My first 7 levels problem

#1 Well, you have to find the .mis file that is associated with you level. Do you know what folder you saved your levels in?

You should find the .mis file in the folder that you saved it in. The default folder is the folder that you made you level from. For instance, if you made your level starting from the level 'Learn to Roll', you will find you level in the 'Beginner' folder. BTW, in case you didn't know, .mis stands for mission (file), so you will look in the mission folder for the folder that holds your custom file. Good luck and send your levels to me 1st @ solohans1@excite.com.

#2 Yes I found it but when I click on it nothing happens.

#3 That's unusual! It should open in a text editor like Notebook for Windows OR TextEdit for Mac.

Note: It won't open your level in MarbleBlast when you click it. But try moving it to your custom level folder and opening it from the custom tab.

#4 Nup didnt work again.no offence but I found my own way!all I did is open the biginner file and a window with all my levels(well not all of them)
then I tried to open it but it said blah blah blah what the hell I got it into a text edit now what do I do!

#5 Sounds like you opened the file and now you can see the code (the blah, blah, blah part) that makes up a mission(.mis file). You can edit certain part of the file using TextEdit or you can leave it as it is. If you edit save it as a .mis file. Oh, you don't want to save in RTF (rich text format) If it is in RTF, use plain text instead. You can change to plain text from TextEdit's Format menu selecting 'make Plain Text' . When you save you file, name your file with the extension .mis(For example name your file myCoolMission.mis). TextEdit gives you the option to use the .mis extension or .txt(plain text), choose .mis without appending .txt. Save the file to Desktop, Doucument or whereever. You can put the file in a folder and then send it OR just send it as .mis file. I like to send files in folders.

BTW, I didn't take offense or offence. I always happy to see people find new ways to do things. And, I like to learn to! I'm glad that you are considerate of people's feelings tho. These days, it seems, a lot of people don't give a rat's A$$ about other people's feeling.

Good luck and send your file to me when you can.

#6 Ok tell me if it dosont work cos I jast sended it to you O.K.

#7 Luca, I had a little time to test your levels. They work and they are good levels. I only tested 2 so far, PitSky and the one named Platform Training. That was clever using upside down parts of other levels. It makes it look like a completely new level. I will test more tonight.

One thing you have to add is an outOfBounds Trigger, so that the game restarts when the player falls off the ledge. You can make that the same as the helpTrigger only use outOfBounds instead of help to replace defaultTrigger, then resize trigger to surround your ENTIRE level (so that the level is 'boxed' in by the trigger).

Again, very good levels Luca.

#8 Thanks il try that



bye

#9 Oh, when you get the levels the way you want them, I would start a new post to people here know they are ready. They are nice levels, so I'm sure lots of people will want to play them. Also, send them to Alex Swanson so you can get them in the Archive. You can also take a picture of your level by using the MBG editor. Then a snapshot will show up instead of a blank spot.

Alex's email is alexs@garagegames.com

#10 But how do I use it and get on to it?

#11 Well, you get on the Archive by sending your levels to Alex at the above email address. You use it by downloading custom levels by clicking on their links. You must send the .mis files to Alex and you may want to include a message so he know what you want to do with the levels(also, give him the names of the levels.)

#12 Well it Doesn't mater (to me) ill jast start giving them out in a new Forum.thanks for the help.

#13 Can you please send them to me?

matanv2@walla.co.il

thanks :)
