Hello, I am working on a map called Peak. I got fairly far except for the part where I structure the map in tool. I get an error like the one below, and if it helps I am using chimp and G-max:

if anyone could tell me how to fix this error I would appreciate it :D . I have spent a while googling the problem and can't come up with a solution.

Did you remove

the --Start JMS--- part from the Jms file?

Why did you quote for no apparent reason? I think I got the point across.

GMax Usage Instructions
----------------------------------------

1] Load/Create your map

2] From the GMax main menu select 'MAXScript' then select 'Run Script' and open 'chimp.ms'

3] Select the 'Listener Window' Option

4] Press the 'Export Halo Map' button

5] When the process is complete you need to run the supplied 'GrabListener.exe' Program. Ensure that you only have one copy of GMax running when you do so.

6] Save the Listener data to your Halo\Data\Levels\Test\YourMapName\Models folder as YourMapName.jms

7] Open YourMapName.jms in your favorite text editor and remove everything before and including the line '***** Begin Jms *****'. Then goto to bottom of the file and delete everything after and including the line '***** End Jms *****'. Save YourMapName.jms

8] You should now be able to compile your map into a scenario using tool
Do exactly what the read-me says. Hence the term, "Read-me"

lol thank you for that, but also, I did that alright, but now i have a new error, [sarcasm]YEAA!![/sarcasm] Anyway I've created the shaders for my map (its called "peak_ground.shader_enviroment" and btw do I need to make a shader for the cliffs of my map?) and when I begin to structure it... it gives me this:

You need a shader for every different image you are using in the map (so yes, you do need to make a shader for your cliffs). That should solve that problem.

In your Halo CE home folder there is a text document called "debug.txt" Open it up and scroll to the bottom and copy/paste the last entry here.
