Compiling Errors...

[Terin]

I edited the geometry of a level of mine, exported a .ass file with BlueStreak, and tried to compile it. It comes up with this error:

couldn't parse definition #1
couldn't parse file c:\program files\microsoft games\halo 2 map editor\data\scenarios\multi\mylevel\structure\myle vel.ass

#ERROR structure import pipeline failed for scenarios\multi\mylevel\mylevel

How can I fix this?

Make sure you have a couple things on a checklist while troubleshooting;

• Did you link your geometry to an object named: b_levelroot ?

I cant really think of much else I'd add to that.

[Terin]

Nope. Was already linked, I tried unlinking and relinking and it didn't do anything.

c:\program files\microsoft games\halo 2 map editor\data\scenarios\multi\mylevel\structure\vel.ass

the folder has to be the same name as the ass.
Change it to
c:\program files\microsoft games\halo 2 map editor\data\scenarios\multi\vel\structure\vel.ass
and don't put spaces in the name! you can make the name longer then just vel.

[Terin]

There are no spaces in the name. The quote box did that.

Just make sure the folder is the same name as your ass file. IN RED

c:\program files\microsoft games\halo 2 map editor\data\scenarios\multi\vel\structure\vel.ass

There are no path errors. I even exported another .ass file in a new path, and it came up with the same error. It's a problem with the .ass file. Should I post my max file, in case there's a problem with that?

Just make sure the folder is the same name as your ass file. IN RED

c:\program files\microsoft games\halo 2 map editor\data\scenarios\multi\vel\structure\vel.ass

The parts you highlighted in red have absolutely no relation to each other, I regularly call my .ass files "bsp" while in "multi\mylvl\structure".

It may be worthwhile deleting your .scenario, .ass, and any other files related to your level and re exporting from scratch.

I doubt there is a problem with the exporter, but could you open up the ASS file and post the first ~20 lines please? Thanks.

if you have more then one ass file in the mylvl\structure it was causing the error for me.
Make sure that it is linked right. the box to the b_levelroot not the other way around.
