How do you save a level. When I out but ot with the name sus.TOM and try to build it I get an error. I can only do it using tut1.TOM.

Britney Spears is great too. She may not be Lara but Lara is not real. So she is okay cause at least you could feel.

Don't use new names for WADS it's not worth it, overwrite the tom that you got the objects from in the first place. To convert yourname.tom you need to have all the other WAD files named as yourname.swd, yourname.lar and so on. It's not worth the hassle as if you want to send the level to someone else you have to send all the WAD files.

you can change the name of your level with out changing the name of your wad. you need to open your script.txt found in your scripts folder in the root directory.
when you see level name=what ever wad your using, replace this with your own. any changes you make here must also be made in your English.txt exactly the same way. from here you need to convert these files into .dat files. an easy way to do this is to get your self a program called easylife.bat (click the above banner and go to the tools page. easylife will make the conversion for you and move the new .dat files into the appropriate folders.
let us know if you need more help
