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 04:49:23 need to get the following tags:

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!
