I can go into tool or tool++, and it wont receive the commands that i type for it to input them, and use them. I was hoping someone here could lay a bit of information on me on how to fix it.
Anyways it gives me no error logs and no way to tell you exactly what is happening. I doubt i will get much help from anyone, but i can just give it a go.

All error logs are in the debug.txt file located in your root Halo CE directory (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition). the debug.txt logs all errors that are encountered by guerilla, sapien and tool.

Most - if not all - map makers and/or modders will tell you that tool++ fails. Big time. It's just best to use the regular tool so that all errors are told to you as it happens, rather than wait for the compiling to succeed/fail.

Also, is there a cmd.exe file in your Halo CE root directory? It makes using tool SO much easier if it is. Much better if you're typing out just the following:

tool build-cache-file levels/map/map

instead of:

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

then the above code.

If all else fails, then uninstall HEK, then do a fresh installation. This usually fixes the problem.

Trust me, i am no Buffoon with this and i can tell you. Its not tool++ in this situation. It is purely something wrong with tool compiling on its own. However i have been having problems with other command prompt based programs, and only one of those does the same thing. I could use VMware to run a windows 7 installation but it would be too much of a pain to go and transfer it between my computer and the virtual hard disc. If anyone has had this problem and has gotten it fixed, please reply here right away. Help will be appreciated.

You never answered the question, you have cmd in haloce root directory?

So reinstall HEK then. Something might've gone wrong with a file when you were installing it, and now it's corrupted. Usually, nothing goes wrong with HEK unless something screwed up, majorly.

Either that, or you're running Vista >XD

Well this seems to be in that category:

This is your pc itself these kind of errors are the most difficult for the community to help you because it's on your end.

I wish I could help but it's gonna be up to you since your actually at your pc to determine the problem.

Actually, I'm having the same troubles myself. It won't recognize the model command, no matter what I try.
