What do you think of Halo: Reach?
I think it is B.O.R.I.N.G... and I agree with Honorable Heroic Member, "N7R" and I quote...

"You cannot compare Halo 3 to Reach, Reach is not a game, its a disc in a plastic green case called pure fail."

Unquote.

This is a how I got Halo: CE's Sapien to work on your computer. But, first make sure you install Halo: Custom Edition, Halo Editing Kit, and the "Plus" verison as well.
Once installed, place them in your Halo: Custom Edition folder.

- How to get the program ready: -

1.) Right click on it's icon, and go to properties.
2.) Go to the Compatibility tab.
3.) Check, "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
4.) Choose Windows 98.
5.) Check the "Run as Admin" box, too.
6.) Apply and close.

Now, before you edit a map, you must have all it's tags.

- Extracting Tags for the program: -

1.) Open Halo Editing Kit Plus.
2.) Go to your Halo: Custom Edition map's folder.
3.) Open your map. (EX: Bloodgulch)
4.) Take all the tag folders and move them to your
extaction listing.
5.) Extract to your tags folder in the Halo: CE Directory.

- One more tag. -

The last reason why, Sapien fails is that it's missing the fuel rod tags. There are two different tags for the fuel rod.
The Plasma Caster, and the Fuel Rod.

1.) Go to Halomaps.org.
2.) Download the map, "D40" or "The Maw".
3.) Extract all mission tags.
4.) Done.

If that's done, your Sapien program should work without
problems. (Just give it a minute or two to load.)

Good Luck, Glaicer. =)

That's the number of bans in this thread. Next time you want to derail something, go stand in front of a train.

I've never had a problem with Sapien (Across XP/Vista/7), but, good tips for how to get it to work and fix some issues people might have ;p
