this might help some people. I found it on the GB forums.

If, in Sapien, you open a scenerio tag, and it closes very fast, you might have a conflict with your screen color mode. Your Desktop MUST be running with 32 bit colors... right click on the desktop, select properties, pick the Settings tab, and there should be a section named "Color Quality" there, with a dropbox in it. If it doesn't say "Highest (32 bit)" in that dropbox, change it to that. If your computer can't run at 32 bit color, well then you're fucked...

If it is at 32 bit color, and it still has the same closing problem, well them I have no idea... try renamig the scenerio file to something else, I guess...

Ok I am having some trouble making animated scenery. I have made an animation using pathdeform, and the scenery travles along a line. But I don't know hwere to go fromt here. I thought you exported it as a .jma file and a .jms but I did that and I dont see any file there. Only the .gbxmodel.

Please help me.

Sheesh, It's been about 2 months and my sapien still won't function. 2 different scenarios won't function. My color is on 32 bit. And the scenarios don't have any numbers in them. ANY IDEA HOW TO FIX IT?

Q: is there a way to de-compile a map to a .scenario file?

When HMT 4 comes I'm sure they finnaly made it so you can save it as the original tag...

i followed the tut and made my .map but when i try to play it i get a exception error. and i get this with a few other peoples maps too.
here are a few of the maps that give me this error.
DEEP
FACTORY
JUMP
MEGADOOMER
MOON
about 30 maps work fine but 5 or so do this
does anyone know why this happens or how to fix
also when i load tool.exe it says can't find toolbeta.map, no big deal runs ok still i think.

and for those of you with this prob, goto windows\system(32) and copy the cmd.exe and paste it into your halo ce folder this will get around the navagation, and let you run tool.exe easy

WHERE DO YOU GET THESE PROGRAMS? lol I am clueless with this stuff. I wanna make my own map, but I don't know where to get this stuff.

PS - Where/how do I get 3DS Max?

Sonictag · Post by **Sonictag** » Mon Feb 28, 2005 8:32 am

Get 3ds max trial at www.discreet.com or you can download gmax which is free.

You can go there to download Halo CE, HEK, and one helluva headache

And to export as .jms (for mapping) you must get the

Blitzkrieg Plugin (3ds Max)
or the
Chimp Plugin (gmax)

Chimp is known to have issues though...

I just downloaded HEK, and 3ds max 7, and according to HEK i have to go into the c:\programfiles\microsoftgames\halocustomedition\blitzkrieg\ and then copy the blitzkrieg.dle file, and paste it into the plugins for 3ds max7, but then, when i start up 3ds, i get an error sayin,"blitzkried.dle failed to initialize, because the specified procedure could not be found. I have tried this many times, and the same thing happens. What am i doin wrong?
