# How to use the Level Editor
|
||
|
|
The game has a VERY crude level editor which isn't really user-friendly
|
||
|
|
right now. It works with Minetest chat commands (refer to Minetest help to
|
||
|
|
learn how they work). Remember you can use "`/help <command>`" for a
|
||
|
|
syntax reference of a command.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To start, first enter the "`/editor`" command in chat,
|
||
|
|
then choose a size with "`/editor_size`".
|
||
|
|
There is no Creative Mode inventory, so you have to give yourself the
|
||
|
|
blocks with "`/giveme`" or by using a mod.
|
||
|
|
The Ultra Pickaxe removes blocks.
|
||
|
|
When you're happy with the level, use "`/editor_save`". The level
|
||
|
|
will be saved in your world directory (so be careful to not delete
|
||
|
|
your world!).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To work properly, a level needs to:
|
||
|
|
* To be solvable (duh!)
|
||
|
|
* At least one treasure chest (locked or unlocked)
|
||
|
|
* Exactly ONE teleporter in "off" state (`lzr_teleporter:teleporter_off`)
|
||
|
|
(The player starts here, it also acts as a simple game menu when punched)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do not mind the wooden boundary of the level, this is a dummy that will
|
||
|
|
be replaced with the material specified in the level list, it is NOT
|
||
|
|
part of the level file. Instead, the level border nodes are specified in the
|
||
|
|
level list (see below).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To test a custom level, use "`editor_load`" and then "`editor exit`".
|
||
|
|
Note this is still quite buggy. The game doesn't really support playing
|
||
|
|
custom levels well, sorry. :(
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Adding the level to the game
|
||
|
|
If you think you made a nice level, send it to Wuzzy per e-mail at
|
||
|
|
Wuzzy@disroot.org. This game desperately needs more levels, so submissions
|
||
|
|
are appreciated. :D
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you don't want to wait for Wuzzy and add the level manually on your own
|
||
|
|
computer, so that it appears in your level list, you must copy the level
|
||
|
|
`.mts` file to `mods/lzr_levels/schematics`,
|
||
|
|
give it a proper file name and then add a line to
|
||
|
|
`mods/lzr_levels/data/level_data.csv`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A line follows this format:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<file name>,<level name>,<border list>,<ambience>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
where:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `<file name>`: File name of the level `.mts` file
|
||
|
|
* `<level name>`: Name of the level as shown to the player, in English
|
||
|
|
* `<border list>`: List of border blocks, see below
|
||
|
|
* `<ambience>`: Ambient sounds. Either `ocean`, `temple` or `none`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Border list is a list of nodes used for the level border.
|
||
|
|
It contains 1-4 node names, separated by `|`. The border nodes are, in this order:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Wall|Window|Floor|Ceiling
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Wall is mandatory, the rest is optional. If window, floor or ceiling are missing,
|
||
|
|
they will the same as wall.
