when i try to compile my halo map it comes up with this Couldn't read map file
'./toolbeta.map'

does any1 know how to fix it?

I strongly doubt it is because of this. Nevertheless, it is recommended to do so to prevent errors.

i think the sphere error is "maximum depth something"
This one i think is a water or fog plane error, do you have either?
or the map is just too huge.

im not compiling to a .map im compiling from a .jms to a .scenario

I think by map he meant your bsp might be too big.

i made a new map and here is what it says.

EXCEPTION halt in .\intermediate_geometry.c,#444: triangle->material_index>=0 &&
triangle->material_index<old_material_count

what does this mean?

Redo the materials, the material ids are messed up. Either its not in order (1, 2 ,3 ,4, NOT 1, 5 ,2 ,3, etc) or that some faces do not have material ids at all

Or, like Maniac said, the map could be too large.

I made a new ce map and I tried compiling it but when I put in the command in tool it said:
found 1628 vertices that look like garbage. Does any1 know how 2 fix this or what it means?

Does any1 know what it means or how to fix it

I would say remove isolated vertices in max.

I'm using gmax so how do I do that?

scroll down to the part named (remove isolated verticies)

Do not start arguments about such stupid things, it is his thread and it was not locked, so he can use it as he wishes.

Thanks i tried it and i think it worked


yeah it worked, but when i opened it in Sapien it crashed then i fixed that problem and i opened my level but the whole thing is blue except the sky like theres nothing there

did you run lightmaps/radiosity (or whatever it is)?

i tried the lightmaps thingy and it said

import the .WRL and fix the errors???
