Radiant tool is not working!!

[Randy]

hi
first i had this error

I'm having a problem getting radiant to work. I can't even enter it. Every time I doubleclick the project file(the thing you need to do the first time you run cod4radiant), it crashes and reports an error:

FATAL ERROR: couldn't load material '$default'
GetLastError() = 0
An unrecoverable error has occured. blabla exit...

well his way didnt work
but when i used this it worked

A bit old topic, but I recently installed Mod Tools and I'm getting the same error. I've tried different things (including your fix) but nothing worked. Help please!

EDIT: Quick fixed. After 3 hours of googling and testing different solutions, I got it working.

Solution was to move out the shortcut to CoD4Radiant to the main CoD4 folder (where the MP + SP exe files are) and open it from there.

You can once again lock the topic, hehe.

after that everything was fine i worked on map for like 6 hours then when i saved it and quit it, after that i could not open it at all
all i get is this error

FATAL ERROR: Couldn't load material '$default'
GetLastError() = 3
An reco......blah bla
Please help
google was not good i could not find anything

*FIXED*
i just needed to change this in preference
when i stop using load last project on open everything was just fine

Glad you fixed it yourself.
