In Sapien the map works perfectly fine, I can open it and save it.

But when i try to build a cache file it says:

Couldnt't read map file './toolbeta.map'
couldn't create new cache file (#5)
### FAILED TO BUILD CACHE FILE.

I don't understand why it wouldn't work.
Has anyone an Idea?

. Is it SP or MP?
. Are you compiling a standard map or a custom build?
. Have you added any additional tags/scripts top your map?

And you also need to fix your weapon placement.

local player 0, weapon (0x0), deleted unexpectedly > Usually entails that you have placed a weapon/s in a part of your map were it cannot spawn correctly, or there is an error with the weapon file and/or it's dependencies which are preventing tool to compile it with your map.

-its MP


-a standard map (bloodgulch)


-yes I added alot of tags and scripts


-I never added any weapon on the map, and if I look at my objects I cant find any added weapon



EDIT-----------------------------

Okay, so apparently I cant compile ANY scenarios.
So I can even try it with unedited maps and I will get the same error. :/
I think my Tags a broken, because I had to use all my Tags from a old Backup and replaced them with my newer ones. So I quess it broke now everything and now nothing is happening.

It could be a problem with tool or the HEK.

Copy in the entire tool output.

I think it has something to do with your AI. Try spawning them in sapien with the ai_place ENCOUNTERNAME command and see if sapien still works just fine.

I would recommend getting a new copy of tool. If you can't compile any scenarios then there is likely a problem with tool, sapien or the entire HEK.

..Or maybe there's a common file that all of your scenarios share (hmmm... globals.globals to name the most common one) that has something wrong with it... like a link to a bad file?

Like I said before, a full tool output message would help tremendously.

A good friend of mine said that tool isn't the problem 99.9% of the time, it's what you give to tool is that causes your problems.
Edited by Nickster5000 on May 19, 2015 at 06:54 PM

That was the full tool output, I mean that was all I could read in the console.

in your CE directory is a file called debug.txt

copy paste the last output in there (aka, compile the scenario, then open the file, scroll down to the bottom chunk of information and copy paste it here)

Do you have a steam or xfire? PM it to me.
Edited by Nickster5000 on May 20, 2015 at 02:43 AM

Oh no, i tought he ment the tool.exe output.
But anyways, I know where to look for the debug.txt and I copied ofcourse everything.
It is really everything what it printed.



I can try it again and I get the same result:

And i'll try to help you... Is what I should have added haha.

Thanks for the help guys, but I think, that I will just set up everything new again.
But, its been a while since I used HEK+,
and I think I am useing the newest versio, and I can't figure out the queueing window, I just cant find it.
So I am actually using the "extract to" command, and it might not work properply, so where is the god damm queueing list?

Yeah the setup screws me up too. Just try hitting every pin you can see. Or go to window > and check/uncheck any window you wish to remove or re-add.

OMG!
Just what the HEK+!
I was doing somehing in HEK, then I realized you could also create there a map file, and guess what, it just worked. So that is great.

But I still can't realy extract Tags, I looked everywhere, all tabs and toolbars are checked in HEK+ and there is no queueing list, but I can still add some tags to the queue list.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8d7lHPTqFX8

I followed the instructions and I still got 0 Tags from it, and I have no idea why.


EDIT1 --------------------


Yep, yo the HEK+ from 2005 works for me perfectly, the other HEK+ from 2006 with the "extract to" command is just not going for me.

Thanks for the help guys.


EDIT2 ---------------------
OKAY, so i just figured out that you HAVE to give tool.exe admin rights.
So it worked perfectly in CMD if you give tool the admin rights, so basically this error means that it diden't had enough permission to compile it. Very strange!

And I can extract tags so everything is fine again :)
