Help! What's Making Levels?

Latte · 12-10-2011

Can anyone explain this to me? I've heard/seen about it a number of times, but I'd like a confirmation of what I'm guessing levels are.

My guess: Levels are made via Graal Playerworlds. Levels are like slices of a game, whether Era or Classic, but redone in the player's style. Like, they can make design an entire house or a room to look like it came out of Era/Classic by just using the games' tile set. Game developers also create levels the same way for the actual game, and players can get hired to become game developers if they're good at making levels.

I have to be getting something wrong, so help?

Another separate question that I think is related to this. What does LAT stand for? Oh, for example, an iEra LAT team? xD

LAT stands for Level Administration Team.

You can make levels via the GraalEditor which can be downloaded at the Login server (first server when you log onto Graal) and clicking Start > Install Packages, and selecting it from the list. It will then appear in your Graal folder as GraalEditor.exe.

(You don't need gold to download it.)

Levels are the terrain/world you experience ingame, everything from the grass you stand on to a building.

Enough? Also just double click the program (should be in your GraalFolder. The Graal folder is mostly inside your documents if you didn´t change the location while installing Graal).

I don't have gold. I use a mac. When I open up install packages I dont see the option to download graal editor. Is it possible?

Jatz · 12-12-2011

You could probably get the editor from a 3rd party, but not from the client while you lack gold.

The official level editor doesn't work for Mac, you'll have to use Gonstruct instead.

Jatz · 12-12-2011

Ugh, i've always disliked gonstruct.

Just curious, (i don't even own a mac) but would the official editor work with wine?

You can still download it as Trial.
