Ok guys I am trying to make a basic map. Right now it's my test map and all it is is a hill in the center and two shells of a bases for a bases. I've exported it in gmax using chimp. I have navigated to tool.exe. Now guys I need help. And as this goes on there will be ALOT of topics on questions I will be asking. I have tried to find some tutorials and I have. I will use those. But if something happens I will ask in the appropriate section.

Now for the question:

How do I compile my level? I am at the "level compilation" stage (that's what it says ijn HEK). I tried to compile it but it said "file not found" I typed: "tool.exe\levels\test\test map\test map" without the quotes. I have made the appropriate directories. (data/levels/test/test map). I do not know why it does not compile. Please help. I will try to put the file up for download if I can, so you can see it. HELP!! How do I put things up for DL?

EDIT: I have not put skins or textures on my map. I do not know how, now do I have a program to do so. I plan to have someone skin it for me.

Okay. First, you want to type this: tool structure levels\test map test map. Then it will ask you for shaders if you didn't make them already. Just press the number that says "shader_environment" for each time it asks you. After that, it should spit out a scenario file in your tags directory. Use the Halo WIKI for more tuts and info. Theres a button link to it on the halomods main page.

OK this is what I got O.o:



CAn you tell me how to put stuff up for down load to?

EDIT: I also found this happened when I typed tool.exe skybox levels\test map test map :




Where are the WIKI tutorials? Are they those one Kirk made? Speaking of Kirk, he sounds like my gym teacher at school!
