Im just starting to create a level using the settomb wad and yes I do have the revised wad. So I have about 10 rooms modeled and textured. I have put Lara in the starting position and then saved the project and output a wad using the same wad(settomb)
I just wanted to have a look at the level to check my lighting n stuff. I have 2 water rooms that are connected by a underwater tunnel. every thing looks fine,no problems at all, so I go and add a few objects,not many maybe 10 or so and save the project and output the wad again, but this time the game crashes while im playing. I go back to the editor and remove the objects I placed and it works fine again. Now im confused so I then put them back and try again but it crashes and the editor still closes and sends me back to my desktop....can somebody help me out please?

I've had this problem.

You need to work out which object is causeing you problem. delete the objects, then put them in one by one, till you find the problem. Then think of a different way to do it.

I have had problems with trap doors. They don't like being placed on the ceiling, only the ground. So I've had to bare that in mind.

Sometimes you just can't do what you want.
Good luck!

Well I have tried something else to solve the problem but I think I only moved the problem to another room. I noticed that when i tried to exit to the tittle screen the editor would crash and send me the desk top, so I changed the load screen setting and now I am able to load to the tittle screen. However this did have an impact on my curent problem.....because now in the game if I try to place a object like a dog in the room where I have the load camera set and go and play the game the editor crashes as soon as I hit the trigger for the dog. What kind of crap is this? yet I can place the dog in another room and trigger it with no problem.
Well its like I cant use the room I set for the load camera in my level because when I do it causes the editor to crash, so I can only guess that this was my problem in the first place,,,not putting the objects in the level,,,,is this right? Can somebody confirm this error? Are all the wads like this?

Well im still trying to figure this glitch out. Does anybody have an idea? Would an illegal slope in a room cause the editor to crash if Lara entered the room? the problem only occurs when I try to put something in the room??????????????

mmm sounds like a strange problem, maybe something for the faq.
But before that, did you try changing the load-screen settings after you finished the room (with objects triggers and all)?

Good luck,

Can't test this out right now but haven't heard anyone else having this unique problem so maybe it is just a glitch. Try making a small room (doesn't have to be attached to anything) without objects and set your load camera coordinates in that room. Now you won't have to worry about triggering any baddies in the same room as the load camera coordinates. Also, try setting them elsewhere in your model to see if the same thing happens. Truly strange....anyway, hope you get it working.

Well though it is unique now im afraid that there might be something wrong with this revised wad file because I have removed the room where the problem was occuring but the editor is still crashing as soon as I put objects into the level. Like I said earlier im not working with a 50 room level here,its only about10-15 rooms,and it plays fine with no onjects but when I put in objects in the level the editor crashes and it might have something to do with water rooms because it always happens when i exit the water
