Hello, here is what I entered, and the output, any advice is humbly accepted.

tool.exe bitmaps levels/hogwild/bitmaps <enter>

Couldn't read map file '.toolbeta.map'
### hogwild_ground.tif
file_read<'tags\levels\hogwild\bitmaps\hogwild_ground.bitmap>
skipping bitmap with non-power-of-two dimensions (#900x900#1>

I did this after following the video tutorial. I know I have done something wrong but whatever it is, it's eluding me.

becuase you made the bitmap with a power of 2 so the dimensions wont work, in the vid he used 512x512.

toolbeta.map doesnt mean anything, ignore it
