<br /><br />ERROR: wglMakeCurrent failed..
<br />Please restart DOOMEdit if the camera view is not working
<br /><br />Shows up in the inspector window :s

<br /><br />Run doom with the following parameters, that should do the trick:
<br /><span style="font-style: italic">doom.exe +com_allowConsole 1 +r_fullscreen 0 +editor</span>
<br /><br />If it doesn't, try adding some +wait calls to the command line like this:
<br /><span style="font-style: italic">doom.exe +com_allowConsole 1 +r_fullscreen 0 +wait +wait +wait +editor</span></div><br><hr><br/>BNA!@Posted: Thu Aug 05, 2004 3:31 pm : <div class="postbody"><div class="quotetitle">Acid303 wrote:</div><div class="quotecontent">Anyone know how to solve this???

<br /><br />Thanks for the replies, I'll try to get the editor to work with those commands <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20070509181516im_/http://www.doom3world.org/phpbb2/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><br /><br />I think i'll stick around here, and read some tutorials, cause i'm new to mapping. Only did some build engine maps for duke 3d (but that's MANY years ago :s).

<br /><br />Please try starting the editor again after switching it off. You can do that in game under <span style="font-style: italic">Options -&gt; System -&gt; Advanced Options</span>.
