I can make maps just fine, but i can only put them in raw files. (saved in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\data\levels)
I wan't to know how to make it into a regular .map file. Do I need a program or am i just missing something? (Yes the map plays just fine)




HALP

what do you mean by raw files? what format?

They are under the levels folder as a .bitmap, . scenario, and a .scenario_structure_bsp

do you know how i can convert them to a single .map?

tool build-cache-file "location of scenario file"

that's the exact code i used, but it's not saved as a .map

i want it to go from the 3 files, to 1 .map

are you running vista/7? then you need to make sure tool and CMD are both set to run as admin

It should end upo in your maps directory so check there aswell!

Actually, it's the very first place i checked, and i've already said that it's saved under the tags folder under levels, and it works just fine, but i want it as a .map file so i can send it to my friends.

yes i am running vista, but the cmd and tool are both working just fine, and i don't see how it will make my map into a .map instead of being saved as many different files. like i said, it comes up in halo, and plays just fine, but it's not a .map

What exactly are you typing into tool to compile to a .map?

i'm typing "tool build-cache-file levels\bliss\bliss" bliss is the name of the map and it's saved under tags\levels\bliss

2 things, what does tool say in response to the command (maybe give your debug.txt.) and did you seache your pc for bliss.map ?

Tool won't accept that command, as you surrounded the entire input line with quotes. Thus, command prompt reads it as one command. Instead, type

tool build-cache-file "levels\bliss\bliss"

i didn't actually type quotes in command prompt, i'm just quoting what i typed.

go to your maps directory and see if the map is there... under bliss.map.

what does tool say when you type build-cache-file etc?

Weird, I swear I heart the exact same thing before... Who was it that mentiont this before?


Oh! It was me! o.0
Please don't even try reading my mind before I tought it ^.^ .

lol sorry i was just making sure, this guy isnt making any sense. POST WHAT YOUR DEBUG.TXT SAYS.

The Unknown KL, shut up, Niels is at least trying to help, which is more than you are doing.
Its not hard to understand what he is saying and he is Dutch i think.

Make sure tool.exe and a copy of cmd.exe are in your halo ce root directory
...Microsoft games\halo custom edition\tool.exe
...Microsoft games\halo custom edition\cmd.exe

Then run that cmd. Do the tool command.

tool cant create the map file in program files unless it is run as admin. but tool doesnt matter as long as you run CMD as admin.

Maybe he didn't make a scenario for the map.

he said he did
