i downloaded these http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2018 then fixed them and added frame, then i saved as JMS, then i went to tool and when attempt to compile to wont work its just starts then finished succesfully but did not pickup JMS file nor did I see a gbxmodel file in tags, one thing I dont understand is, if the model compile wont read it, how did collision compile read the collision JMS? any reason why it doesnt show the results when compile JMS into gbxmodel?

i did that already! but this is all it showed

Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'

it did not picked up my JMS file.

it should show like this:

### mg34.jms


	  detail 	worst-case	worst-case

	  level  	 vertices 	triangles 

	---------	----------	----------

	 superlow	       214	       146

	      low	       214	       146

	   medium	       214	       146

	     high	       214	       146

	superhigh	       214	       146

Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'

thern where is it cuz i did not find the created directory file nor the folder in tags!

If you saw somthing like that you should have your .gbxmodel tag. I'm going to assume you are compiling a model (not a bsp) and that you didn't see that message and try to help you.

First you need to have your exported .jms model in, for example, (I'm just guessing because I can't remember the default path for HALO CE and I can't check it because I'm at college)

C:\\Program Files\Microsoft Games\HALO Custom Edition\data\scenery\houses\houseA\models

Then you need to type somthing like this into the command prompt:

tool model scenery\houses\houseA

(it could be tool models scenery\houses\houseA)

Notice that I did not type

tool model scenery\houses\houseA\models

this is because tool automacticly looks for a folder called models that is inside the folder you told it to look in. Also you must not have any spaces in the names of the folders in the data folder.

This should give proof of what I am talkin about


it wont export my .JMS file! I also went to the tags directory and didnt see my folders or file!


IT WONT EXPORT ANY of MY SCENERY JMS FILES!!!

I even made one of my own t still wont export

do i have to add markers and nodes or something?
cuz the ONLY marker i added in scenery file (according to a tutorial) was Frame.

I'm guessing that you aren't aloud to have spaces in the .jms's name either, but that picture shows you have a space in the name "building 1" so that's bound to be your problem. Change "building 1" to "building1" or "building_1" and it should work.

Edit: is it probably the Exporter? I use Bluestreak

1st tool ++ fails, use the comand prompt.
2nd i dunno if it matters for scenery but bitmaps with numbers in name wont compile so i would maybe change to letters

screw this I CANT MAKE A SIMPLE SCENERY COMPILE ON THIS STUPID COMPUTER!!!!!!

it works when comoiling weapons, bipeds, and vehicles BUT NEVER SCENERY FRIKIN SCENERY AND MY DAMN PEICE OF BS COMPUTER WONT ALLOW IT TO COMPILE!!!!!!!!!!!


I CANT MAKE ANY MAPS CUZ OF THIS COMPUTER!!!!

I never knew that Halo CE made people regress to early childhood.... learn something new every day. Please refrain from the tantrums.

please forgive me for the rare tantrum I was just tired of this stupid computer of mines as it acts as a Windows 98 and my parent refuses to buy a new one.

not even on my birthday (which was yesterday)
