okay, this will hopefully be the last discussion in the series of "Muscl3rs Problems with map editting".

Well this isn't really a problem. I jsut can't be stuffed figuring it out for myself

So, what do i put into CMD when i want to compile a map

What i mean is, what do I put after:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition>

if my maps name was CMTed_chillout_ai

with the underscores

you would type

tool build-cache-file levels\test\chillout\CMTed_chillout_ai

then press enter

beat me to it

ok thanks Hydrogen
oh and you cytronix for making me excited when i saw TWO people had replied

But does it always come up with couldn't read map file blah blah blah

I take it that that means it didn't work...

couldnt read map file comes up no matter what

if its the toolbeta.map that it cant read, then its not a problem. Dont need to even worry about that, it wont change anything in your map or tags etc...
Just leave tool a bit longer; eventually it will compile. It just takes some time

if you run into anymore problems, just post :)

If it just says that, not a load of other stuff, it means you typed the wrong map directory

no its alright now
i had to run as admin
but then my awesome chillout ai battle with cmt weapons was 1.07 megabytes too big
damn

and now another problem has been awakened

i compiled another scenario succesfully, battle for the autmn 2549, a boarding action ai scenario. But when i start a game in the map it just comes up with a black screen and "waiting for space"
there are five spawn points that i put there but i think its something to do with the biped. what do i need to do in guerilla to make it work properly?

did you put;
A: starting quipment if its Mp'
B: ONLY one spawn for SP.

okay
i fixed up that problem
A: yes (actually no but i want to start with the pistol)
B: yes there is one spawn point
C: right, today i was flat out scripting and adding scenery, triggers and ai. i set it to solo, one starting point. I compiled the map and loaded it as sp. It didn't work. I loaded it as mp. It worked. Do i need to change the players biped or something? Netgame equip?

Yes, You need to make the starting equipment and player profile. (i belive havent looked in ahwile)

How? In guerilla I know but how?

well,
In your senario goto starting equipment, and in item collection 1 put your first item collection (the weapons but for mulitiplayer)
and the same for the rest, then save.

Also:
Sorry for the bump i just saw this guys question and havent looked on halomaps for awhile.
