Noob in need of help - Where to start?

Did you use BFBuilder to create your world, like in the tutorial? And, is BFBuilder (the folder) in something like a root drive? (IE. C:\BFBuilder) If it isn't in a root drive, then you're going to have issues like these. You need to make sure it's in a root drive (C: or D:, etc.) and then create your world using that.

oh crap. i didnt put it in C:\ folder. does this mean that i have to start over? or can i load the .wld folder when i make a new world in the C:\ folder?

Move BFBuilder and everything under it to your C drive (Or D, it doesn't really matter. I have mine right now, in D.) and make sure everything transfers correctly. Once that is done, start up BFBuilder and select Project>Open Project and see if your world is in there. If it didn't show up, then you'll nee to start new. BUT, you can salvage some of the info from your world IF you have started it. Use BFBuilder to make a New World. Then, when the folder is made, transfer your old info into that folder. 95% of the time, it works.

Oh yes, it's a very special program... it's name is... oh crap, oh wait it's kladblok! Oh wait, you're English. English probably call it notepad.

Just try to double click on the .lua, odf, fx, req, whatever it is, and select it to be always opened by notepad.

ok, first you need to send the munged folder to a .zip folder (right click, scroll to "send to", scroll to "compressed zip file"). then you need a sever to host it. you can send it to SWBF files by emailing them (with the zipped folder as an attachment) at [email protected].

about the AI sitting around, maybe you could put in paths. paths are paths that the AI follow.
