Save / Test checkbox question
Posted: Sun Jun 10, 2012 4:48 am
Hi all. Been coming here for a while picking thru the goodies and and I'd like to thank all the folks who stole my time becauce of playing their mods. Been a lot of fun and I really appreciate your work. I have many fond memories playing the game and most of your levels with my grandson. The first time he saw a giant he almost jumped off my lap. I had to map the spacebar button to primary fire so he could get into the action. I fly and walk... he kicks the a**. Now that he's about 12 we'll still sit together and gib everything in sight. He flys, walks and fights but I do the circle strafe!
I played around with the editor a few years ago doing odds and ends from the tutorials but didn't really have the time to do anything more. Besides, the first time I opened a complex level it was looking at the roadmap of Washington, D.C. Not very intutive to say the least. Now I've got some time to spend looking at it a little deeper but it seems most of the info is gone. Is there anywhere to get any of the surreal forum editing advice? I've been looking thru the archives using wayback. While it shows the original forum topics, it doesn't have the actual data inside the post. I'm hoping the data (or at least a part of it) are still available.
I've been stumbling thru the level editor and I'd like to ask about the save file checkbox that comes up when testing or saving levels. Seems about half the time it has one of the Drakan levels checked as default along with my test level. I haven't been allowing this but it IS annoying having to uncheck the thing. I don't want to corrupt my original files. I have a backup of the files just in case and I've only had to use them once (dammit!). How many files should be saved along with mine? Do you allow the original levels to be writen to?
If anyone has any links to level editing info I'd be grateful to have them. I've got the tutorial.zip files off this site and been to Axes Site, but I need more input,input,input.....
