first, let me ask if i've got this right. RAM is your memory right? and if so then here's my real question.

well i've been trying to make a map for like 1-2 years but i've always had a tool.exe problem. it just never worked for me. now that i finaly get it to start working, it is taking up way too much of my RAM/memory.

i'm using HEK plus and after it's been going for a while, i've just let it sit for a while and let it do it's thing. then after a while, i get this little "exception" thing. it says that i've run out of memory.

i go to the paging file and on each of my 3 hard drives i put them at the full capacity that's allowed. since it says that it's used as RAM.

and it still didn't work.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!

How many GB's of RAM do you have?

i have 1GB of actual and i think like 6GB virtual.

I don't think virtual RAM cuts it. But even 1 GB of actual RAM should be able to run HEK+. This probably isn't a memory error then. Try getting a newer version of HEK+.

HEK + runs, it's the map compiling that messes it up.

and what about that error message that says that i don't have enough memory or whatever.

Compile a map. When it fails, go to your Halo Custom Edition directory, and find a file called "debug.txt". Open that up. Copy the last few paragraphs, and paste it here.

Here's what the last few enteries say:

and after i tryed to compile the file, jms to tag, HEK + crashed with that error message.

maybe you just have to many process running?

I have 1 gig ram, and it works fine with tool and hek+

how can i fix it?

and does anybody know how i can clear my RAM. i know that if you blue screen it dumps your ram, but is there a way to clear it yourself.

I don't see any errors. You sure it didn't make it?

Here's the complete dir for where the jms file is.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\data\levels\test\Halo_level1\models

if it made the tag then it would've been put in this dir right?

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\tags\levels\test\Halo_level1\models

well, it's not there. the rest of the dir wasn't even created.

I don't think think you enter that command correctly.
Try
tool models levels\test\halo_level1
or
tool models levels\test\halo_level1/models
Can't confirm, sis hijacked mah computer

It's not your ram. I'm running only 512 mb of ram and I can use HEK easily.

You can tell that tool could not find the model.
Always give that message when you type in a wrong directory

The only error / warning on there is that it could not find toolbeta.map.

no, there is the reference adress thing. The "cannot find toolbeta.map" is not the error...

I know it's not the error, the reference thing just means it put it in the debug.txt file. All errors in the debug.txt have that at the top.

i tryed it but "models" isn't a tool comand. all it does is give me a list of appropriate comands to use.

*edit: nvm, it wasn't "models" it was "model". and now, instead of using HEK+ i'm just using cmd tool. the model thing kindof worked, but now it had a problem with my texture thing. but i think i know the problem. i was trying to make this map for H2 and used it's texture format but didn't change it for Halo CE
