Help with compiling .ass file

[Chizzle110]

I have a problem with compiling my map in currently working on. Everytime i press compile level. i get this thing

anybody find a solution?

[Vicky]

What would be your own 1st guess to check?

[Syuusuke]

I don't even know...

Oh haha, I would know what to check!
Come on, do you even read the debug.txt? Or just copy and paste it to us?

[johnnyblaz20]

Well what i see is the map obviously can't find the shaders. Thats your problem. you using the f_im before your shader names? It looks obvious to me.

[Chizzle110]

oh hehe i forgot to put the f_im in the shader names hehe. (Oops)

EDIT: nah i still get errors WTF.

[Vicky]

Same shader errors?

[Chizzle110]

yeah but i found the problem. i put the f_im with the material name but attached with _.

EDIT: i fixed it but still get these errors

[Roostervier]

Are you still not reading it? It says it is missing the tod.scenario tag.

[Chizzle110]

ok now i fixed that error but everytime i try to start the scenario in Sapien it gets this error. "The file is corrupted and cannot be opened." i mean seriously WTF

[johnnyblaz20]

The scenario file is not missing, it is created by the tool. The problem is there is no shader . ahh, before you attach a shader to your map make sure there is an identical .shader file in your tags/scenario/shaders/forrunner/industrial/metals or floors or light or whatever file your using. Some shaders are missing. Also maybe you didn't connect your b_levelroot correctly.

### ERROR: Unable to find shader "f_im plate_ext".
### ERROR: Unable to find shader "material #80".
### ERROR: Unable to find shader "f_im panels_generic_burnt".

these are your problems. #1 is supposed to be f_im plate, i think
#2 you didnt even attach a shader name to
#3 is i'm pretty sure not the exact shader name.

so once again go to the directory above and check your shader names.
