Now it says it cant find the wads, but they are definatly there! I tried placing them in other folders but that didn't do anything either.... Anybody know the solution to this prob?

Ummm, i think the wad limit is 8 before you start having problems...so try taht first...

Yes, put all the textures used in your own wad file.

Error: Could not open wad file \hammer_testbuild04\prefabs\38t_heltzer.wad
Is not the DOS limited to 8 characters?

This one's ok : ** Command: C:\PROGRA~1\ZHLT\hlcsg.exe

Generate the batch file, edit it, and good snipe! :D

<-- n00by :)

How do I put al my used textures in 1 wad?
How do I make a batch file and what should I change in it?

Sorry for knowing nothing :confused:

Download wally from http://www.telefragged.com/wally and use the merge tool.

A batch file is a text file with a .bat ending. it executes command prompt (MSDOS) commands.

I suggest searching this forum for Batch Compiler. :)

Thx a bunch Xerent :)
