Author | Topic: Problems with TRWest
the_last_frustration Member Posts: 2744 From: Northern Alliance... I mean Northern Ireland Registered: Mar 2001 | posted 01-17-2002 10:27 AM I'm new to TRWest, so sorry if this is a common and/or easily fixable error, or if this problem has come up before, I don't know. Anyway... Everytime I try to save my WAD, a message pops up saying there has been "a fatal error" and that I will lose all "unsaved information"... in other words, the WAD I was about to save. This has happened the last (which also happen to be the first) 5 times or so I've tried to save on TRWest, and it's getting on my nerves. Help? [Btw, does the fact that I'm using that irritating piece of crap otherwise known as Windows XP have anything to do with it? ] IP: Logged

The program can only save WAS files and don't "know" to add ".WAS" to the end of the file name automatically. ------------------ ganon93@hotmail.com IP: Logged

I always used TRWest since version 2.0 was released and I never had any problems or had to put .was at the end of the wad name. ------------------ Keep visiting Tomb Raider Level Editing: IP: Logged

I always used TRWest since version 2.0 was released and I never had any problems or had to put .was at the end of the wad name. The problem only happens with certain versions of Windows. I had a discussion with the writer of the program shortly after v2.0 was released and it was discovered that mostly non-english versions have this problem. The weird thing was my Win98 SE USA version did the same thing (which is why we were discussing it). The last I heard from him was he was tracking the problem. Then we all lost track of him. That's been some time ago, so we'll all have to deal with it until he shows up again. ------------------ KingSpyder KingSpyder@thefreesite.com KingSpyder's World The Doctor Who Transcripts Project The Original Tomb Raider Conversion Project The Dark!
