self explainetry. plus a pic... which wont paste?

You need to post the bottom paragraph of your debug.txt in your Halo CE directory.

I posted the 2 variations i have done. but the second one says in cmd.exe "####error model file has wrong version number. ...?

First one: That might be a typo, try typing data\levels\hobbet_canyon\models\hobbet_canyon.

As for the second one... I have no clue. Try the first one first.

the second one is a fixed typo of the first... thats pretty much all i know about them?

What are you typing into tool?

You do not include the models or data folders when typing the path. If your model is located in:

data\levels\hobbet_canyon\models\hobbet_canyon.jms

You would type:

tool structure levels\hobbet_canyon hobbet_canyon

EDIT: Nevermind I just re-read the post. What does tool say when it fails? Not debug.txt, but the actual tool window.

F:\My Documents\[my-folder-name]\halo stuff +\halo editiong kit>tool structure levels\hobbet_canyon Hobbet_canyon
Couldn't read map file ' ./toolbeta.map'
building intermediate geometry...
### ERROR model file has wrong version number.

that is EXACTLY quoted from the cmd.exe window when i type what you said to type. and in the dubug.txt it says

01.15.12 17:20:09 tool pc 01.00.00.0609 ----------------------------------------------
01.15.12 17:20:09 reference function: _write_to_error_file

soo... now what...??

Sorry, I suppose I should have removed the old post. What does the tool window say when it fails?

this is everything in the window at the time it fails...


F:\My Documents\[my-folder-name]\halo stuff +\halo editiong kit>tool structure levels\hobbet_canyon Hobbet_canyon
Couldn't read map file ' ./toolbeta.map'
building intermediate geometry...
### ERROR model file has wrong version number.

The only thing i can think of that might be causing a problem, is that it looks like you have the HEK installed to a different directory than Halo. But I'm not even sure if that would be the reason for that error or not.

i can compile bitmaps, scenarios into .maps and stuff... but i cant do the structure command.



edit


unless its the .jms file itself?

Do you use chimp?



E: If you google the problem there are lots of people with the same problem as you that have been solved. Just do some research. :)
