Hi,

So I'm starting my journey in modding WaW. I have installed all the mod tools, the UGX script placer and also the UGX patch. I have selected 'Converter' - first thing I did in Launcher as instructed.

I am following this tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep7FRahubBo

Up until the VERY last step of pressing 'Compile Level' in the Launcher I received NO errors at all.
When I pressed compile level, the launcher did it's thing and then all of a sudden I get the error (in Launcher console):

    ERROR: Access to the path 'C:\Users\Billy\AppData\Local\Activision\CodWaW\mods\usermaps\images.iwd' is denied.

And Steam Error:
   
    Application load error 5:0000065434

Please help me fix this. If I don't learn how to create zombies map I have essentially wasted my money on WAW :'/

Thank you for your time.
