H2 Sapien Problem?

[KyleBoyer]

Hey guys I have been trying to make a Halo 2 Vista map for the first time and I have 3ds max 7. I made my max file exported as the Bungie ASS(.ass) file. But when I convert it to scenario and try to open it in H2 Sapien then it loads for a sec, but then it says my file is corrupt and it will close now. Please help me!!! I have the folders set up correctly and everything. Please help.

Here is a link to my max file: http://www.mediafire.com/?dz7cmh69141z8op

Please help me out.

Compile the .ass file without light. Then compile it with the lowest light option. Then compile it once more without light.

Now open the new .scenario in Sapien. If it fails to open then post back.

Might as well make this, or one of the other 20 threads about this same issue, a sticky perhaps...

Did you setup your shaders properly?
I would get this on my first map when i didn't know how to setup shaders correctly

[KyleBoyer]

Umm, i dunno what you mean by shaders... If its the textures I used the ones that came with Halo 2 Map Editting Kit.

Try converting polys (your skybox) to editable meshes..

Okay if you do not know what a Shader is then first you need to help yourself and read the manual: http://www.monstrmoose.com/MMrepository/tutorials.html

K, umm I still have no clue how to set my shaders and if I did I wouldnt even know it. Ill try the edittable meshies thing and post back afterwards.

Still has the same error.
