couldnt read toolbeta.map is not an error.
It always happens, ignore that part.
Dont use tool++, just stick with normal tool with cmd

I would ignore it, if it would compile, or I just cant find the file anywere.
jms was in root\data\objects
could anyone tell me were it goes when compiled, it doesnt seem to be in tags\objects foled

im no expert on this but i think that it should be in root\data\objects\models\whatever.jms and then only go to objects it will automatically assume there is a models folder.
hope this helps :)

Tool command line:

tool structure objects\yourobjectname yourobjectname

Tool then looks for the 'objects' folder located in root\data. Once found, it looks for 'yourobjectname'. Once found, it assumes there exists a 'models' folder within 'yourobjectname', and then looks for 'yourobjectname.jms'. If you used Chimp to make your .jms, then make sure you open it in notepad or whatever text editor you use, and remove everything that doesn't belong. Chimp is kind enough to point out what needs deleted:

Everything before and up to the '**************Begin JMS****************' is to be deleted, and everything after the '***************End JMS****************' is to be deleted. Save the JMS, and plop it into your models folder. Run tool, and cross your fingers while praying you don't get a random error with no definition like I did.

Eh? Me? Thanks.

I forgot to mention this: once your model builds (if it does. It's crapshot with tool) then it creates a folder structure in root\tags identical to the one in your data folder, so in this case you should see root\tags\yourobjectname. If not, then tool didn't build your model. Go figure. Join the club.
