8. Run (this is were the problem startes)

[OK]

hit ok then window closes

Can anyone help me? would apperesiate it.

Error E1301: Can't open file
The given file was not found in the path or resource.

Tried your steps and everything seems to work fine. Did you save your level as one.wmp? And when you run the level does the popup dialog display: one.wmb -nx 30 or something like that? Also did you build BSP MAP or was there some other option selected?

I did not save my file as one.wmp I saved it as REtry.wmp and the popup dialog displays this:

retry.wmb -nx 30 lvl.wmb lvl.wmb lvl.wmb lvl.wmb lvl.wmb lvl.wmb one.wmb one.wmb

and yes i built BSP MAP.

ok got it to work by backspacing all the way till it just said retry.wmb

ty for the input D3D

OblivionDrake, aside from the fact that you got it working now. You also found the cause of and the solution to your problem

i know its rare that i am able to acomplish one of those things on my own lol

thanks for the pat on my back (mediforicly speaking)
