Level editor tools

[chomwitt]

Hi.
I am trying to learn the level editor.
Could please someone explain the basic tools?

[DevonST]

I made a guide which explains everything from the ground up: https://forum.freegamedev.net/viewtopic ... 69&t=10370

To make the igloo, go to Tilegroups > Exits. Tux’ Igloo is split up into two parts to make it look more 3D. Select the first part and paste it in tile map −100. Then select the second part and paste it in tile map +100.

Excellent effort. Thanks

I have the git trunk version compiled. There is no igloo in the Tilegroups > Exits.

The Level Editor has undergone quite a few changes since 0.6.0, so you might need to update your guide for the upcoming 0.6.1. Also, as one of the changes in the new update, the tilegroups have been rearranged and exits have migrated to decals.

That's because it is no longer tile-based. You'll need to use the decal tool for that (like in the Halloween Add-On).

I pulled the newest code and compiled version v0.6.0-1010 but still
cant find any igloo.

I pressed the 'decal' object , and a big sing appeared. I search the term a little.
Decal is a kind of a background ? But no progress.

Still the level editor is getting prettier step by step. better undo buttons , rubber appers whole .

It's under "data/images/decal/snow", named "exitfg.png" and "exitbg.png".

Thanks Serano.

I've found it.

What decal means?

The latest update improves the level editor's UI a ton, you should check it out

a is self explanatory; an eraser!
b is for if you want to place normally, (RED) drag a rectangle like on the desktop to place stuff down, (GREEN) or a fill all tool like in ms paint. (bucket)
C, to my knowledge, only really matters if you're placing objects down... It's just normal if it's a cursor, or it copies a selected object (With the same boxes checked, name used, and sprite chosen) if it's that 2 folder thing.
d is settings, like save or test level, choose other level (or level pack) change name, and more!
