Ok, this problem is somewhat similar to a reported one, but I'm not sure if it's really the same thing. I'm aware of a bug that causes Soldat to go plooie when a custom map is loaded online -- however, my Soldat also goes plooie when one is loaded OFFline.
This happens with every map I've downloaded since I installed Soldat on this computer. I even have some custom maps that I've had since before then, and they work fine too. But whenever I add a custom map to a game list, Soldat screws up violently every time the game gets to it. First it gives me the same "Cannot create file [random scenery image I know I have and isn't read-only].bmp" error, about 50-100 times, and then the map loads. Oh, except it looks like this.

I'm stuck in an invisible land mass while huge black polygons assault my monitor, shifting around crazily whenever the camera is moved. Powerups can be seen sitting unmoving on empty space between them, like that health kit there. Also note that I've somehow managed to acquire 30 points without moving, and that I was not allowed to choose a weapon. It's pretty well please refrain from swearinged up.
This does not happen, however, if the custom map is the very first on the map list. So they can be played alone, or in a list, just as long as it doesn't loop.
The only clue I think I have that might be relevant is this.

The Scenery-gfx folder, as you can see, is marked read-only -- and refuses at all costs to be made otherwise. I can uncheck it all I want and it rechecks itself every time. All of the scenery-gfx files themselves, however, are NOT read-only, so I just don't know.
Anybody have any ideas?
