Although there generally is little point to changing the name of the WAD and it is then bigger in download size and more complicated to install.

If it doesn't exist then pcsky.raw is used when you convert the level. There is no reason to name your wad using one of the names of the distributed wad (angkor, coastal, tut1, etc). You can name is anything you want it doesn't matter. I think it is better to name it something unique so users don't have to backup and then restore the original wads just to build a level with a custom wad. mike IP: Logged

Wot Col and MikeJJ are trying to say, El Paso Dude, is that, if you have a look in your GRAPHICS\WADS folder, you will notice that every single WAD that are to be used, come with few files associated with them. For instance, say you are using Catacomb objects (WAD) you will find the following files associated with this particular WAD: catacomb.TOM catacomb.CD Catacomb.Lar catacomb.sam catacomb.sfx Catacomb.SWD Catacomb.WAD Catacomb.WAS (catacomb.TXT) Now read Col's and MikeJJ's posts regarding these files when using TRWest. ------------------ [This message has been edited by cool#9 (edited 04-28-2001).] IP: Logged
