Well, help file is a lack. For some reason a help file was never made..... weird, no? :P About illegal operations - tell me what did you do and I'll tell why did it do that.

About help - feel free to ask when I'm around. :)

Duh, modeller. That is nto the level editor program, whole different thing!

Modeller crashes here in every 5th minute ^_^ you have to experiment what your PC likes and dislikes when using the modeller.

I wouldn't recommend the modeller for a beginner though. That is only needed for advanced stuff. First learn to use the level editor itself, only then the editor, that's my two cents...

Sky Common: that has no link to 3D Modeller. It is "only" needed for many maps, and can ease your job when making a map. So get it fast, yeah. [:D] lol

I was actually thinking to write some kind of a Help file, because many people got problems with using it. So, Assi, are you gonna help me?

we arent playing around with this stuff. Its not like a stupid little PS2 game level editor where u place a few different objects around. This is hard core [}:)]
