i read the manual. can someone explain w3d error. i run a level and it produces and error that says try w3d command line. what does that mean? my level was running fine, now i have an error. i need help, i have a big presentation tommorow for my job and i need this level to run a simulation i build of the school i teach at.

your video divece is to weak

i also had this on a computer on my work
i did get this when started it up a few times
fix: reboot your computer
else you could try to do stuff like turn of shadows, shaders, less entities
cloaser fag en clipping
setting the d3d_funs to lower stuff

and also you could add -w3d in your commandline but this mostley dont fix the problem here

(ore it is that you made a mistake in your code but that is almost impossible to find)

good luck anyway

AFAIK W3d error happened when the video device did not support stencil buffer. Maybe a very old computer? Or still A6? Use -w3d command line option then.

i guess it was a too many entities thing. i deleted a lot of them and the error stopped, and i got my framerate back. it was very slow for a while. i am still running A6. my video card is an nvidia geforce 6200-le. i loaded the level with a lot of entities because i was trying to make my school as accurate a possile. my principal has a presentation and i am trrying to keep her off my arse,lol.
