Not all versions of 2000 because my 2000 Server uses the old structure. It's best to ask.

Holy crap, looks like you guys are finding out a whole lot more. I haven't played around with this at all since writing that guide. Good to see somebody else picked up the slack.

What browser?


Mozilla Firefox 0.8 AND IE 6.

Oh. I could only get it to work in IE 6. That's weird.

so... Color Printer made a fanstuff page about this. So far I've made 5 level with the testing version of my level editor. It goes fast that way.

  1. Place your index finger above the Print Screen button
  2. Lower your finger onto the Print Screen button
  3. When your finger touches the Print Screen button, you will meet light resistance, but continue lowering your finger so that the Print Screen button is depressed
  4. When you can lower your finger no farther (i.e. you meet hard resistance), the Print Screen button is considered "pressed", and you may raise your finger off the key again



... ;)

I don't get how you would do this on a Mac. Macs don't have C:Documents addresses like Windows computers do, and most of us Mac users use Safari, and don't even have IE installed. IE ended support for the Mac at version 5.2.

I knew that prefectly well, but IJ said to press the Print Screen key, so I made fun of n00bs that see not exactly the same text and completely freak out. :)

The level editored 'lim' smilde created works great.

It just needs a few bug fixes, and it's perfect!

Ah...well, I've been working on and off on my editor...as of now I have to finish the XML parsing and in-memory compiling (to ease coding). After that I'll probably be able to get at least editing existing objects done.

Ed's level editor worked perfect after I put the files in the right places. I made an installer for him, too, so I'm expecting a release soon.

EDIT: Thomasman, what operating system do you have?

You may want to update your files, as v3 of the game is already out. Goes up to level 5, and if you stick any level design into any of level 5's slots, you can play any level using 1-Up. Taking level 5's code and inserting it into any normal stinkoman level will allow you to play as stinkoman in level 5. I'm not sure what happens when you use level 4's code.

Um... can I please have a downloadable version of Stinkoman levels 1 - 5 for me to edit? The one that is linked in fanstuff only has levels 1 - 3.

Go here - all the files to download, or an installer if you're on Windows.

Thanks, but um... another question.

For those really big levels where you don't want to have to beat the beginning over and over again to test out the ending, is there any way to start the camera far away from the start? I know how to do Stinkoman, but the camera stays at the beginning, and if Stinkoman goes too far away from the camera, he automatically dies.

You can make custom levels now, you know. It's not too hard once you get the hang of it.

Hey guys,

I'm sorry I didn't find this forum earlier, but I created my own Stinkoman Level Editor. I've had it finished since a week after Stinkoman 20X6 first came out.
Mirror 1: http://joesarcade.hopto.org:8093/stinkoman.zip
Mirror 2: http://joesarcade.tripod.com/stinkoman.zip
Mirror 3: http://www.geocities.com/joesarcade/stinkoman.zip

If you get an error message saying something about cmdlg32.dll or anything when you first run the program, download this file and unzip it in your windows system directory:
http://www.geocities.com/joesarcade/vbjoe.zip

If you like it, just remember these two words: Superjoe Software.

That's a good level editor for a VB program however may I make some suggestions.
    Changes:
  • To me it doesn't make sense to hide the player start point in the level properties dialog. It's nicer to have it available in one of the menus directly, but what would make even more sense is to just allow it to be draggable like platforms or any other game object.
  • Give objects some default values instead of zeroes so that they can operate "out of the box" so that users arn't left guessing. In addition, please remember which page of objects a user was last on.
  • If the user accidentally closes the application, there is no warning to save changes before closing, the editor is simple closed and any changes lost. Include a dialog to accomodate this.
    Fixes:
  • There is no way to delete the playtest starting point.
  • Undo and redo are very buggy. I have seen undo make items appear that never existed in the level and generally create a mess. Using undo and redo a few times easily throws an "Object variable with block not set" error, which means that an object variable is not pointing to any instance of an object when you try to use it. My disposition is that you should remove this feature until the bugs are worked out of it. It's not particularly needed anyway.
    Additions:
  • It would be nice to see an object list editor, such as you might find in a 3D package. An interface that lists all the objects currently loaded into your level and gives you the ability to select, edit, delete or hide them using the list. This is most useful for a crowded level. This approach would also require that objects have uniquely identifying names.
  • Include `Properties` option in the right click context menu for objects.
All in all, a good effort, but what's the Flash.oca file for? Your last two file mirrors also do not work. Finally, the source code would make an interesting read.

Thank you for the bugs and suggestions. It is a great help to me, in order to make my level editor better.

It is in the menus, Object -> Set Starting Point. I might make it draggable.

Quote:
* Give objects some default values instead of zeroes so that they can operate "out of the box" so that users arn't left guessing. In addition, please remember which page of objects a user was last on.

Good idea, will do.

Quote:
* If the user accidentally closes the application, there is no warning to save changes before closing, the editor is simple closed and any changes lost. Include a dialog to accomodate this.

Those dialog boxes are annoying, but ok. I'll make it ask you only if the file is altered, though.

Quote:
* There is no way to delete the playtest starting point.

Yeah, if I made starting points draggable and selectable like other objects, I could have the user press delete. I'll do that.

Quote:

I need to start over on those aspects of the program. They are pretty bad.

This approach would also require that objects have uniquely identifying names.

Personally, I would never use this for Stinkoman. But to compromise, I'll make check boxes next to the list of levels to include objects for, so you could enable only objects in a certain level.

Quote:
* Include `Properties` option in the right click context menu for objects.

Check.

Quote:

I'm pretty sure my program needs it to playtest levels. It shows up as a reference.

Quote:

Grr, I hate it when they don't let me link to my own file. I'll make a web page with the link on it.

Quote:

I'm hesitant.

Nice idea all the same.

Are you really from the Republic of Azerbaijan?
