When I try to run lightmaps in tool it says EXCEPTION halt in \halopc\haloce\source\cseries\debug_memory.c,#214: size>=0 &&
size<MAXIMUM_POINTER_SIZE. I try to do it in sapien, but it crashes when I try and save the lightmap.

is it possible to have a to big of a map. This one is a bit big.

Just a thought, but if you think it is too big try to import the sky model you are using and see if your map is bigger than the sky model.
The sky models I think are very large in scale, but I do not know I have never compared one to a map I was just throwing it out there. Like I said just a thought.
Also, I am almost positive I have read that the Halo engine does have limitations to map size?

Once I did that a new error came up: radiosity error: smooth triangle group too big for page levels\islands\shaders\islands_middle

By making it smaller did you just scale it down? Also how many polys does the map have. If you just scaled it, you could try optimizing it, but you would have to redo the uvw mapping.
Both errors actually sound like tool is running out of computer memory?
Try right-clicking your computer icon and going to properties. Then go to the advanced tab and under the performance section click settings, then click the advanced tab. Check the virtual memory you have available and maybe bump it up?
This is also just a suggestion you might have already tried this.

So you compiled the JMS okay? Try making the lightmaps in sapien, that way you'll at least know if the scenario loads

how do i optimize my map? I have already tried running light maps in sapien, it runs then i go to save it and sapien crashes.

Dude, optimizing has nothing to do with sapien.

What I meant was that i already tried to run light maps in sapien.

Dude, thats no the problem. You can do that.

You can optimize it manually or use the modifier, either way it usually just gets rid of useless polys depending on the settings you place on the modifier.
Did you ge the problem fixed and how many polys is the map anyway?
