The Stinky and Loof in Wonderland Level Editor

The Stinky and Loof in Wonderland Level Editor is available in the Steam edition of the game. It allows you to create and edit your own levels. You can begin from scratch, or from any existing level, including levels developed for the original classic trilogy. You can play levels while you are editing them, so you can be sure they play the way you want. Once ready, you can save levels to a new story, "My Custom Levels", and play them like any other levels in the game.

Starting the Level Editor Scroll toTopToolbar

To start the Level Editor, press Esc anywhere in the game and then click the Level Editor button on the pop-up Settings form. The game displays the Level Editor File Menu, allowing you to select a level to edit, including the level you are currently playing (if you are currently playing a level).

The Level Editor Screen Scroll toTopToolbar

The Level Editor displays the same level map as the game, except that the Editor:

• shows the level from directly above instead of in perspective. This allows you to see everything in the level, since nothing is hidden behind walls.
• draws a grid over the map, so that every non-empty tile is bordered by a heavy orange line. A double-width orange line shows the outside borders of the map.
• overlays some of the objects and tiles on the map with large white text or symbols showing detail about the object. For example, walls higher than a single tile show their height in tiles; a Kaboom! or UFO shows its current direction and turn direction; and so on.
• shows empty space tiles as black, so you can easily distinguish them from the level background.
• shows large objects, such as houses and motherships, as partially transparent so you can see the tiles under them. You can use the Toggle Transparency command (Ctrl+T) to switch these objects between partially transparent and opaque.
• hides rippling water and reflections, so you can clearly see the blue bottom of water tiles.

You can pan around the level by pressing the middle mouse button and moving the mouse. When you release the middle mouse button, the level stays in its panned position; the view does not snap back to the active character, as it does in the game. Another difference from the game is that pressing the Shift key while moving the mouse does not cause panning.

You can zoom in or out of the level by spinning the middle mouse button.

See Editor Controls for a summary of all editor controls.

As you move your mouse around the level, the Editor shows a teal box with information about the tile and objects it's over, including a row and column reference. Rows and columns are numbered from the top left, starting at zero.

Selecting, Copying and Moving Objects and Tiles Scroll toTopToolbar

The fundamental editing operation is copying and moving objects and tiles:

You can copy an object from a palette of objects by clicking the toolbar button to display the Add menu and clicking one of its buttons. This is how you introduce new objects to the map.

A summary of these operations is available on the Editor Controls page.

Modifying Objects after Selection Scroll toTopToolbar

When an object is selected, the Editor displays properties information about the object in an orange Selection Information box. You can alter these properties while the object is selected by pressing an arrow key, the < key, or the > key. You do not need to press Shift when using < or > (that is, the Editor interprets comma and period as if they were < and >). The key to use is indicated in the Selection Information box as follows:

Object	Properties
Breakway Tile	Press < or > to cycle through the number of uses before the tile breaks. You can also specify a value by pressing the appropriate number key.

 Messages Editor (F6) Scroll toTopToolbar

The Message Editor menu allows you to create and edit the messages that the game displays when a character steps on a chat icon. To start the Messages Editor, click the Messages toolbar icon , or press the F6 key. Starting the Messages Editor displays the Messages List form that shows all of the level's messages.

Each message is identified with a two-digit number from 00 to 99 that is displayed in parentheses to the left of the message on the list form. The Level Editor map shows this number in red over the chat icon associated with the message. The number is never shown in the game itself.

A language dropdown in the upper right corner of the form allows you to display messages in any supported language for which the message has been translated. If no translation exist for a language, players using that language see the level's messages in English. You can enter or edit translations on the Message Detail form.

To display the Message Detail form for an existing message, click the message in the list. To create a new message, click the New Message button.

The Messages Detail form allows you to edit messages. Messages can contain rich text (HTML-like formatting tags).

 Custom Graphics Menu (F7) Scroll toTopToolbar

The Custom Graphics menu allows you to manage custom graphics, including importing new ones. To display the Custom Graphics menu, click the Custom Graphics toolbar icon or press the F7 key.

There are four types of custom graphics:

Backgrounds	A background is the graphic that fills the screen behind and outside the map. You can create any number of custom backgrounds, each with its own graphic that is tiled and displayed across the screen.
Houses	Houses are built into the game and used in many levels. A custom house graphic provides up to four designs for the walls and roof of a house.
Models	Models are 3D objects that provide scenery for a level. You can design new custom models in any 3D modeling program (for example, Blender), and create any number of custom model collections, each with up to four models.
Styles	Styles are the graphics used to build the map, such as its floors and walls. You can define any number of custom styles.

To select a custom graphic type, click on the type name at the top of the Custom Graphic menu form. This causes the form to display a panel containing a scrollable list of all graphics of the selected type. There are a number of built-in custom graphics that were created for the Secret Worlds and Beyond Wonderland stories. You can use these graphics in your own levels, but cannot delete or update them. You can add an unlimited number of you own graphics that can be updated or deleted.

If the level you're currently editing uses a custom graphic, the Graphics Manager identifies it by placing a blue checkmark icon to the left of its name. You can add or remove a graphic from a level by selecting it and then pressing the "Set in Level" or "Remove from Level" buttons. To select a graphic, click on it. This highlights the line containing the graphic and enables one or more buttons that operate on it.

There are six buttons on the Custom Graphics form used on all of its panels, some of them global and some of them applying only to the selected graphic.

Import	Pops up a Windows Explorer form allowing you to browse for a zip file containing the files comprising a custom graphic you want to upload into the game. The required contents of the zip file vary with the type of graphic; see Custom Graphic Zip Files.
View Edit Delete	Allows you to work with the currently-selected graphic. The button's label and function varies with the graphic: Delete Allows you to delete custom backgrounds, houses, and styles that you've added to the game. This button is disabled for built-in backgrounds, houses, and styles, as these cannot be deleted. View Allows you to view built-in custom models. Clicking this button displays a game map with the model at its center and the View Model form in its upper right. You can zoom or pan the model; switch between models in custom model groups with more than one model; or even move Stinky around the map to change your view of the model. Click the Return to Editor button to return to the Custom Models form. Edit Allows you to edit or delete custom models that you've added to the game. Clicking this button displays a game map with the model at its center and the Edit Model form in its upper right. The Edit Model form allows you to rotate or scale the model, or adjust its position. You can zoom or pan the model; switch between models in custom model groups with more than one model; or even move Stinky around the map to change your view of the model. Click the Return to Editor button to return to the Custom Models form.
Set in Level	Sets the selected graphic into the level you're currently editing. The effect of this depends on the type of graphic: Background Enables and selects the "Custom" setting of the Background dropdown on the Level Properties form. You can use this Level Properties dropdown to control whether or not the custom background is used in the level. Houses Makes custom designs available when you select a house in the Scenery tab of the Add menu. To use a custom house design, select the house on the Scenery tab and use the > and < keys to cycle through available designs. Models Makes up to four custom models available in the Scenery tab of the Add menu. Style Enables and selects the "Custom" setting of the Style dropdown on the Level Properties form. You can use this Level Properties dropdown to control whether or not the custom style is used in the level.
Remove from Level	Removes the selected custom graphic from the level you're editing. This button is enabled only when the currently selected graphic is marked with the checkmark icon that indicates it's in use in the current level.
Close Update	Closes the form and returns to the Level Editor. The button label changes from "Close" to "Update" if you've made any changes that affect the appearance of the level in the Level Editor, such as selecting a new style for the level. The Editor applies these changes and redisplays the level when you press the Update button. If you like, you can use the Undo button to reverse the changes.
Help	Displays this Help page in a browser.

 Viewing or Editing a Custom Model

Pressing the View or Edit button on the Custom Models section of the Custom Graphics form suspends the editor and shows the selected model as it would look in the game, along with the View Model form (for models included with the game), or the Edit Model form (for models you've added to the game). The game map has the model at its center, with Stinky behind the model. You can pan or zoom around the model, or move Stinky to change the view. If the custom model group contains more than one model, you can switch between them using the dropdown below the form title. When you've finished reviewing the model, press the Return to Editor button to return to the Custom Models form in the Editor.

If you've selected a model you've added to the game, the map includes the Edit Model form. This form allows you to rotate, scale, or adjust the position of the model. When you're satisfied with your changes, you can save them to set the way the model is seen in the game.

There are five sections on the Edit Model form:

Model Selection	A custom model group can contain up to four models. You can switch between them by selecting the desired model with the dropdown below the form title. If you have unsaved adjustments to the currently displayed model, the editor asks if you want to abandon them before switching models.
Rotation	Allows you to rotate the model on any of its axes. You can use a slider or enter an explicit rotation angle in degrees from -180 to 180. The X rotation rotates the model from side to side; the Y rotation rotates it forward or back; and the Z rotation turns it around its center.
Position Shift	Allows you to offset the model from its placement tile. The game map shown with the Edit Model form places the origin point of the model on its center tile. A model's origin point is defined by the 3D modeling program that created it, and can be anywhere within the model, or even outside it. You can use the position shift slider or enter an explicit shift amount from -1.5 to 1.5 in any of the axes to move the model's origin from the center of the tile. The X shift moves the model left or right; the Y shift moves it forward or back; and the Z shift moves it up or down. The maximum shift in any direction is 1.5 tiles. To shift a model more than that amount, use your 3D modeling program to adjust its origin point.
Scale	Allows you to change the size of the model. You can use the slider or enter an explicit scale from 0.1 to 5.0 to scale the model from one-tenth to five times its original size.
Buttons	There are three buttons on this form: Save Saves the adjustments you've made to the model's definition. These adjustments become part of the model and are applied to it when the model is used in a game level. They are included with the model when it's exported to a .loof file. This button is initially disabled. It becomes enabled when you make any changes. Delete Deletes the current model. If it's the only model in the model group you're editing, it also deletes the model group; otherwise, it only deletes the current model. Delete cannot be undone, and the editor prompts you to confirm the delete before it proceeds. The Delete button is disabled if the model is used in the level you're currently editing. Return to Editor Closes the Edit Model form and returns to the Custom Models form in the editor. If you have unsaved changes, the editor confirms you want to abandon them before exiting.

 Custom Graphics Zip Files

Each custom graphic consists of a number of files, with the required files depending on the type of graphic. To create a new graphic, create a directory with the name of the graphic and populate it with the required files, which you create with the image editor or 3D modeling program of your choice. When you're ready to test the graphic, zip up its directory and upload it to the game by pressing the Add button on the appropriate panel.

All graphics types must include a file called desc.txt containing a brief description of the graphic in English and optionally in French and German. The English text must be enclosed in <en-US> and </en-US> tags; any French text must be enclosed in <fr-FR> and </fr-FR> tags; and any German text must be enclosed in <de-DE> and </de-DE> tags. Here is a sample desc.txt file.

The remaining required files depend on the type of graphic. The table below describes the content requirements for each graphic type. The Download links lead to an example zip file of each type that you can use as a model for creating your own.

Graphic Type	File	Description	Download
Background	back.jpg	A square tilable graphic. We recommend 256x256 for background graphics. "Tilable" means that copies of the graphic can be arranged into a grid with no boundary lines showing.	Fire.zip
House	house#.jpg	A 256x256 graphic containing four 128x128 images. The top left is the front of the house; the bottom left is the back; the top right is the side; and the bottom right is the roof. There can be up to four image sets in a custom house graphic that must be named house1.jpg to house4.jpg. Each corresponds to one of the four house types you can select in the Editor. You do not have to provide all four houses in every custom houses graphic; any missing house types are replaced with the standard graphic for houses of that type.	Shack.zip
Model	model#.obj	A Wavefront obj file containing a 3D model. Wavefront files can be exported by a number of 3D modeling programs, including Blender. There can be up to four models in a custom model graphic that must be named model1.obj to model4.obj. Each supplied model results in a custom model selection button on the Scenery panel of the Add menu. Most models designed for the classic Wonderland trilogy, such as those in the The Return To Wonderland Level Archive, are in 3DS format. 3DS is an old binary-based format that unfortunately cannot be imported directly into Stinky and Loof in Wonderland. However, you can use the free and open source 3D modeling program Blender to convert a 3DS file into the obj format that can be imported into the game. See Converting a Classic Trilogy 3DS Model to Obj for Stinky and Loof in Wonderland for a guide to doing this.	KaboomStatue.zip
	*.mtl	A materials file containing textures for a 3D model. The mtl file is typically exported at the same time as the obj file by the 3D modeling program. It is referenced by name from the obj file and should not normally be renamed (its name does not need to match that of the model). If you do choose to rename it, be sure to update the obj file (a specially formatted text file) to reference the new name.
Style	Breakaway#.jpg	A 64x64 graphic containing containing an image of a breakaway tile. All styles must have a Breakaway0 image. You can also supply images Breakaway1 to Breakaway3 that show the breakaway tile as more and more broken as a character steps on and off it.	Lush.zip
	Floor#.jpg	A 64x64 graphic containing containing an image of a floor tile. All styles must have a Floor0 image. You can also supply images Floor1 to Floor3 to provide alternate styles of floor tiles. Switch between styles by pressing the < or > keys after you select a floor tile in the Editor.
	WallAtlas#.jpg	A 768x1024 graphic containing six 256x256 images in the form of a cross that wraps around a cube to form a wall tile. See Wall Atlas Layout for detail on the layout of an atlas. All styles must have a WallAtlas0 image. You can also supply images WallAtlas1 to WallAtlas3 to provide alternate styles of wall tiles. Switch between styles by pressing the < or > keys after you select a wall tile in the Editor.
	WallSide0.jpg	A 64x64 graphic containing containing the image of a wall side tile. The WallSide0 image is used on the sides of any towers in a level.
	WallTop0.jpg	A 64x64 graphic containing containing the image of the top of a wall tile. The WallTop0 image is used to tile the background when you select the flat or slanted background for a level.
	Importing a Classic Trilogy Custom Texture You can use the ConvertStyle utility to convert a classic trilogy custom texture to a Stinky and Loof in Wonderland custom style. See Using a Classic Trilogy Custom Texture for more.

 Properties Menu (F8) Scroll toTopToolbar

The Properties Editor allows you to manage level properties. To display the Properties Editor, click the Properties toolbar icon , or press the F8 key.

The Properties Editor form contains a number of properties. Level properties that you have edited but not yet saved are are highlighted in yellow and italicized.

Name	The internal name for the level. This name is not shown to players. It should be unique.
Time Limit	The level time limit. You can enter this either in minutes and seconds, separated by a colon, or just as seconds (with no colon). The form always displays minutes and seconds.
Title	The level title shown on the Level Selection form and briefly displayed when the level is played
language	The language dropdown changes the displayed language of the level title, allowing you to enter or edit a translation.
Style	The overall style of the level, affecting the appearance of floor tiles, walls, breakaway tiles, and other level components.
Background	The background of the level, affecting what the game shows behind and around the map.
Tint	The color of the ambient lighting of the level.
Music	The level's background music. The Chapter Default setting causes the level to use the music configured for the level's chapter ("Intro" is the default for Custom Stories and My Custom Stories). You can select one of six music tracks. Selecting a track causes the editor to briefly play its beginning.
Viewpoint	The player's view of the level. There are three options: Normal views the level from above and behind the active character, so that the player can see the whole map (or as much of it as fits in their display). First Person views the level the way the character sees it. The player can still pan to explore the level from above. First Person - Pan Disabled views the level the way the character sees it and prevents panning, so the player must explore the level from the ground. This markedly increases the difficulty of the level and so should be used with caution.
Weather	Level weather. You can select rain, snow, lightning, or any combination.
Map Size	The size of the level map. You can enter a new width and height (between 8 and 99) into the "Desired" fields. When you do, the Editor highlights the center Anchor button and shows the number of tiles that will be added or removed from the top, bottom, left, and right of the level. You can change the anchor by clicking a button. For example, if you want to leave the lower left tile where it is and add or remove tiles only from the top and right, click the lower left anchor button. Click the highlighted anchor button to swap the top/bottom or left/right values.
Update	Click this button to close the form and apply the changes on this form to the level you're editing. Values that will change when you click Update are highlighted in yellow and italicized.
Cancel	Click this button to close the form aand abandon your changes.

 Help (F1) Scroll toTopToolbar

The Help button opens this help page in a browser and scrolls it to the section documenting the current Editor context. To display Help click the Help toolbar icon , or press the F1 key. You can press Ctrl+F1 to display the Editor Controls page.

 Play (F5) Scroll toTopToolbar

The Play button returns to the game to play the level as it is currently configured in the editor. To start playing, click the Play toolbar icon , or press the F5 key.

A level launched from the Editor plays normally, except:

• The upper left corner of the level shows the Return to Editor button . Clicking this button (or pressing Ctrl+E) cancels gameplay and returns to the editor with the level in the same configuration as it was when you launched the level (that is, changes made during gameplay are discarded).
• The Pause menu shows only the options Restart, Return to Editor, and Resume. You cannot save, restore, or start a new level from a level launched from the editor. Restart starts the level in its Editor configuration.
• Successful completion of a level launched from the editor does not update completion statistics on the Level Selection form and does not award any stars. Buttons on the completion form provide a choice of restarting the level or returning to the editor.
