My 3rd Tool Problem

scubaneo13 · Post by **scubaneo13** » Wed May 19, 2004 1:44 pm

When ever I use tool it say Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'
I reinstalled HEK and it still says that. Am I doing something wrong.

Now when I use tool or Hekter and try to build the bitmap tag i get this
> tool.exe bitmap C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\data\levels\rocky\bitmaps

usage: tool.exe verb <options..>
bitmap source-file

pluralize bitmap and tool should already be in the haloce root directory so all you SHOULD have to type, if you did a default install and haven't moved any files around, is:

tool bitmaps levels\rocky\bitmaps

Everything is in the HaloCE Directory and I still get the same error

Another Problem now that I get is when I am building the structure file, I got through most of the video tut and I get these errors

u most likely messed up in 3dsmax because it says errors in geometry

i would personally use hekter a lot easier than tool.exe

It doesn't work in hekter either

Hmm, it might mean that there are open edges? Use common sense people.

lol, u DID mess up in 3dsmax, u have to double check ur model and try to compile again afterwards

silencer88 · Post by **silencer88** » Wed May 19, 2004 7:13 pm

to check ur model select all the faces that you want to check them pick the STLcheck modifier tab

you figure it out from there, it isnt hard.

(if you get a shit loas of errors all around the outside, make sure that the top the the original sky box is there, i got this error and finally found out that it was missing)
