Can anyone help me out with scripts. I want to add a level to the list of levels on my script page. I made my own WAD file and want to know how to make the script for that?
Also, what are the steps to adding a new level to scripts so I can be able to run that new level?

Ok first you need to build your script information. Start by copying a block of information from one of the other levels in your script file. Paste it at the top of the script and change the title of the level to whatever you want and also change the name of the wad to the name of your new wad. Save this and then open up your English file. You need to add the name of your new level by taking out one of the levels you don't use and adding yours instead. Now, do the relevant dos commands (if you don't know what they are then just ask)
Then you need to output your wad. So where it says "output wad" you need to type in the name of your wad. Then when you go to convert your level you know it will be there. Once you have converted it you should be able to play it. Good luck and let me know how you get on.

Does my bum look big in this?

I can't get it to work..

Emma, I copied the script information of the tutorial level. Changed the level name. Also I changed the wad name. Then in the English file I replaced one of the levels that I don't use and replaced it with my level name. Then I ran script script.txt like it says to do in the manual and got the error messages like the ones above.
After that I went into the Room Editor and outputed the level. Then I ran the converter to convert my level. I tried to play the game after that and the level name diden't appear. Please if you can help me out. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Also, in my wads folder for my new level. I have .wad, .was, .cd, .tom, .txt, .sfx, .swd, and .sam files for my level. I'm missing the .raw and .lar files for my level. Are they important into creating my level? If they are can you tell me how to make or them.

these errors are normal and you can ignore them
if you don't see the level in the menu ingame, close the game, download the fixed English.bat from the tools page on my site and run it
then have a look again

If you are not seeing the level name then it is possible that you have typed it in wrong. It needs to appear exactly the same in the script as it does in the english file. Also, if you have added or taken away a line in the english file rather than just changing one then all the text in the load game screen will appear as mixed up letters.
