For those people that absolutely can't wait for the next build to test their levels - there's hope!
If you open up TAGLEV, that's where all the data is stored. You can make your own maps by replacing the ones there.
But how, you ask?
Tiles:
0 - empty tile
1 - place player starting position
2 - place box
3 - place exit
4 - floor spikes
5 - left spikes
6 - right spikes
7 - ceiling spikes
8 - unpaintable tile
9 - normal tile
A - bounce tile
B - speed tile
C - arrow tile (underneath switches)
D - left flinging catapult (Place on the tile underneath the actual flingy thing)
E - right flinging catapult (Place on the tile underneath the actual flingy thing)
Door and switch info:
Right after the tilemap, you'll have a byte that dictates how many door/switch pairs are in the level. THIS BYTE IS MANDATORY, EVEN IF YOU MUST PUT 00.
E.g.,
[tilemapstuff
[00
To add doors and switches, you use the following format:
[switchx][switchy][doorx][doory][doorwidth,doorheight][opening direction]
Switch position and door positions are zero-indexed - that is, the top leftmost tile is 0,0. Count accordingly. Door width and door height are not zero-indexed.
Switch position refers to the block under where the switch appears. Door position refers to the top leftmost tile of the door.
Opening direction is as follows:
1: Door opens down
2: Door opens left
3: Door opens right
4: Door opens up
For example, if I wanted to add 1 switch/door pair with the following attributes:
Switchx: 7
Switchy: 11
Doorx: 14
Doory: 2
Doorwidth: 5
Doorheight: 1
Opening direction: Up
The map info would look like this:
[tilemap->GDB1
[01
[070B0E025104
Simple enough. If you need sample maps, check TAGLEV, where the levels are stored. Good luck and happy mapping ^^
BTW, there is going to be a level editor.
