dhama Member Posts: 767 From:Tibet Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 07-03-2001 01:30 PM There I was, buzy transfering all the relevent files over to the cd writer and then formating my hard drive to be more compatable with the new motherboard/processor bios etc. Then copying the files back to the hard drive after installing the level editor, managed to get everything working, did a little bit more on the level, saved it and then went to output the wad......nothing!! it didn't want to out the wad...oh fiddle sticks I said (not quite true, but this is a family forum)....starting to think, lost the lot, what am I gonna do.............then, a spark of inspiration. Had a look at the properties after remembering that when you back up files, they change to 'read only'. Sure enough there it was. So I changed all the files by removing the 'read only' check, and then tried to output the wad once more................Whooooppppeeeeeee! (I no doubt guess you realised that it worked. Just another day in the life of a level creator. The moral of this story is DON'T FAFF ABOUT WITH YOUR SYSTEM HALF WAY THROUGH A LEVEL!!! ------------------ All phenomena possess two natures That which is revealed by correct perception And that which is induced by deceptive perception. The object of correct perception is ultimate reality. The object of deceptive perception is conventional reality.

Then I discovered how unstable the editor is! CRASH! Lost the whole thing! Started again from the end and that became "The Trench" The read only thing has caught me out many times with audio. I`ve formatted 4 times in the past two years. Fun! Getting a new motherboard myself soon and I`m not looking forward to it much as I suspected I might have format. AGAIN!!!
