If you want to save your pwad with a new name and as map01, and there is a level in ZETH.INI
already for map01, then ZETH will shut down and unceremoniously return you to Windows.

Solution 1:

Edit ZETH.INI. Either add a # in front of 'File = map01', so that it is not read, or replace map01
in 'File = map01' with the actual name of your pwad, if known beforehand.

Solution 2:

Save your pwad as mapxx, which is different from the one in ZETH.INI.

(Just BTW you do not need DirectX and drivers for DOS-Zeth, it is SVGA.)
Hm, I can't really tell why, but I experienced the same.
Randy: when doing the following commands:

Code: Select all

>r something.wad
>e 01
... (save, then quit)
>e 01
... trying to save, it bombs out

Zeth crashes

Should have started a new topic instead of asking a question inside a different post. Dloaded the newest Zeth and fired up a wad that I want to finally complete. My problem is this. When I make changes and want to save the wad..........it crashes. Im using Zeth 4.17 and just dloaded the newer windows version as well........both crash. They both start up fine, I can run the error checkers fine and all inputs appear to be functional. Just when I go to save the wad using either F2 or F3 it brings up the wad's name in the box and when i hit enter to save, there is a slight pause and the whole thing crashes to the desktop. Strange. There is no error messages so I dont know what is causing this. I learned this the hard way after working on the wad for about 40 minutes. Everything gone.(sigh). Also tried several different wads..........same problem. Any suggestions? Here is what im using:
Dell 800mhz
Win 98se
256 ram
Ge Force4 t4600
directx 9.0b
All drivers are up to date including video. Thanks in advance for any help.
