computer science.Re: Level Editor I - creating your first level
Okay, nice tutorial.
Maybe it would be a good idea to have a boolean var in order to enable or not stage editing.
f.e:
bool enable_level_edit;
If the stage is "official" then enable_level_edit = false;
Or something like that

This feature is already available. 
You can't edit the Master Quest levels.
All you have to do is to add a line with the word "readonly" (no quotes) in the .lev file. If you press the F12 key when playing on a "readonly" level, the game won't let you access the level editor. Try that on the Master Quest (main menu -> custom quests).
Of course someone could edit a .lev file manually and remove the "readonly" flag. But then the user would be trying to deliberately modify the level, so I won't forbid that.

Ahh it's true I did not see it at first.
There are some stuff about the physics that need a little fixing, I could give assistance if you want.

Re: Level Editor I - creating your first level
Thank you. Some people already complained about the friction because the characters take too long to brake (on version 0.1.0). This will be fixed for the next version. The modification is simple: all one must do is to change a number in the source code.
Re: Level Editor I - creating your first level
I bet it is friction var in player.c
Reducing it a little would do it.
But how much exactly?

Re: Level Editor I - creating your first level
You're right, it's in player.c
I'm also changing some other stuff like the gravity and the teleporters, see here

Hello, Petrov.
This game is not related to flash.
Re: Level Editor I - creating your first level

quick and easy way:
go to your open surge folder.
open the "levels" folder
with the right mouse button drag any level to an empty space in that folder
when you release the button a menu shows. choose "copy files here"
now you should have a level file named "copy of ...". rename it to something you want
open it
and delete everything after the end of the header
in the header you can edit the name, act number, brickset and background to whatever you want
save it and open it in O.S.
if your level fails to load or doesn't appear, you have done something wrong. start over
if you still can't open it in game, tell us what happened

The process for creating a second level is exactly the same as creating the first one, however this time you will give it a name other than "Hello" both in file-name and within the level file. You may also change the specifications of background, brickset, and music from a plain text editor with your .lev file loaded.
If I knew then what I know now I'd tell you that the story's true. Cause whatever you do, it comes back to you. -Slaughter, Burning Bridges

maybe you deleted too much.
this is one of my headers, showing what your level header should have:
// header
name "Train Trial"
author "KZR"
version "1.0"
requires 0.2.0
act 2
theme "themes/train.brk"
bgtheme "themes/train.bg"
spawn_point 1192 656
music "musics/citychill.ogg"everything below that is filled in by the level editor. if no bricks, objects, etc. are listed, then the level is blank, and should load fine. when loading a blank level you should press f12 to enter the editor, while your level's title is showing. otherwise your char dies because it falls off screen.
Re: Level Editor I - creating your first level
Thanks a lot everyone. I can open it in game. Thanks
