فŘĻĉŦﺺĈļńŤċħ.Ňǒνąﻼ: like my documents
فŘĻĉŦﺺĈļńŤċħ.Ňǒνąﻼ: and then just leave it
فŘĻĉŦﺺĈļńŤċħ.Ňǒνąﻼ: and dont do anything else
§φ-ŖŁςŦ-ĄđмĿĢõłđ-φ§: ok


So that was it, his game is crashing... and I cant seem to figure out why. Is it because of the dashes? Cuz I told him to change the name in the addme, and that might work, but that didn't work. Hes just gonna chill for now, until I get an answer.

First thing to do is remove the map from the /addon folder and see if he can run SWBF. If not then it's not his map.

Ok it works without the map in there... He says he never messed with LUAs or anything.... Im not sure what it could be... he ust says he made a level, added objects, edited height, and now it wont work
