Set the directory on command prompt to your HCE directory.

Now, type this this:

tool build-cache-file levels\test*\"level directory"\(level_name)

Now that might sound confusing, but its not that hard at all.

You see, this command is looking within the tags folder, not the data folder.

* means that it could be in there, or you set it to somewhere else. the Test folder is where all the multiplayer default maps are, so i put my levels in there.

" means that where your levels location is.

() means what is the scenario's name is.

So, lets say i had a level called death_combat, and it was set on timberland, heres how it would look like:

tool build-cache-file levels\test\timberland\death_combat

Then my scenario will compile. If it fails (sometimes it does) then look at the debug.txt file found within the HCE Folder.

Edit: I just looked at that you wanted to compile your map without cmd prompt, it is not possible with halo's console, but cmd prompt is the only way to compile your scenarios. Sorry. :/
