.Wad files won't open

If I attempt to open them in a text format, they crash.

If I try the .wad tool or the refinery, it simply gives an error and it will not merge & open. Any solutions as on how to fix this?

Edit: While I'm at it, is there a more detailed post on how to add levels?

1) You cannot open WADs with a text editor. You must either extract them or use a hex editor.

2) People have had problems with administrator privileges causing problems with the extraction tools. If you're using Vista or Win7, shut that User Account Control off or move the files to a place on your computer where UAC doesn't patrol.

3) Lair of Rockwhales knows his stuff in regards to adding levels. Send him a private message and he should be able to help you. Unfortunately, I cannot at this time since I haven't gone through and added any levels or changed the links yet.

It says it's not a proper Rock raider wad file, Cire. Use accounts are off and such. Though I fixed it by moving the wad files to the desktop. Thanks.

Try the WADTool. It may do the same thing, so in the case that it does, move the WAD files to your desktop and do it. It's usually a permissions issue.
