Sapien Problem

[Gla§§]

Every time I load my scenario with Sapien, it opens and immediately closes.

I did find this list of problems, and it had mine but gave no real solution to the problem. THe solution it gave was "SOLUTION: Your scenario is either referencing a corrupt shader_transparent_chicago, or the shader is referencing corrupt items)". It says it is saying there is a corrupt file but I just reinstalled HEK, and my materials came from bitmaps supplied with HEK.

If anyone can help me please do, I've had this error at least 50 times re-trying.

These errors are hard to fix as they dont say which file isnt right. what scenario are you opening? If its a downloaded one you may not have a file its refrencing or the file may be screwed. the only way to find out is to go into the scenario file and try and find the shader_transparent_chicago refrence its talking about. well, there may be other ways but i havnt had a computer in ages and i kinda forgot how to use half of HEK. :S

Actually innova, it does.

I am not sure what that is, but im just trying to be helpful.

Thats a warning. Not an error. The map dosnt need background sound but the warning is just telling the user there isnt any just incase they want some.

This part is the error

It only half tells you what went wrong and where.... Well, it does tell you everything but would you really want to look at the map in HEX to find the errors? lol

Its because you saved a haloCE file in the HaloPC folder... duh?

uhm no.

I'm not that stupid.
you may have gone over your head thinking that just because

\halopc\haloce\source\tag_files\tag_groups.c,#3157: #0 is not a valid shader_transparent_chicago_map_block index in [#0,#0)

the directory says halopc, yes, but, the directory for halo (not CE) is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo

notice: it is not halopc.
This may be that because halo Ce may take files from halo, I didn't program Sapien.

I found out the solution to the problem a while ago, it was a geometry problem, duplicate faces or something like that.
