Question no. 1: How do you change a level size. I have been through EVERYTHING!!! and i can't make it any taller. Or longer.
Question no. 2: Why won't it launch on my linux computer. I am currently borrowing a windows pc because my laptop is in the shop. It is a mac, but that doesn't matter because i know the editor won't run on it anyway.
Here is the code is spews if i try to launch it from terminal.

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

Missing method System.Type::op_Inequality(Type,Type) in assembly /usr/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll, referenced in assembly /usr/lib/mono/gac/glade-sharp/2.12.0.0__35e10195dab3c99f/glade-sharp.dll

Another thing. Why do bonus boxes show through the tilemap on top of them in when i play, but not in the editor.

It would be usefull to know which version of the editor you are using. I assume you are using the latest one (for SuperTux 0.3.x).

In the version I have you can resize the level by right-clicking on the sector's tab (for example "main") and the clicking on "Resize".

The editor is a bit picky on the mono runtime version. You have to start it in a terminal with

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

mono --runtime=v4.0 supertux-editor.exe

The bonus boxes do not really belong to the tilemap they are placed in. I have to see the level to explain you what exactly is wrong.

for the third question:
the bonus block and coin tiles show up in the game on a higher layer than on whatever they are placed. so if you want a coin or block that's on the "Interactive" tilemap you will have to place tiles on the foreground layer to cover them up(if that doesn't work the the foreground layer up to around 200 or something like that. play around and see.)

I am trying to make a secret area, and in the editor everything looks good, but in the game, the bonus blocks show right through the tilemap "secret area 1" as i called it. Can this be fixed?

Using editor 0.3.0 windows package from the wiki downloads page on windows 7 with mono 1.2.5.1 or whatever is the one that works with it. (Thanks, helpful person on the bugtracker!)

Thanks, that solved it.

okay, i will try that when i get back to my linux desktop. (Why does freegamedev seem to think both freegamedev and linux are spelled incorrectly? Weird.)

okay... Don't really get that but i may be able to send you the level.

Yet another question. How do you add music in the new editor. (Can anyone else tell i haven't used this thing that much...)

Yes, this is possible (of course - otherwise there would be no sense in making secret areas ). Just follow ctdabomb's advice and set the layer of the tilemap that covers the secret to a high value like 200. This should work.

KRC1023 {l Wrote}:(Why does freegamedev seem to think both freegamedev and linux are spelled incorrectly? Weird.)

AFAIK the forum does not have any spell checking. Perhaps it is an addon of your browser that does not know these words?

KRC1023 {l Wrote}:Yet another question. How do you add music in the new editor. (Can anyone else tell i haven't used this thing that much...)

To add music, open the same menu you have used to resize the level and select "Properties" (I hope it is called like that since my version of the editor partially uses translations) instead of "Resize". This will open a panel in the bottom part of the window. There you can edit the name, the music and other properties. To set or change the music, click on the "..." button and select a music file (the ones that end with ".music"). The SuperTux music folder is located in <supertuxdir>/data/music.

Did you change to the directory where the editor is located, and did you compile it? I am also on Ubuntu 12.04 and it works for me.

(i moved this to the general section since levels and addons forum is really supposed to be for contributed levels)

Installed using the autopackage.
Did not change the directory.
Cannot figure out.
Ran This command.

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

mono --runtime=v4.0 ` which supertux-editor`

Got same big long error from my first post.

And on windows i get no sound when i test the level.

I guess something is wrong with your installation of the editor. I have attached a compiled version of the editor which I am using. Extract it, open a terminal and then change to the directory which contains "supertux-editor.exe". On my computer this would be "~/Desktop/SuperTux-Editor/".(We won't install the editor on your system, but start it directly from the extracted folder. Because of this, trying to start the editor from any working directory in the terminal will not work).
To check if you have changed to the correct directory, run

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

ls -a | grep supertux-editor.exe

This should result in:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

supertux-editor.exe
supertux-editor.exe.mdb


If it does not, you are in the wrong directory.

Now type in

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

mono --runtime=v4.0 supertux-editor.exe

and press return. This will start the editor.
