Does my Sapien hate me with a passion?!

[Branden90210]

Hey, i need some serious help with sapien!

Ive spent HOURS of research on how to fix the problem, but have found nothing.

When ever i open the tutorial senario, i get all these white windows and then it freezes (yea i know, its a common problem)

All of the fixes people tell me just fail! ive tried everything!

For example: Someone told me i needed to press ctrl+alt+Delete and then choose set affininty.

One problem. I Dont even have that option!!!!!

so will someone plz help me out?

Heres my info:

Im on a laptop with ONE core (not dual)
Yes, i am running it on 32 color bit
On windows XP

Any suggestions?

And sorry it says E3pO, i thought taht if i used a hacked version, it would work....but of course it didnt =/

[Cryticfarm]

I think your tags are messed up.

[Branden90210]

like which one/ones?

[L0d3x]

I'm guessing your jackall tags.

[Branden90210]

After i delete those tags, then what should i do?

[Andrew_b]

Use Hek+ to get all the tags again.

[CDK908]

doesn't hek+ not extract bitmaps? from what i see he's missing bitmaps tag and some shaders and effects.

[Andrew_b]

It does.

[Branden90210]

I dont care if i have all the tags or not.

What im really concerned about is how do i open sapien?

[WarKing3]

To lower confusion, uninstall HEK, then re-install it, then download the Ghost's tagset, extract it, open the "new Tags only" folder and move the tags folder into your Halo CE directory, say yes to the overwrite.

Sapien then worked for me.

[BrainEater]

He doesnt need to do that, he just needs to do this:


Open Hek Plus.

Open a map that has the jackel in it (Ill use a30, otherwise known as Halo)

Click on the characters folder

Then drag the jackel folder over to that Tag Extraction box on the right

Next to the folder thats now on that box, click on the checkbox thats there. (its to the left of the folder.)

Click start.

With that, its done. Try loading in Sapien now.

[Branden90210]

Both of your ideas sound great but one thing, i already deleted my jackal tags and tried loading sapien and it didnt work, so its not that....ill try warking's idea later, im kinda busy but thanks anyways.

[Andrew_b]

Did you REPLACE them? Of course if you delete the tags it will still crash. THEY AREN'T THERE.
