I missed that somewhere in kirks videos. First he had it as a .tif. Then he had it as a bitmap in video 7 which he compiled into a tag. how did he get it to a bitmap or tag?

i never compiled a tif or anything. i think tool.exe makes it for you, im not sure.

Open a command line, navigate to your Halo CE folder. Type, "tool bitmaps <bitmaps directory>". <bitmaps directory> This is the directory of the bitmaps in the data folder, for example, "levels\splinter\bitmaps".

when i do that it just says can't read toolbeta whatever. nothing else
BTW, how do i navigate to different directories in the command prompt (i had to mirror my whole CE folder in the directory it was already on)

The can't read toolbeta.map is not a problem it will always say that. It says nothing? Absolutely nothing?

yeah, i know the toolbeta thing is just a glitch. it just says nothing. where would it save the bitmaps to if i did make them? maybe im looking in the wrong place.

It would save them to tags\levels\splinter\bitmaps I believe. If it could not find them it would say it couldn't but if it just sits there and nothing comes up that's' weird.

You need to set up your development environment correctly, its that simple.
