The wooden ball is wood object 7 i think in that file. in fact i think i called it ball. so should be easy to find in the code.


and yeah pyramid was designed with that in mind. i had the balls closer to start with but i just could not do it in 1 go. but on shot one i nudged one ball and on second shot got them both going, so i knew to move them apart. it migth have been possibel originally but a lot trikkier



And i just loved OhPiggywhereArtThough

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

Ah yeah. idecided to just leave them as it didnt matter on that level.But at one point in Drop. i had the wodden slats vibrating, and on occasion it would just kill one pig without doing a thing

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

Cool my next level is ready.
http://static.pixelpipe.com/cdbeca0c...3e6fccb8_m.jpg

took loads of tweaking and loads of playing to try and finish this level in 1 go. My max score is 42910.

good luck and enjoy.
Any comments are always welcome :-)

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

The traditional approach to this sort of thing in Linux distributions is to release the stuff/code in whatever form you feel most comfortable (though tarballs would be good), and let someone else worry about the packaging.

It would help to have some clarity on the licensing of the new levels; anything that's a modified version of an original level is probably not going to be distributable, but anything that's original probably would be. It would make the position of potential packagers easier if you could slap a suitable licence statement on them, preferably using a well-know Free software licence. That way any packages could just pick up the licence from the level files themselves.

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

Mikka , care to comment, i know your happy with us creating them, what about packaging them up.
Totaly your call. I know your hopping to integrate custom levels, so dont want to step on toes.

Just stop me if im doign somthing your not happy with. but hopfully ive understood you rigth and youve been happy with my Fake pack2. Is packaging up more than that ok, or just leave it at tar file in this thread.

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

The biggest issue is that before we provide any officially supported way for playing user created content you will need to overwrite our levels with modified files. As far as I know two packages can't contain same file so that would create a conflict, preventing the latter package from being installed altogether. I fully support you making custom levels and sharing them but I can't really give my approval for making a package that installs in /opt/rovio/ hierarchy breaking our own level packs.

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

I think I found a bug or something wierd going on.

On this level that I am busy building while testing I notice that if you know the top wooden ball and it rolls towards the end of the screen, it actually hits something invisible?? so instead of dropping down to the piggy, it gets stuck or bounces in mid air.

Could someone test this and confirm what I am seeing...

P.S I still managed to finish it in one go, but I'm not sure I want to continue building this level if I can't fixed the invisible object :-(

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

Hi Miika,

I know this a lot to ask and probably gonna be a NO, but worth asking.

Is there any chance that Rovio could supply us with a list of the various objects that can be used?
e.g small box, long box, dynamite etc etc.
Or is this simply something we going to have to work out ourselves?

Also just wanted to check if anyone is actually working on a gui for a level editor?

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

They are all listed in the blocks.lua file.

We have plans regarding an official level editor but I can't promise or even give any details yet before we finalize our plans.

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

Thanks for the reply :-)

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

Here the next one RollOverMissPiggy

i managed this with 3 birds , but it took me ages to do. Let me know if you manage it in less than 3 and how you managed it please.

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

Two birds, score 37170. :)

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

im not seeing an issue but im not sure im following you,

can your expalin a bit more your problem

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

Yeah, slowly but it is being developed.

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

Bah. Ive tried and i tried and i still can only do it with 3 birds.

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

the issue with the invisible object seems to be gone. must have just been my phone.
i like your last level.
it takes me 3 birds and score 32680. i played it for about an hour he he he

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

sorry to appear thick,

I've got teh level pack with 3 new levels in place but can't for teh life in me seem to work out what level numbers are in use and what number is 'next'.

I've tried putting pyramid.txt in and renaming it to Level1.lua etc up to 20 but each time I start up I just get the same 3 levels.

Can someone point me in teh correct direction please I would be eternally grateful!

Many Thanks

PS< to Miika, I'm another who is eagerly awaiting an opportunity to buy the 'official' level pack, PLEASE see if there is another way for us to get it, paypal, etc, whatever it takes!

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

Theres a post earlier in the thread that maps the levels to the level file names

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

Do you mean http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...9&postcount=40 ? If yes, how to use it for example if you want to install one of those new levels for level 4 of pack2?

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

1-21 pack1
22-42 pack2 so 2-4 is 25
-> 0067C8 41C60600 [028] loadk 25 27 ; "Level24"

so copy over file Level24.lua


But with Luck tonight im gonna package all the released one up. into a new tar

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

Maybe someone could create a little launcher app that would ask the user whether they wanted to play the original levels or custom levels. If custom is chosen, it temporarily overwrites the levels in /opt/rovio/, launches the game, then when the game quits it puts everything back as it was originally.

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

Many Thanks guys, I'd missed that but now all sorted and enjoying teh new levels, I'll try and build some if I get time!

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

That's a great idea.
Would make switching between levels much faster.
Although at the moment, I very rarely find myself playing angrybirds WITHOUT having x-term open.

Also would anyone be interested in creating a basic webpage for custom levels so people can record scores?
I'll try and see if I can create an editable page with screen shots on my website, but might be nice to have a dedicated Angry birds website for this?
Any ideas?

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

Is 1.4e+6 to high a high score, as that what i just score on one of my custom levels(in work)


opps

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

lol that is pretty high, but makes me very interested in playing this new level of yours :-) Is it finished yet?

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

Its been longest in development, as like all my levels its got a little bit of sillyness. that i just cant get right

but ive also been learnign lua. so i now have a catapult and bird object that i can move the whole lot by just changing the 1 x.y co-ord

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

ooh thanks very good :-) Glad you learning more about the editing.

Really looking forward to more levels, sorry that I haven't done anymore but I been really busy the last few days.

I also haven't managed to work out a way for people to submit high scores yet, but will keep thinking about that. We might have to have that you do it by submitting a screen shot as proof or something not sure yet.

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

my next one will be worth looking at to steal some of the coding bits.

Yeah i hope a few more people try making one, and roll onthe editor. ive got soem stuff for that todo thisweekend

but as only about 25 people are downloading the extra levels, there not as many people playing it as i thought


as for high scores. its easy for me to fake any score :-)
so trust it would have to be

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

One reason why they aren't may be due to this thread being in Games. I rarely ventured in here and only found it when googling for extra levels. it may be worth a post in teh standard N900 forum to point people here or even an "Idiots guide to adding our custom levels to Angry Birds" type post


have we got a tar file of all custom levels yet or shall I try and do it tonight?

Re: World of Goo port: a call to action
 

Can someone make a wiki page? or a little tutorial how to install these extra level :D? thank you. I got lost after reading all the page xD

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

I explained it back on page 5 I think, here-> http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...6&postcount=49

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

a new tar of the 6-7levels definitly this weekend. id do it now but im nearly there with my next level. Max score is looking to be 1000000 ish though. so its gonna trash the score for what ever level i put it in place of.

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

Ok this isnt the Huge High score one, as i had a brain wave (and i dont want to put the high score on in the pack) So this is kind of based on the the one to come and its called Birdhouse in my soul.

again if you like it or dont, please feed back. id like more feed back on others as well. Or if you dont want to write just hit thanks so i know people want more.


UPDATE
i replaced the file.

its only change in camera angles, and put a stand under the catapult
playing level should be identical

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

OK here it is. Meteor Shower. This one has a high score of about 614100 well thats my SCORE :-)


I have had to gzip this one as the files too big.

due to this massive score . I dont plan to put this one in the tar, unless enough people specificly say it should be included.


The plan originally was that the longer you took the higher the score but the harder it was to complete.

but i discovered that the level continues even after all pigs are dead untill all objects stop moving.

so it wasnt quite what i wanted. but its not to bad in the end


Those of you looking at creating levels, might want to look at code as ive used loops and created groups so. if i move the x,y of one of the bird houses the whole structre moves. including the pig inside.

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

ok here if it works from the n900 is the replacement pack2. unzip and untar file and copy all file in mypack dir to
/home/opt/rovio/angrybirds/data/levels/pack2

10 levels in there
up and over
3 little pigs
through the wall
mind the steps
drop
pyramid
oh piggy where art thou
bounce left right
roll over miss piggy
birdhouse of my soul

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

I see the editor got a manrion in the Maemo weekly news.

I wonder if thats why the normal download of about 20 people per level has shot up to 36 for the tar.


Thanks to people who thanked me :-)
if anyones struggling to get them working (ie if you dont understand tar and such,or any issue for that matter just drop me a line)


and since quite a few people have not got the 10 levels.

Which are your favorite 2.

Mine is the Meteor_shower (not in pack due to its insane high score) and bounce left right

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

Hey cgarvie, good work :-)

I'm glad the thread got a mention in the Weekly news letter :-)
I haven't tried your last level yet, but will def give it a go tonight :-0

I'm also very happy that you like "Bounce left right" level :-)

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

Just to clarify a couple of things with replacement pack 2:

1) Do we need to have downloaded the official add-on pack from the Ovi store to get it to work? -I want to but can't due to the current Ovi Store problems.

2) Will the pack overwrite existing, original levels / high scores? If so, is there any way to get them back or back them up afterwards?

3) Will the pack cause any problems with the new official levels when they come back on sale?

Thanks for everyone's work on this, it's a really great game.

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor?
 

Oh, and, is there any chance you could add in Meteor Shower or have an alternate pack with all the additional levels regardless of highscores?
