okay last night I had time to launch room edit and i remembered the functions of it but I have strange
question in my mind:
when I pressed (select room)I found that there are only 99 empty rooms but when I opened other PRJs
there are 200-150......rooms so how that??

also I want to know how much number of rooms that roomedit can contain??



I and Lara Croft live in my home(above)and we plan to play new adventure together HEHA

It starts out with 100 rooms (numbered 0-99). If you use all those, you can add rooms 100 at a time.
While the LE has no real limit on the rooms (I have gone over 500 rooms as a test), there is a limit of about 300 before the LE starts acting strange.
But in compiled files (a TR4), because of the format, it can't keep track properly of more than 255 rooms (unless there is some extra info in the TR4 that nobody has figured out yet). Actually, I think it will do it, but it may cause strange problems when trying to pass thru doors, etc.
So keep your rooms under 255 and you shouldn't have a problem.

To have more than 100 rooms, always leave an empty room in the original list. When you´re near to use the last rooms, start making copies of this empty room. 100 more rooms will appear on the list.

please tell me why the editor kept crashing
I did as you said:
I used rooms from 1 to 99 and I left the room 55 empty so I selected the room 55 and copied it but then when I tried TO PRESS SELECT BUTTON to see the new rooms the editor crashed
do you know the reason?

Make a copy of the room. Then save your project. Then restart the LE and load the project. You should have another 100 rooms.

to have 100 more rooms, simply flip one of them and save. There are NO limit in the amount of room? maybe not, but sure there are in the BOX amount, this means in the number of squares (box) you build, counting even the 2-3-4-5 parts of the same wall, or a raised floor divided in two part with e-d buttons or ceiling divided into two part by r-f buttons.

Definitely, there is a max amount of CUBES (even splitted into triangles) you can have in the same prj... you can go on building, but while outputting the wad, you'll get the "max amount of boxes reached" error message.
