You can't just run tool. Copy your command prompt to your Halo CE directory, then while in it, type tool.exe and hit enter. You'll see the list of commands for tool.

would this be the cmd file? because i copied it into my Halo CE directory and tool still doesnt work...what i did before and got it to work (i dont think the proper way tho) is i typed my directory into the command promt and opened up tool.exe...it worked then...

***EDIT***
OOOO!! i see!! when i open up the command promt i type in 'tool.exe' and it will open it! thx guys! but now can i get help on working it...

***EDIT2***ok well i got it to work on the model but not the collision model? it says the following:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition>tool.exe collision-geometry scenery\ramp
Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'

If it says material, than it has to do with your material. I don't understand that error though. Looks like it could be a problem with tool and not your model cause of the "intermediate_geometry.c" reference.

i got one to work perfectly fine but it wasnt the collision geometry...it was the actual model...maybe im doing something wrong but i have checked and checked over and over and i though i have got it right.

how should cmd look like if you successfully converted jms model to gbx?
