OK, I know that this error has been resolve before, but this is kind of the first time I have gotten it.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c241/mlewis09/Warhearterrorpackfile.jpg

This is what it said in the little box in the corner:

"Writing header...
Error opening D:GamesRed Factionuser_mapstexturescinderblock01.tga
Error processing packfile headerCreating Packfile..."

I am using alot of custom textures in the map that I am working on, so I figured that it would be the cause, but I've looked all over for that one texture (cinderblock01.tga) and I really couldn't find it anywhere.

Any ideas/suggestions?

try making a 16x16 texture with just a plain red or blue color (doesn't matter) and call it cinderblock01.tga and put into user_maps/textures folder..

That should allow you to create the packfile.

I think the error is happening because you have used a texture which no longer exists in your textures folder.. So by making the texture re-exist, It should fix all your problems and possibly help locate the specific faces which you have textured using cinderblock01.tga

Ok, but would it also work if I just renamed a texture that is already in the folder "cinderblock01.tga"?

Yes, that'll work too... so long as that texture isn't also in use already.
