Query concerning tool compile error with cutscenes

[Reiper]

The scenario I am trying to compile is actually TheGhost's Blood Gulch scenario, if this has any significance. After adding a simple cutscene with just one point, I attempted to compile the scenario. I was subsequently faced with this message:

Failed to read data file header sounds
### FAILED TO OPEN DATA-CACHE FILE.

The rest of the compilation appeared to go without a problem and at the end, it said the cache file was successfully built. However, the final map file does not appear in the maps folder. I have run this a number of times, and even tried removing the cutscene data, all to no avail. Although I have become a little rusty on map construction due to a long hiatus, I have reviewed the basic process and don't believe I am making any mistakes in terms of procedure. Is there something I am missing here? I would appreciate any help on this matter, and Happy New Year to all.

Did you have halo running when you built this cache file?

[Reiper]

Haha. No i didn't. Thanks for checking. What else could be wrong?

-C+P all of Tool's output here.

-Try renaming the scenario.

-Open process manager, make sure nothing else is accessing the map or scenario.

It's also possible that a tag (from the looks of it, a sound?) is corrupted.


E : Ctrl+f'd that in tool (I keep a copy of it renamed to a .txt for times like this), it does indeed seem like a sound tag is corrupted. I'd try to find out what sound tags would have been recently modified and replace them.

Here's exactly what shows up in the cmd window.
I guess this means I'm going to have to go through each bit of sound on the map... If it helps any, this is almost exactly what I downloaded off of TheGhost's rip found on hce.halomaps.org.
(Just wanna say that I'm only using it cause my computer doesn't want to use HEK+ properly :P)

Thanks for the suggestions so far.
