Do a search on the forum and you will find your answer. It has been posted many times here. It just a simple script fix.

no.... just do this :
go in dos
go to your garagegames folder
type in artib -r *.* /s

after that you should be able to save as the read only flags are cleared.

Yes he is.

Your missions/terrain/whatever file are writeprotected so any chnage you make will go back to the orginal when you start the mission again.

i still dont get it, i went in to aaall my files in torque and and unchecked all the read only boxes, and still cant save.

and i have no clue about artib -r *.* /s

it says this:

C:\WINDOWS>artib -r *.* /s
Bad command or file name

or this:
C:\>artib -r *.* /s
Bad command or file name

Well, it's spelled attrib.

And you do not want to execute that command in c:\ or c:\windows. In fact, I'd suggest you stay away from the attrib command until you know a bit more about the command line.

Try going back over your mission files and doublechecking those read-only flags in file properties.

ok im glad it didnt work then, heres what i found out:

(yes all readonly boxes are unchecked) i can move the rifle and ammo and save it by going into f11 , and exit the game and it is when i moved it to :) so thats cool!

but when i push f10 to make the health bar thinner it wont save (there is no save button for f10) so i tried to do a save in f11 after i rsize the health bar (but that dont work) is there some way to save while in f10 mode? or do i have to edit a cs file

thanks for the info.

so now everthing saves :) cool!

{edit}
