Can't play some files...

There may already be a question out about this, but nothing quite describes my situation. Often, when I start the level editor, it will run fine. When I save it and export it, it is still fine. I can fix the errors after re-openeing it. However, when I save it over the old .Id file and the .pdb file, often the new level will either be called {untitled} and cannot "load and initiate" or it just never shows up on the list at all. Is there something I have to do?

By the way, another thing I noticed. I have both versions of the LE, and if I load and save a file from different LE versions, my bug shows up more often.

Does anyone know how to help me?

By the way, I find that if I save the file differently each time (whatever v1.1, whatever v1.2, etc.) it works better. Still, though, I'd love anyone's ideas on this matter.

The {untitled} thing could possibly be from you not specifying a title. Under "Settings", go to "Level" and on the right side of the screen, the level properties will appear. Specify the level name where it tells you to.

You said that you had both versions of M? Always use the latest. Always.

And I think the solution to your main problem is that you need to get the latest version of Warfare for your PDA.

Hope this helps! Good luck.

Thanks, Verdagon, but take a look at my other forum (the one about multiplayer-human stuff). When that happens, the computer players all turn to human players and the level just appears on the multiplayer game list. And I do title my missions, usually the first thing I do. And I have WI v1.2, so I believe I do have the most recent one.

Thanks for the help, though! The bug hasn't really happened to me on the last level, but I did run through all the necessary cautions.

By the way, I am working on campagin. So far, I have... 1 mission. My plot is far from the ordinary, and the only characters that stay the same are Andy and Jana. I like the ecoms, but the only way I can get Andy to talk to someone (yes, he's the director now of the company UGMC (Ultimate Galaxite Mining Company)). Do you or anyone else know if you can put in a new character picture and name in the ecoms?

That does not invlove this forum




-To get the thing to open, it MUST BE IN THE SAME DIRECTORY AS THE M FILE. If it is in a different folder, It will not open. I do not know why this is but it is just so.

Hope this helps
