Just had to add in that IRC, huh?

Well first it may be that there is not if not RAM left on your PC which means close so programs. Also you may have done something wrong, check the tag in Guerrila for any red lines.

Yeah, i have that though sometimes cause there are no red lines in the scen tags but red lines in the things that go in the scenario.

It gets overwhelming having to fix everything.
But in the end if you have a good map its worth it.

You have the .scenario in HALOCE ROOT DIR\tags\levels\yourmap\yourmap.scen

Right? Or with splinter i think he puts it in levels\test

Yea i have splinter.scenario in the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\tags\levels\splinter\splinter. scenario" directory. and about what nsilva said about the RAM left, is there a way i can increase my RAM

You gotta buy a card but turn off your computer and put the ram card in an anti-shock bag and take it to your local CompUSA or any PC store. They will help you find higher RAM that will fit into your Motherboard...

Or you an write down its model, and the motherboard name, model, etc etc

make sure your color resolution is set to 32bit, then try it

open the debug.txt in your halo ce root folder and post the very last entry here.

this is what i found was my biggest problem i was trying to open the scenario file from the tutorial but then i realized i had put the splinter folder in the wrong spot i put it in levels/test and it was just suppose to be in levels so if your using the tutorial one make sure its in levels that stopped mine from closing it just looks like it frezzes now but its just loading

i know i already put it in the right spot, it still closes though
