Map compilation error

[Arightwizard]

(I meant "BSP compilation error")

Hi, when I model a simple map in Gmax and export it to a .jms file, it works fine. But when I reach the point to compile it to a BSP with Tool, it errors.
These are the errors I got for spacefear.jms:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition>tool structure levels\spacefear spacefear
Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'
building intermediate geometry...
EAX: 0xFFFFFFFE
EBX: 0x02E60101

EIP: 0x7C90E514, C3 8D A4 24 ?????
EXCEPTION halt in \halopc\haloce\source\tag_files\tag_files.c,#1358: full_name

Can anyone tell me why?
Thanks,

(Yes, the .jms is located in data/levels/spacefear/models)

no other errors... was there a debug.wrl file to import into the level to try and find the errors?

[Arightwizard]

No, there was no debug.wrl file...Just the folder data/levels/spacefear and data/levels/spacefear/models then the file spacefear.jms in the models folder...Did I try to compile it wrong?

I'm not totally sure but it seems that your materials are messed up.

I'm not totally sure but it seems that your materials are messed up.

Is it a bad thing to use a multi-material, both materials are the same, the file name is space.bmp and it's completely black? (The walking surfaces will be scenery)

[Inferno]

Your supposed to use multimaterial. Select all the parts of your map and re apply the material to them and select all the faces in your map and make sure the material ID is 1.

Re-Export and recompile in tool.


edit-

Oh and make sure your on the create tab not the modfiy tab when you apply your material to your map model.

Also, unless you can portal really well (who can except p0lar?) your map cant be bigger than a certain size.

I made sure to do all of that, and it still returns the same errors.

It's a very small map, it doesn't take up that much space. (Whether you're talking about file size or how halomaps would determine Small, Large, and Medium, either way it's small)
