Level header help.

I need the sky# the tunes# and the level# please. Oh and I need to know how to make a level header.

Refer to here. It has all commands and what they do, and what settings you set.

To make a header, use a program like XWE. Create a lump named MAINCFG in your WAD file, and fill it with the information given by the example, suited to fit your needs (replace the name with the name of your level, the song to what you want for it, what sky you want, things like that):

You make a new lump called MAPxxD (xx being the map number you are using) or MAINCFG.

Level x
LevelName = x
Act = x
MusicSlot = x
NextLevel = x
TypeOfLevel = x
SkyNum = x

That is it, but there are other fields.

Level [map number]
LevelName = [map name]
Act = [act number]
MusicSlot = [music number]

I simplified it for messageboard use.
Edit: Someone answered before me! Oops! ^^'

I tried MAINCFG but it won't load my map right! Here is the MAINCFG:

Level A4
LevelName = Reality Room
Act = 0
MusicSlot = 2
NextLevel = 99
TypeOfLevel = 4
SkyNum = 29
NoZone = 1
Hidden = 0

Mikesword, for the Level parameter, don't use hexadecimal.

A4 comes out to 164 in decimal. Try Level 164.

Isn't it 104? Map A1 is Map101.

It showed up but then when I clicked on it this came up. "internal game map BS not found."

Hmm... SRB2's hex is weird.

I think Karuno is correct. Try 104.

Tried worked thanks guys.

Click to expand...

It's not hex, because it uses all the letters of the Roman alphabet. And A4 is indeed 104 in this case.

It DOES?! That's very odd. That would make it...

I'm not sure, exactly. Oh well, at least it works! And with all of the letters of the Roman Alphabet, you have more slots to put things in.

Still, it is a bit confusing. Do you know what base it is?

Edit: It might not be a base after all. If it doesn't use 1A, 2A, 3A, etc., then it's a custom system made for this game.

01-99 are normal. Then it goes A0-A9, AA-AZ, B0-B9, BA-BZ...
