can you help me out and tell me what'd be the problems. I really dont wanna scrap this proj.

It's my first project and I did it for nearly 3 months not because it's huge or something but I always stuck w/ problems ..first the room's not enough so I have to find a way to expand it beyond 99 rooms and then the texture's too many so I need to re-textured some of the finished room to fix it ..then this..

the proj's 60% finish but when I tried to add 1 or 2 more rooms ..tombraider4'll crash while loading my level. I'm really stuck here.

I notice you've renamed your wad, you have copied and renamed all the wad files and changed the block in your script file to match I hope

I don't really understand what the prob. is because I read in your PC level converter that you have more than 99 rooms (139).
I only now one trick to get more than 99 rooms:
First of all always leave one room empty otherwise the program will crash when you use click 'select room'
When you've reached 99 rooms with one empty you have to flip a room (you don't need to make any changes)(press F in planview). When you now look in the 'select room' window you'll see you have a fresh list of rooms below the ones you allready had.

Hope this helps,

By the way, don't put to many objects in the level, you need to leave empty slots for the anims. Otherways divide your level over two wad's and use a level jump.

Decky2000...... I know this is not going to help you now but, my current project is up to 126 rooms..... what I did was copy one of the pre-installed prj files with 200 rooms in it then deleted all the rooms bar 1 and the started my own prj with all the room slots free..... (renamed it etc.)

Let say now I've 126 rooms and my level can be played w/o additional rooms. So if I add more room to 127 or 128 the tombraider4 'll crash while loading. Also, with 126 rooms the fly by sequences that was worked is now crash the game when triggered.

I've tried to go thru all the topic post here and think that may be, it's because I got too many animated texture or too many animation range. I got 5 texture for running water and 3 for still water.

Btw, I didnt put any objects or trigger too much coz I planed to put them all after finishing all the rooms first.

Guess I'd to try retexture my proj & cut down my texture use. If anyone's better solution, I'd be really glad.

I saw in the window of your PC level converter :
Object meshes:508, null:205

I don't think the number of rooms is the problem.(I worked with about 130 rooms in both levels)
But you can't go over 256 objects and then still you have to keep empty slots for the animations.
Did you start from scratch? Or did you delete rooms from an existing level? And if so..did you remove the objects first?

so this mean that I already went beyond the limit then.
I thougth how to check this 's in level editor window some where above the color plate.. anyway, I forgot to check that for a while. So this object include light & trigger area on the floor? If so I guess, I really put too many objects.
