#23 I know, Techy, but the name of it is Command, not Apple.

#24 Everyone says Apple, though, since mac noobs don't know what Command is. I know. From experience.

#25 Hehehe! thanx everyone for ur help! lol im addicted 2 marble blast! heheheee... my parents cant get me off!

#26 YAY!!! i moved a trapdoor!!! WOOOT!! Pablo! luv ur work! Mwah Mwah!

that was a friendly kiss ok tho! lol

thankyou!!!

#27 Okies... i've hyped down now.... could someone PLEASE tell me how you create ur own custom levels?? some of this techi stuff is driving me INSANE!!!!!!

#28 Well, to get you started, if you moved a trap door than in a sense, you have just created a custom level. I say this because you changed a level in a small way. You will have to ask the guys how to add more detail and interiors.

I just don't have time to explain. Can only comment.

#29 Okay.....i get it....well...not really....but.....i suppose.....how come.....there is...a special space.....for custom levels...???

DID YOU KNOW: there is 41 full stops in this comment! awsome!

#30 Well, Kitty you have to save your mission after you change it. Here 's how:


In the FILE Menu in the editor chose SAVE AS, but don't over write your level(SAVE) or you will lose your original level. Change the name of the mission file to something like 'my_great_level.mis' then save it to the directory you are in(either Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced-depending on what level you change). Once you save the level, the .mis file can be found in that directory folder. For example, if you changed a beginner level, the level you save with be in the data/marble/mission/beginner directory.

To play the level in the custom tab, you must place you file in the the custom folder in the data/marble/missions directory. There should be a custom folder in the mission folder. Place the file in the custom folder. If you don't have a custom folder, create one in the mission folder.

Open marble blast game click on custom tab and play your level.

Good luck.

Easy huh?

#31 To make custom interiors, download constructor and follow my tutorial found @ http://marbleblast.proboards78.com/index.cgi?board=constructor&action=display&thread=1187563943. Then in the level editor. click F4, then scroll through marble-data-interiors until you find your interior, and choose it. Note: you will have to download marbleblast map2dif found here: http://files.filefront.com/MarbleBlastMap2Difzip/;6557671;;/fileinfo.html
to convert them into .dif files.

Note: start pad/end pad. gems etc are in the tab in F4 marble-data-shapes.

#32 Or, you can use QuArK (which I use), and create maoving platforums and such.

Get it here.

See the QuArK tutorial here. Ignore the setup, that is without the easy installer.

Use either, it's your choice. Constructor is for ease, but you need to do some editing to get it to work with map2dif. QuArK is for more professional, but you need to run 3 exes to do it. Your choice. I use QuArK, PF uses Constuctor

#33 And I use QuArK! w00t for QuArK! :D

It seems that most people like QuArK more (or at least hate constructor), so I advise you to download that if you have a PC. Constructor is so buggy, it has earned itself a bunch of nicknames... my favorites are bugstructor and shitstructor. ;)

#34 Hi, guys. I'm new here, but have been playing for well over a year. I've looked at these forums and want to ask how to make custom levels on a mac. I don't have QuArk or any other program, so can someone help?

#35 I will send you full instructions, when I can, but I didn't have much time now, because i'm going to sleep!

#36 Thank you!

#37 I'd like you to post the instructions soon, please. I don't want you to think I'm the impatiant type, but I've been trying to learn for about a year.

#38 Hey! i no wat 2 do i have a mac!

press F10 and a box will open up. type $testcheats=1; and than press F10 to shut the window again
than press
F11 and than F4.... ENJOY! and have fun jsut cliking aroudn and experimenting!

HINT: DO NOT PRESS SAVE! (or save as!) until you know what you are doing! otherwise you could ruin a level!

hope i helped :)
Kitty

#39 Wait-dont you need a program to do that? Like I posted before, I don't have QuArk, Worldcraft, or any others!

#40 I followed your instructions, kitty, but it didn't work! The box appeared, but that's it!
