    • Merging with ResEdit


      I recently made a level based on Level 22: Labryinth. I want to make another level based on Level 22. Aschaaf mentioned merging levels with ResEdit, I know how to do this, but can I renumber levels while merging?

    • Yes. In ResEdit, hitting Command-I will bring up info, the ID is the same in MASCOT and Ferazel's Wand.

    • Yes, you silly idiot, just click Unique ID when you paste the level in. Then pick an unused number under 100. What a fool. 😉

      Why are you doing that?
      Why not just make a new level, and paste the level info from the Labyrinth?

    • Just to clarify, I was insulting myself, not those who were kind enought answer. Aschaaf: Cause that's the way I've always done it. But now that I have more experience Merging levels, I will have no trouble what so ever.

      Also, I never used BG Maps, Xichron Maps, or Light Maps. Do any of them work?

    • I don't see how a BG map would work. But yes, lightmaps work. Not so sure about Xichron maps though.

    • Lightmaps are for controlling the amount of light in your level. Xichron and BG maps don't work period.

    • Not to put myself out there, but I use Ent's method of level creation, I simply copy a level with similar setting and size and then fine tune it, maybe you OBW people have been spending too much time with your (collective) head in the info box 😉

    • Dr. Tall: Maybe you misundestood me. I open a duplicated file of Ferazel's Wand World File. Then I delete everything from the level I desire, tiles, spirtes, xichrons, everything. Then I paste in my new FG Map and get working. I just never used copy/paste level info. Now I am going to do more merging with ResEdit. It's a shame, though. Life would be so much easier with BG and Xichron maps. :frown:

    • Emeror Ent, I would have been able to help but I don't have theResEdit or MASCOT. :frown:

      ------------------

    • Oh, no! Duplicating the entire world file? That must be a hard merger, what with conversations, map data, everything. ::shudders::

      Easily fixed! MASCOT is freely downloadable by anyone with a vowel in their name. As for ResEdit, check the FAQs:
