The map file is already made but when i go to fire it up in CE, i get the gathering exception pop up and Halo shuts down

is this saying that that the map i made is too big to load ?

i don't understand what you mean when you say i edited an original bitmap

This worked

but when i started the game i got the "waiting for space to clear" message

I had forgot to set my type 0 to "All Games".
So i opened Guerrilla and set it, recompiled, started game, and got the gathering exception again.
...went through the steps you gave me again, with the all games settings, and got the gathering exception.

so i set my Type 0 to none again, recompiled, and started game. It loaded the game, but i'm still getting the waiting for space to clear

I do notice that when the game does load, it looks like my starting point is in the sky outside of the map though


I just chose another starting point and it works now
