

but it looks like this

it SHOULD look like this

anyone have any ideas??

***UPDATE
I just compiled the level, just for kicks.. and the textures show up fine when played in HALO CE!!!
does that make ANY SENSE ?!?! Sapien is turning out to be a lot like this girl i dated one time..

It's because your graphic suck ALOT.

wow.. what a helpful response..
man, i sure am glad I asked..

that is a temp graphic (and a lame temp map) because after trying it multiple time, i found it wasn't worth the time to make a real ground graphic until i knew it would come out right in Sapien..

Please don't post here with things like that, if you can't help, just don't post.

i also just tried adding a warthog (going by Kirk's tutorial) and it won't show up when the game is played in CE..

has anyone had any experience of Sapien just being corrupted, and spitting out all kinds of messed up tags??

Omg, I had that problem before IT IS YOUR GRAPHICS SO IT IS HELPFUL It's true your graphics suck thats why it's shows like that.
And you gotta add it in the objects section.
Make your vechile show for all games.
When it says type 1-4 put all games.

*sigh*

Sadly, Xbox is correct.

Your graphics card does suck ass. Don't feel too bad, I have the same problem. Especially with snow levels.

Anyways, the warthog problem, try checking out Kirk's video tutorials. They're a big help. Your problem there is that you need to check the neccessary boxes to allow it in Slayer, CTF, Oddball, and KOTH. Its automatically allowed in race, I believe.

alright, maybe i misunderstood you..
do you mean my graphics card ?? or my .tif file used for the ground?

If you meant my card, then I apologize, I misunderstood you...

It is a laptop, and the card is a Nvidia GeForce4 420 Go 32M
so i know it's not a GREAT card, but I would think it would run fine in Sapien if it runs correctly in HALO CE.. but maybe I'm wrong..

as far as the vehicle problem... I do have it selected in all game types.. that's what was confusing me..
I think I'll just delete all of the tags and the scenerio and start again

Well just to say Sapien isn't even really needed if you REALLY know your coordinates you can use Guarrial.
But not suggested.
