HELP WITH XWE

[Super_sonic_345]

Every time i go to save a entry, somthing pops up and says

Cannot find file: c:\windows\temp\(xwe)C4A8015D.TMP

What can I do to save an entry?

Ok are the letters at the very end of every sprite lower case?

Huh, reinstall XWE, that shouldn't happen.

 

[Super_sonic_345]

[Sik]

Just reinstall XWE, something got wrong with its files. That's all I can say.

 

[Mikesword221]

Wait you don't even know how to put the images in?!Your not alone.

 

[Super_sonic_345]

yea. and when it lets me save the lumps (this is rare), when i open them they are all coded and "veiw raw data" is not selected.

[Mikesword221]

Color it cyan.(Aka light blue.)

 

[Super_sonic_345]

[Mikesword221]

It should.

That's a good reference/guide for any other questions you might have.
Try to look to the left of the posting area some time. =P

ok then (idk where this is on the wiki) how, when i load pictures, can i stop it from discoloring?

 

[xxBeanGirl420xx]

It has to fit the palette. THE LINK I GAVE YOU HAS ALL THE INFORMATION YOU NEED. Instead of ignoring it, and just skimming threw it, actually READ it. Seriously, if you read it, you most likely wont have any other problems.

[Mikesword221]

I really do understand what that means and you would if you read the ENTIRE PAGE.

 

[Super_sonic_345]

ok i read the page. now, its complicated so i dont see wat 2 do. i am extremely new to wad files and editing wad files as u r probably not, ok?

 

[Mikesword221]

There is things it doesn't tell you so tell me what you are trying to do and maybe I can help.(Since I'm also working on a wad.;)
