Mac Custom Levels
by sky_lark · in Marble Blast · 06/17/2006 (5:44 am) · 12 replies
I've read Henry's expage about marble blast custom levels 1,000 times, and I still cannot figure how to even get the console! I've gone to several menus, and pressed ~ and other keys. Nothing happens! I'm on a laptop ibook G4 apple, mac, but I haven't downloaded any level editors, etc. Is that the problem? I need help fast, before the end of today please...

You don't have to get quark, you can use marble blast's interiors and build off it and then save as to not overwrite it.

Well i suggest you use begginer level one to build off of. When in the level editor thingy screen click F4 to open up the builder. Click interiors-marble-data-interiors and a list will pop up. Choose either begginer parts intermediate parts or advanced parts. You can alos use half tubes and tubes. Click on an item and it will appear on the screen. Move it to where you like it after toggling the camera (camera-toggle camera). Play around in the world editor creater screen to get gems and powerups, etc. When your done save as and move it to the custom levels folder. If you need more help, there are a million topics in the forums you can consult to.

I've a problem with the MissionEditor: On the Mac the "TerrainEditor" (F8?) crashes. Why?

I think I'm in the right thread to ask this:I've a problem with the MissionEditor: On the Mac the "TerrainEditor" (F8?) crashes. Why?

It uses interiors.
Avoid pressing anything except F2, F3, F4, and F11. Oh, and, OUTSIDE the editor, F8 and F7.

Because MBG doesn't use terrain.It uses interiors.
Avoid pressing anything except F2, F3, F4, and F11. Oh, and, OUTSIDE the editor, F8 and F7.

And how can I edit .dif-Files on the Mac? Is it impossible or is there an Editor somewhere?

You can't edit .dif files unless you have QuArK. I don't know what exactly that is so that's all I can say.

Do you mean, how do you add the level to your "custom" tab in the game? Instructions have only been posted 4 zillion times by now. Ask nicely and I may tell you - first, do you have a Mac or PC, Kieran? I assume you have a Mac since you posted on this thread...

then control-F11 to open the level editor.
