I am having several problems with WED, mostly unability to open files:-

1) I attached a level to my main script in "Map properties" window. The main script itself is 'attached' successfully ,but the scripts included in the main script (through "#include") are NOT attached. WED keeps saying "Can't open this.c or that.c". Also, when I try to run the level (after being compiled), it can't even open the main script itself although WED didn't complain about main script during attaching. Is that normal?


2) I opened the 'bed01' prefab in WED, added "standard.wad" to attach some textures to the bed. I modified some offsets & scales in a texture IN PROPERTIES WINDOW OF THE BED (and obviously it affected the texture own properties window). I saved it as a normal .wmp level. However, when I open it, it says "can't open standard.wad" and I just get some dull blocks with NO textures .


3) I want to SCALE a map entity AFTER BEING ADDED to a level. Is there a way to do so? I just want to scale that bed to fit the bedroom.

Actually, I had to copy the bed.wmp into "prefabs" folder ,so is there a way to use MY OWN prefabs without having to do the copying? I mean I CAN scale prefabs while CAN'T scale normal map entities ,so I will have to use them as prefabs.

The issues are not with WED ^_^

You mean: You attached a script to a level.

There are TWO KINDS OF INCLUDES:

#include <mtlFX.c> //Default files
#include "thisoniscustom.c" //custom files


Dont. Make a model insteand. your killing your resources for an ugly prefab.

3. No. Dont. Model instead.

I agree with you concerning the 'model' thing
But the problem is still there. What if I want to add some columns or doors or a ... bridge? I mean there are some uses for map ents. It doesn't really has to be a 'bed'. I am asking about this in general ....

I would generally suggest that WED Blocks be used for walls, floors, ceilings.. But as for a bridge - I would recommend a model. Using proper collision, you can achieve flawless gravity between blocks and Models. However if you choose to make a bridge with WED blocks, you can check out my tutorial bellow and it teaches you how to apply textures to WED blocks so you can learn the fundamentals of WED

Isn't it still under construction?

What about the including issue (no. 1)?

I mean I can't test my map. It gives error because of inability to open the script

Why does the file have extension $$M ?

I think I knew it. The level is in subfolder of work folder ,so it considers that subfolder as the main work folder. When I added my REAL work folder as a "path" in WED, it made a WDL copy and considered all subfolders contain only WDL (there is {WDL} in each path in WED)

PLEASE HELP!
