I was wor king on a room yesterday evening and attempted to add a couple of health packs. I did remember the "drop" and made sure that all the items had the necessary spacing. These items still will not appear when I view this map in quake. I have other ammo and weapon items in the map that do appear properly. I would appreciate it if one of you could take a look at this map and see if you can figure out what is happening. It's pretty small as the .qle, .map, and .wad file total 35k zipped. I'd appreciate any help I could get. ----------------------------------------------- Anthony J Martin email: ajmartin@pdnt.com olblu@blubox.com ajmartin@uiuc.edu http://www.pdnt.com/~ajmartin ---------------------------------------------- "Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he isn't; and a sense of humor to console him for what he is." -----------------------------------------------
