i have been trying for hours now to recompile a map that i extracted to add a weapon to. i used the map zanzibarhalo3, and i was trying to put the Fist of Rukt (grav hammer) into it.

firstly, i would like to note that i wanted to open the map scenario in Sapien, put in a spawn point for the hammer, and then save and compile. but, i get this in the debug after trying to open the scenario in Sapien, which just freezes and crashes right away:


10.09.09 04:49:19 sapien pc 01.00.00.0609 ----------------------------------------------
10.09.09 04:49:19 reference function: _write_to_error_file

10.09.09 04:49:22 couldn't open bitmap tag 'killa_icons.bitmap'.
10.09.09 04:49:22 failed to load weapon_hud_interface tag 'weapons\fist-of-rukt\fist-of-rukt'
10.09.09 04:49:22 failed to load weapon tag 'weapons\fist-of-rukt\fist-of-rukt'
10.09.09 04:49:22 failed to load item_collection tag 'item collections\single weapons\fist_of_rukt'
10.09.09 04:49:23 failed to load scenario tag 'levels\test\zanzibar\zanzibarhalo3'
10.09.09 04:49:23 need to get the following tags:
10.09.09 04:49:23 hud\killa_icons.bitmap
10.09.09 04:49:23
10.09.09 04:49:23 game_load() failed.




so then i decided i would try the simplest way, by just loading the hammer item_collection into the Starting Equiptment, so i would just spawn with it. well i did that, went to CMD and did the following:

in CMD i typed
tool build-cache-file levels\test\zanzibar zanzibarhalo3

(yes, thats right, the folder name is zanzibar while the scenario is zanzibarhalo3; HEK+ named it zanzibar, not me, and i also tried naming it to match the file but i get the same results)

and this is what i get:

10.09.09 04:30:48 tool pc 01.00.00.0609 ----------------------------------------------
10.09.09 04:30:48 reference function: _write_to_error_file
10.09.09 04:30:48 reference address: 42ca20
10.09.09 04:30:48 Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'


what is happening? i dont know what "killa_icons.bitmaps" is, it didnt come with the hammer mod, wasnt extracted with the map, and isnt anywhere in the Halo Custom Edition directory or any subdirectories, or on my computer.. all i want to do is add one weapon to the map, and it has taken my siz hours to get this far.

if u can help, thanks in advance!

for the bolded stuff, you are missing that tag. use HEK+ and check every map in your map folder, and see which map has this file. Then, extract it recursively.

for the underlined stuff, it doesn't help us know anything, as this is the kind of message you typically get when tool runs (whether successfully or not). Copy the stuff that tool says directly from the command prompt window, not debug.txt.

tool build-cache-file levels\test\zanzibar\zanzibarhalo3

you only put a space between them when you run the structure command. and, i dunno if this is relevent but sometimes tool hates numbers at the end of things. try saving your scenario to another name in sapien once you find that killa_icons tag. simply adding it to item_collection won't work.
