[Diego Cueva]

What´s wrong with WC 1.6!? It refuses to load the textures from every map I try to use! uhmm

AH!!!!!!!!! I´M IN PANIC!!! <br>okok... I just calmed down... NO, I dindt test your map becouse nothing works!!! Argh! What is wrong with WC! It says that I dont have pak0.pak on my ID1 directory, but I have!!!! argh!!!

[Paul]

Just check your settings - is quake in an unusual folder? I've got mine on my d:\ which it wasnt happy about at first

[randall]

you have to reconfigure WC. It doesn't know where everything is.

[Diego Cueva]

It screwed up my old version too!!! And it wasnt instaled! I just have the .exe and some files of the old version!<br><br>"TEX_InitFromWad: (...) walls_01.wad (...) isn't a wadfile"<br><br>how a .wad file can´t be a wadfile!!! Argh

[Diego Cueva]

Oh, and it just told me that my Pak0.pak is NOT a pak file!! what t¨#¨#%$*&$#$!@$!!!!!!!!!!!!

[randall]

You should always save your files as a .MAP as well as an .RMF. That way you have a backup that will work in any editor. .RMF is worldcrafts proprietary format.<br><br>Anyway, as long as you don't screw with the file (ie, resave it or modify) you'll be okay. Send me the .RMF file and I'll convert it to .MAP for you. You should then be able to open with minimal problems.

[Paul]

Bah, its all my fault

[Diego Cueva]

but I dont have textures!!!

[Diego Cueva]

no, It´s WC fault!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!

[randall]

you don't have any textures because you haven't told Worldcraft where they are. Forget the PAK files, WorldCraft doesn't need them. You need WAD files.<br><br>Anyway, go to your OPTIONS menu and click the TEXTURES tab.

[Diego Cueva]

but it asks for the .pak file in the textures tab. the wads are inside the .pak files, arent they?
