I can't play any of my levels for some reason because everytime when I save my level over coastal ruins then I play the game, and right at the end of the loading, it exits right back to windows.

Can someone help me please?
Thanks

Try saving it over another level. I can't think of any reason why it would do that. Let me know if they work.

I'm not sure if it'll help, I usually does when I try to play someones level and get booted.

Also I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but it still has the same problem.

did you use TRwest, got a dependancy error and saved anyway?
if that's the case, rebuild your WAD

To rebuild a wad, simply open the original wad you started out with, save it as the wad you made
Now open the new wad for editing, load the reference file(s) and add the objects from the reference file(s), until you have everything in your wad again.

And again, be sure NOT to run into any dependancy errors and try to save it anyway!
This will corrupt your wad and you'll not be able to load next levels.

Hope this helps you guys!

All, man all my other wads are corrupted even new ones I downloaded are corrupted.
Man this is a really big problem and it will take a long time to fix. But I still don't get it though because if I deleted every file that belongs to the level editor, and get a fresh start by uninstalling and reinstalling it shouldn't have the problem anymore.It strange.

Few questions...
where exactly the game crashes?
Loading the game or loading the WADs?
Did you do a fresh installation over the existing TRLE folder or you renamed first the
old one?

I don't know if I can help you but I'll try

It crashes when I load one of my levels I saved over, like coastal ruins. But when I load eidos levels like the catacombs level it loads ok.

Stripx, I have noticed this behaviour of the game:
when it crashes due to an error, the program remains in memory (tasks list), but when it is due to a missing object or sound or even a discrepancy with the script file the game closes without remain in memory.
One good example is if you forgot to put Lara in the map.
In my opinion, if it crashes right at the end of the loading, it is because the engine can't display
something or something that it's supposed to be found is missing, or mispointed.

Check if SAM belonging to the WAD contains too many samples
Check the script file
Check the triggers/objects
Try to make a simple room with your WAD without any object but Lara.
Try to make TOMs with old projects because I discovered that under certain circumstances the editor
makes strange holes in the rooms, and the game crashes!
Check also you have not changed the SKY_GRAPHICS object with TRWest, and also if you exceeded the texture tiles.

Oh, if you want mail me all stuffs and I try to check with you.

Greets,

Man, I thought I fixed it but now its back. It now happens when I use new textures I ripped from Jack and it also crashes when I load the game, if I made a level with mixed textures in it. Is weird. What elso could it be Lupo.
