Tool help with radiosity

[StampyMan]

Following geometric's gmax mapping tutorial word for word, I ran into an error while building the radiosity using tool...

Here is the input, code, and resulting errors in the window...

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition>tool lightmaps levels\beginner\beginner beginner 0 0.99
Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'
i'm going to render debug lightmaps for beginner of levels\beginner\beginner, and i'll stop when red+blue+green = 0.990000.
Hit control-c now if this isn't right.

Please help me out. This is my first map successfully structured without any errors, but now I have have this problem. I appreciate any help.

Thanks a lot!

Edit: And I've searched everywhere and anywhere for people who've had this error and a solution for it, but no luck...

Edit #2: Just let me know if you need more info...

Anyone feel free to correct me, but are you using 'tool'? To run radiosity, I don't know if its the proper way but open the .scenario in sapien and press the ~ key and type radiosity_quality 1, and you'll see a 1 at the bottom, then type radiosity_start, and it will run. 3 numbers with lots of decimal places start high and decrease. Wait until all 3 numbers are at 0.0000000 and type radiosity_save and BAM...the map appears in sapien.. Thats my personal experience...

u can do it in tool or sapein it dont matter.

[StampyMan]

yes, when I try to open my .scenario tag in sapien, it does the classic boot up and close deal... Nothing happens, so now neither tool or sapien has worked for me...

Here is the debug code:

I have modded for a long time, but this is my first attempt at making a map, so I'm pretty much a noob in this area.. So many tutorials...

Edit: I'll check the list of sapien errors you guys have for this error code...
