HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

I open up sapien and I select the senario tag from the level I made, then when I click open Sapien opens and then immediatley shuts down. I also tried reinstalling HEK, but still does the same thing. Does anyone know whats wrong with it?

well it could be ram but try to reinstall it or remake ur map(i know it was a long time to make but just the 3dsmax part) then exportit again fix it up with guriella then open it if u want and u have windows xp and lower the priority.

think i might have found something. there is a notepad file in the halo custom edition folder that is named debug. in mine there were about 200 instances of this:

05.23.04 17:12:16 sapien pc 01.00.00.0609 ----------------------------------------------
05.23.04 17:12:16 reference function: _write_to_error_file
05.23.04 17:12:16 reference address: 401b13
05.23.04 17:12:16 Couldn't read map file './sapienbeta.map'

is it a glitch like tools ./toolbeta.map file? or is it something else?

That is like where it wrights down all the (whats the word um whatever) things it has done meaning errors and opened projects. if that aint it then i dont know but the same thing happen to me. When u open it can u go anywhere or does it load then quit.

it loads then quits before i can do anything

First, make sure you aren't editing something uneditable, second, make sure nothing in the HCE directory is read only, third, don't try and open HaloPC maps (just in case you are),and make sure you aren't editing (with Guerilla) anything that Sapien could be using. Other than that, I dunno. Update your video card drivers, etc.

Oh and these:

Don't mean a thing. Apparently there were 3 maps, toolbeta, guerillabeta, and sapienbeta that the programs somehow used.

how do i make files non-read only?
i right click and uncheck the box but when i go back to it its read-only again...dammit all...

I have the same problem.
I've tried what was suggested & everything else I could think of but
I haven't figured out what's wrong yet.

Its a problem. Your scenario wasn't compiled correctly through tool. Try recompiling and checking over your stuff. It worked for me

but tutorial.scenario doesnt work either. and that one came with the HEK

True dat.
At least the tutorial level should work.

Do you have a crappy video card like me?
I don't really think that's the issue, but I know that my video card
sucks so bad that I can't rule it out as a cause.

I just had the same problem, after looking at the files modification dates I deleted the files changed the last day. Now I get sapien running again. I suspect guerilla of doing something wrong with a tag or config file.

First inspect your main directory and try to run sapien.

Bloodcanyon is coming soon

I have a gig of RAm, 2.8 GHz, why doesn't work!!!! It works on my sisters labtop, and she has 512Mb of Ram and 3.0GHz.

i was able to open my scenario in sapein after i compiled it then i closed it to go into guerilla to put sky and other shit in it. after that i returnd to open it back in sapein and the same shit happens to me it reallly sucks, my graphic card sucks but tahts not the problem, i know this becuse i was able to open tutorial.scenario before without problems. and now i can't even open that

ok is the config of your screen at 32 bit cuz @ 16 it won't work

an that ./toolbeta.map is nothing averyone has that

i dont think theres any solution unless you post a pic of a prob you have (I know, it just crashes). Also, post a pic of in-game HaloPC so we can see wat ur video card is like. and tutorial.scenario works, you just have to wait a little while before it loads. Its just like starting the game itself, it has to load the map and the app.

this is wierd man, last night just b4 going to bed i decided to give it a last try, i recompiled my map and then open it and it worked! and so did tutorial. (i had not touched tutorial) and that workd too. theres a very wierd bug. it works sometimes and sometimes doesn't. i'm at school right now. when i get home i'll check to see if i can still open them.
