Level Editor

[Yami]

I really want to use a level editor for my game, but I have no knowledge of how. And yes I have looked at examples and read articles. They have done nothing for me. Anyone willing to help or perhaps team up with me to make one?

~Thanks

All you need are some basic components:
-Planned out level format
-Extension to use to save the file in the format and load it as well
-Working user interface
-File associations (good to do with the Power System Obejct)

After you have that all done, all you need to do is take your planned level format and then incorperate it with saving and load.

Have you looked at mine?

I hear Nifflas has a good one too. I know you said you've looked at them, but just in case

@LB
haha I know how it works. Just can't make it...

[LB]

Could you tell us what you "can't make"?

[Yami]

Saving and loading multiple levels?

[RickyRombo]

Oh that's easy

I did it on my editor, didn't you see? You can even build your own EXE with mine

Saving and loading multiple levels?

Saving and loading different files?

We need to know what exactly you are struggling with. You can't be too vague.

Well I only got as far as being able to add some tiles, saving it and then being able to load it. But I was only doing it with one file. :/ I have no idea how I would incorporate it with my games engine right now.
