So..... here i am again on same old "Gathering Exeption error" topic on the same old Halo Maps Forum having the same old issue. This is because everybody gives up on the topic of the "Gathering Exeption error" and nobody ever really goes back to try to fix the error that so many people are having and nobody bothers to help those people out (like me). and NO I AM NOT HAVING THE POOR ME'S ETHER. Anyways where i am trying to get to is that i am getting really angry because i keep having the same "Gathering Exeption error" and nobody bothers to go and help me out, because they go help other people out (which is not a bad thing, but it can be at times) and so here i am AGAIN try to get some help here, that nobody bothers to give.
Please give me a hand in my time of need.

Thanks

#1 when does it happen
#2 did you mod?
#3.... wait... i ran out of questions....

1. it happens when i am trying to play most Custom Maps and when i am trying to play the CMT version of the Halo PC Campain.
2. what the heck do you mean by "did you mod"?

How do you load the CMT maps?

Through a UI of Course (Duh) and the UI i am using is the Following : Orange UI (User Interface) Map file replacement and or D40 Custom UI (User Interface) Map file replacement, which both Support the CMT and other Custom Campian .map Files.

Hope this Helps

No, he means either through the console or through the multiplayer menu.

If you do it through the multiplayer menu, you're wrong. Enable the console or devmode, and use the map_name command to open it.

what in the world do you mean by "Enable the console or devmode, and use the map_name command to open it"?? And if you did read my last Post i am using a UI.map file for the Campain maps.

Thanks for the Help but..... WTF yes you can open the CMT campain map files from orange ui i have done it before (but now it does not work), it even says here at Halomaps that you can, but i can't remember where to go right now, BUT YOU CAN DO IT SO DON'T SAY YOU CAN'T.
anyways i will try that a get back to you on that after i try it.

thanks for the help.

hey grunt killer 29 i tryed using that, its a really fun program i like it too! it is very useful when getting in a tight spot in Halo, would you not agree? Plus that could be the prob for me too but.. even when i was not using that it still gave me that same prob.

Also What in the World are the "command_map names"??
Edited by videoman on Aug 12, 2008 at 12:39 PM

ok to load a map here is what you would type "map_name (map name)" without the()'s and the ""'s

i had some Question about what you all are saying so here they are"

Can you give me a example of a map Command to put in like
Example: extinction_map or extinction.map?? what do you mean by "mapname"??

#2: when loading a .MAP file do you use Alldev at the Main Menu or already in a Game Level??

#3: is the file i am looking for called "Alldev" (which i found at Filefront)??
or is it called "Halo CE Dev" Which can be found here at Halomaps.org

Thanks Agian for the Help :)

PS: I forgot the mention that when i am using the original ui.map file that came with the Halo CE Setup and i put in Custom maps it still Crashs. Hope this helps

this kid is hopeless im sorry video man, but your a total n00b. BTW, you CAN use the orange UI to access the single player maps. Here is a hint. you cant run single player form the multiplayer menu

MAN lordofblake you such a Negitive thinker?! Almost nothing can get completely hopeless, what is up with you man, you really like to spoil party's. and YES I KNEW YOU COULD NOT PLAY CAMPAIN MAP FROM THE MULTIPLAYER MENU, I NOT STUPID YOU KNOW! I am also NOT A NOOB, so dont' call me one, do you go around and call other people noobs (i hope not). anyways can someone please tell me how to do the things that i asked before lordofblake made his comment on the topic??

Ok, the map_name command opens multiplayer maps without gametypes, or starts a campaign level (or continues one from last checkpoint.

To use it, it follows this simple format

map_name (maps name here)

just the name is required, no .map or _ inplace of the dot.

For CMT's SPV1 first level, which is called a10.map, you just type this:

map_name a10

thats it.

Is that better to explain?

hey there thanks for the help, i had a questions for you:

what do you mean by "map_name a10"?? When i downloaded the campain maps, all the .map file names had just one part (when i extracted the using Winrar) for example: a10.map, a30.map, a50.map and so on.

I'm pretty sure you don't need alldev to run map_name commands...but ah well.

Just in console, type map_name (place here the name of the map you want to run)

so, say you wanted to run a10, which is Pillar Of Autumn.

type

map_name a10

Then, go out of console, and the cutscene should start.

mm?

thanks for all the help you have given me! i had just a few more things to ask (for now). here they are: what framework should you have for playing 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5?? because i did not have any framework so that could have been the prob. Also when you are using Alldev do you type in the map_name commands at the main menu or while you are in a game??

thanks again

No.1, no idea.

No.2, either I suppose. Do main menu cause that's what I always do.
I'm going to bed now. Good night.

Hey everyone i FIXED the prob, the issue was that i had 3Gigs of RAM and i guess that was to much for the game itself to run, Yah-hoo! thank for all your help in my hour of need. to anyone else who is having the same prob i had i suggest you check your RAM ammout and maybe reduce it. i had 3 gigs of RAM and then i reduced it to one gig and now it works fine!

thanks again for all your help!

I'm not a negative thinker, I only state the facts. I'm srry I called u a noob, it was kinda harsh.

Hey lordofblake i accept your sorry, and yes you were trying to state the facts. but if you just read my last post you would also think that nothing can get completely hopeless (at time yes it can) but i try to never give up on hope that some can give me a hand and help me fix the prob that i am currently having. sorry for the long speech, plus lordofblake i am sorry for the yelling at you throw text (ha ha ha) and being a bit hard on you in the post that i type (mostly) about you. anyways not sure if anyone read my last post (if you did not, please read it) i have found the solution and fixed the prob. and if anyone is having the same prob just let me know (i will try to help you out personally) Thanks every one for all the great help you have given me through out this topic, and i hope you all will continue supporting Halomaps.org (this is coming from a user, not a admin) and the Halomaps.org forums.

Thanks again

PS: grunt killer 29 i suggest you edit your post NOW, because:
#1: if the file you are asking for is not here at Halomaps.org don't ask for it, your not allowed to ask for it here at Halomaps.org (at least i think it is).
#2: you are also not allowed to ask for links ether for it is not allowed here at Halomaps.org (again i am not totally sure, but please be careful for what you ask for and say, because it could get you in a jam you might be hard to get out of).

thank you, accept ur apology too, lol

Threadjack much?

I have 4 gigs of RAM and it works fine for me.

what video card do you have gruntfromhalo??

What has that got to do with anything...

I thick he is trying to Say that he has not seen Dennis for a long time and dennis has not Banned anyone (as far as i know) for a long time. and i agree with him, i to have not seen dennis for a long. i have been to other forums (not just my own) and i have not seen a single post from dennis hime self for a while. hope this answers you question.

Aha? Still, not relevant to the topic.

Meh.

I've had that error before, run as windowed.

um, create shortcut of haloce.exe, rigth click, properties, in the target box, go to the end and type -window. Run halo from that shortcut.

Np XD
