We’re now going to correct some things in a batch file. Again using Windows Explorer, navigate to the “trle\Script” folder. You’ll notice a file named “Script.bat.” Right-click this file and select “Edit” from the pop-up menu. You need to change two lines by removing the “\” characters. When done, the text should read...

script script.txt
copy script.dat ..
copy english.dat ..
del script.dat
del english.dat
del strings.h

When you have it like this, save it back onto itself.

Also, if you’d like to do away with some annoying errors that will display on your screen, again edit the “Script.txt” file that’s in the “trle\Script” folder. You’ll find a section that looks something like this...

[Language]
File= 0,ENGLISH.TXT
File= 1,FRENCH.TXT
File= 2,GERMAN.TXT
File= 3,ITALIAN.TXT
File= 4,SPANISH.TXT
File= 5,US.TXT
File= 6,JAPAN.TXT
File= 7,DUTCH.TXT

Change the word FRENCH, GERMAN, ITALIAN, etc. so that each line has ENGLISH instead of the other languages. When you have it that way, save it back onto itself.

WHEN I FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND RUN SCRIPT.BAT IT TELLS ME THAT IT CANNOT COPY THE FILES ONTO ITSELF,AND WHEN I GO AND PUT EVERYTHING BACK TO THE WAY THEY WERE THEN IT TELLS ME THAT THE PATH IS NOT FOUND.
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? WHAT AM I LEAVING OUT?
I CAN LOAD THE WAD IN THE EDITOR AND OUTPUT THE TOM FILE AND THEN CREATE A TR4 FILE BUT ITS NOT IN THE GAME START MENU WHEN GO TO PLAY IT....WHATS UP?

You need to add your level and wad into the script and english files. Open up the script file and copy and paste a block of info from one of the other levels. Then take out the level name and type in your own, then at the bottom of the info block it has the name of the wad used. Simply take out the old wad and type in your own exactly as it appears in the editor.
Then save it and open up the english file. To enter a new level you need to write over one of the excisting ones, so type over one of the slots you're not currently using. Make sure the name is the same as what you have added into the script file. Then save this and do the relevent dos commands. If you're not sure what these are then let me know. This should solve your problems, if not let me know.
