Sapien won't open

When I try to open anything in Sapien (even the tutorial) it says it isn't a scenario tag "Bad!" but Guerilla and tool work fine. I've compiled the tut and it works fine in-game except that the ground is invisible.

extract a scenario with HEK + and try that.

heres the link too hek + download.

basically HEK + batch extracts the map you want into your tags folder in Halo CE and allows you too open it in sapien if you cant get that too open then reinstall HEK and check your graphics card. needs too be at least 120 mb or higher

and maybe 64 at minimum

It's a .rar file, how do I unpack it?

open a map then click on the folder that appears with the nam eof the map.

select all the folders in the middle of the program. these are the folders containing the tags for the map.

hit the little blue "+" sign on the right of HEK.

now all the folders will appear in the little white box under the pluss sign. hit the check boxes on all of them.

then hit the extract button.

it will ask you too save a .txt file. this is just a list of tags you can delet it after wards.

now it will extract all of the files in the map too your tags folder in your halo ce directory.

and remember

BACKUP YOUR TAGS FOLDER !!!!

How will extracting all the tags help me to open the map in Sapien?
BTW, my graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce 32/64M.

Because then the object (or in this case scenario) would have all the tags that it needs. If you take an Elite, for example, and extract only that, when you put it into sapien it won't work, unless you recursively extracted it. To recursively extract in HEK+ click the check box to the right of the tag in Tag Extraction Queue

I'm not trying to open an existing map. I'm trying to open my own custom scenario files or the tutorial scenario file.
