nomatter what I do Red just wont create the packfile. it wont even let me play the level I was editing from the editor itself. I have dont alot of work on re-editing the Rats-Tactic level in which RedFrog gave me permission to do. I have read the other forums on the same issue but to no avail I have no clue. Ideas and suggestions?

Read the message after you built the map, and when you are trying to create the packfile.
The log is on the bottom left.

It says error in processing pack file header; custom textures are still in place and shouldn't be a problem.

Delete the old .vpp file and after that try and creating a new one....

I'm not sure if it helps but i do remember having a similar problem myself.

I tried to delete the 0 kb vpp file that it TRIED to create and still nuthing. I am using Red Optimized btw. The map has some custom textures that I wanted to leave in place so that the map itself still had a great resemblence to the original Rats-Tatic. I am at a loss for words here other than the textures are not in my custom texture folder . without the vpp I cant test it or anything. I have it looking pretty good though. Fixed some brushes and added some new stuff to it. Im just really at a loss here.

You can always use VPP Builder to make your own vpp.

yea I thought about trying that to see if that would work. I was thinking that maybe since the textures arent in my texture folder that maybe that is why is didnt render it in the game. I just wonder if it is also the reason for it not wanting to create the packfile as well. because when I opened the original vpp it came with the custome textures and I didnt transer them over to red.

That'd do it. You need to extract all.

well I told you to read the log.
It will tell you if there is a texture missing or not.
