Just ignore that. Toolbeta.map was something for when they were devoloping Halo. If you're getting errors its not because of that.

ok..cool...but when I run the bitmaps part of the tool part Nothing comes up.... it just says:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition>tool bitmaps weapons\test\b
itmaps
Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'
and then the C: again.....it does not make a bitmap or whatever it is supposed to do

Save all of your images as .tif in your bitmaps subdirectory of your weapons main directory. at the command prompt type "tool bitmaps weapons\WeaponName\bitmaps"

That should do it.
