005473.html

is the url if you want to have a look at my question. when u have read that read to this:

i did what hteS said but it didn't work. this is what i did. i went in to the english.txt and scrolled down to find the line: Car-Jack. I renamed it to Mini Disc and saved.

i went in to the script.txt and scrolled down to the CITY block and renamed the Car-Jack puzzle piece to Mini Disc. (by the way when i was crwating my custom wad i copied the CITY block and pasted it in the script.txt nad did some minor changes like level name and audio music. Thats all)

When i changed the Car-Jack puzzle piece to Mini Disc i scrolled down to the pasted block of the city block (my custom wad block) and changed the the Car-Jack to Mini Disc and saved.

i thnen used easylife to do the M-DOS thing automatically. but when i tried to run tomb4.exe it crashed????????????

now listen carefully. Mention anything i missed out on. everything. but i think thats how your supposed to do it. but it just ain't working

Easylife does a CD to the right directory. But it probably needs to be on the same drive at least.

If you have changed the strings to Mini Disc do this:
Run "English Script.bat" and copy "Script.dat" and "English.dat" into the TRLE folder. Then run the game.

if you see weird letters and words in the game, you defenitly did something wrong (added or deleted) in English.txt
I suggest you start over with a fresh English.txt (download the backup tool from my site if you like) and ONLY change the Car Jack for now (also try to name it Mini-Disc instead of Mini Disk, maybe that space makes a difference...shouldn't though...) and try to run the game
