Every time I try to compile a map in tool it doesn't load the scenario file and doesn't load my vehicle files what should I do

first thing would be to go into your halo custom edition\programe files.
then look for the file called debug.txt

post the last section from when you last tried to compile your map.

what do u mean it dosent load load the scenario , do you not spawn or something

When tool is compiling my map it says it can't load the scenario file

recheck the names of all your folders etc

Here is the cmd error i was trying to add a lav-25 striker vehicle. I have all of my stuff set on my usb

Thank you so much I am a noob you can see and I haven't did it in two years.

You've had this error for two years???

No I haven't halo mapped in two years and I forgot every thing.

ohhhh....

sp or mp?

I kind of did both both but I sucked at it. I have no experience with like creating my own maps I just have fun moddifying and adding stuff to others.

I SUCK at mp. i need to learn how to remove a bitmap and replace it cos i stuffed it up big time with a terrible bitmap

I once attempted to make a halo map from the tutorial halo hub but I failed miserably. I couldn't get through half of it. This is only one of my small hobbies.
