By "creep" you mean that purple covie transport bus type thing on Newmombasa? cos if so i would also want to know how to get it onto other maps.

To get the Scarab on the map you can do one of two things; 1. Inject the Scarab machine tag from 03b_newmombasa, then spawn it on the map (it will never move this way), 2. You could just bring over the hlmt and change the warthog or some other vehicle's hlmt to the Scarab's to make it move. In reguards to the Shadow (Creep) you just bring over the vehicle tag from 03a_oldmombasa and then fix the seats. To fix the seats just open up the seats reflexive in Insolence and change the creep_d to warthog_d and the creep_p to warthog_p and creep_g to warthog_g and then change the plugin to XML and then change the "seat disable" value to False for #'s 0-11 in the drop down box.

so i would use this tutorial for the creep but instead of the pelican the creep--

red=tutorial-

)----ADD PELICAN TO A MAP-----

Step-1 Open Maps
First, open Insolence. Now, open the multiplayer map in which you would like

to play with the driveable pelican. Also open 05a_deltaapproach.map.

Step-2 Drag and Drop
To add the vehicle you must drag over the vehicle pelican. It will drag over

the other pelican vehicles for you. Navigate your way to the pelican under

the vehi tag. Drag and drop it from 05a_deltaapproach.map to your map that

you want the pelican in.

Step-3 MoveBox
Each time you drag & drop a tag, a small status box will pop up to give you

information about what the program is doing while you wait. The longest part

is usually "Relinking" and it may seem like it froze.. It didn't, it just has

to do a lot of file reading & writing at this point, so let it be. When the

move is done, the box will go away.

Step-4 Close unneeded maps
Close 05a_deltaapproach.map

Step-5 Fix Seats
Since this vehicle was made for campaign you are going to need to change many

string indincies. Select the pelican vehicle and double click it. Then

underneath the change plugins there should be the following text "IFP Plugin

-"Vehi"Edit mode". Click it and it will change and say "IFP Plugin-"Vehi"Dev

mode". From there go to Unknown 11 under Reflexives. Underneath the words

"Author: Iron_Forge" There is a drop down bar with and arrow on the right

side with a bunch of numbers. We will only need to edit 0-11. Under the 0

change the first string ID to "warthog_d". Then you are done. Go to 1, and

change the first string ID to "spectre_p_r". Do the same for 2-10. For number

11 change the first string ID to "warthog_g".

Step-6 Adding the pelican
First go to 'map options' in the upper left corner and go to 'sort by path'.

Then click multiplayer, and select "multiplayermultiplayer_globals.mulg".

Double click it. Got to Dev mode and choose unkown 2. Choose uknown 2 under

that, and choose number 2 in the upper left drop down box. Double click the

ID and change it to pelican, you can do the same for number 3, then there are

no more tanks, only pelicans.

Step-7 Fix encryption
Go to 'map options' in the upper left, and click 'fix map signature' and wait

10-20 seconds, usually less. Then ftp it over to your xbox and enjoy. Note:

The pelican will be flipping wildly, but if you flip it and hold x near the

drivers seat you will get in and drive.


and for the scarub just
To get the Scarab on the map you can do one of two things; 1. Inject the Scarab machine tag from 03b_newmombasa, then spawn it on the map (it will never move this way)
-- and it woulnt freeze?

When I put the Scarab on the map it never froze, if it does for other people I don't know why, but for me it worked fine. Also you didn't need to post the whole tutorial, you could have just said the "Pelican in MP tut" and I think most people would have understood what you meant.
