Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Ok I got the custom-release pack to work :) The one you're directed to on the first page of this thread. Is that the latest?

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

The link at the top of post 2 is to the latest version, yes.

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Alright well I got that one to work, can I post up noob instructions, because the one on there was took me two days to wrap my head around and I only got to understand by using what you showed me and doing some digging myself. I think it would be appreciated for those not used to X Terminal to have somewhere to go for perfectly clear instructions. Is that alright?

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

I can't see anyone having a problem with that, no. Simple instructions are always useful.

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

K cool. I'll have it up hopefully by the end of the day in a new thread for easy access as this one has many pages already.

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Please don't start a new thread, just add it to this one. If your instructions are clear and useful then they can be linked to from the start of the thread. Adding a new thread will just mean users will get confused about which thread to read (or it'll just get merged back into this one).

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

kk no problem

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Alright this is what I did to install the "custom-release" Angry Birds level pack.

These are the same instructions as the creator posted but are more Noob friendly.

The entire process once followed exactly won't harm your device but I still warn you to place no blame upon me or anyone if anything is to go wrong. I will however try to help where possible.

Well firstly, download the "custom-release.gz" folder to either your PC or to MyDocs on your N900.

When this is finished you'll need to extract the contents and to do this we use X Terminal. So if the folder is on your PC transfer it to MyDocs on your N900.

Open up X Terminal and get rooted (you must have rootsh installed to do this). To get rooted type "sudo gainroot".

Now you got to change the directory to where you placed the "custom-release.gz" folder. If you placed it into "MyDocs" then to change/go into the MyDocs directory type "cd /home/user/MyDocs" (spell exactly as shown)

Now you're working in MyDocs and you want up extract the folder "custom" from "custom-release.gz". To do this type "tar xzf custom-release.gz".

Now you want to be in the new "custom" folder which was extracted from "custom-release.gz" so type "cd /home/user/MyDocs/custom or just "cd custom". To verify if "custom" is in MyDocs use Cute Explorer or your File Manager to browse MyDocs.

Now we are almost finish. Type "sh setup-cust-AB" finally "sh run-cust".

Now the level pack you originally had has been replaced with the custom levels.
To go back to the original ones go back into X Terminal and get rooted again then change directory to custom (by typing "cd custom") and then typing "sh run-rovio". If you didn't close off X Terminal after getting the custom levels then just type "sh run-rovio" to revert/go back to the original Angry Birds levels.

It is suggested that before you perform an OS upgrade or buy and download the OFFICIAL LEVELS to go back into "custom" (cd custom) and run the command "sh run-rest".

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

sorry not been on here in a wee bit.

has any one been using the custom levels since we got the upgrade.
(i havent bothered what with having designed and played them)

but i though some of the pieces id used had changed properties causing the levels to colapse to the ground.

is this not the case?

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Ok guys, this is my first public custom level for AngryBirds 1.3.x
Just rename it to Level1.lua and overwrite /opt/rovio/angrybirds/data/levels/pack1/Level1.lua
It's very easy to beat, but it's my first, so I'm only learning to do it right.
My personal record for the level is: 157390
it's been done with: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...659#post862659
here is screenshot of the level:

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Ok here my first play with the Editor

Its a shame you cant seem to edit direct to the device meaning a lot of pluging /unplugging the cables :-)

Its more a proof of concept attempts

You do not place catapult, its done automatically, but oddly its placed where bird 3 is, not bird 1. not quite sure why there


I found getting screen co-ords right a bit puzzling. lots of stuff i initally placed appeared off screen on N900 and could not be scrolled to

but here it is.
Is no one else having a go?

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Actually you can. Install SSH server to the device and open sftp connection to the correct directory. Then you can just drop the new level there and press restart from the game. No need to even restart the application. :)

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Oh now you mention it, i did have ssh installed DOH.

however i didnt know i didnt even need to restart game.

That will work great, if i can remember how to get ssh server running


Cheers

Welcome to "Piggies of Swing"

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Heres another.

RoBoT TeEtH

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Here we go again.

This ones called N900 for obvious reasons

AS always (despite getting very little last time) Id love feed back.

im throwing these up fairly fast so, others should feel free to have ago.

or suggest improvements to my levels to make them more playable or aesthetically pleasing.

I recon given the 15 levels in the level pack and the ones im working on now, were soon going to have a full 21 levels.

With a few more people we can get a second 21

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

In what has to be my Favourite named Level yet.

May i proudly present The Pig and the Pendulum

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

interesting idea, but too easy, I did it in 2 tries with 2 birds.

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Oh man your obviously much better than me, as it took me quite a few attempts to solve it.

and in theory it should take at least 2 birds,

if not then i need to raise the piggy.

comming up next "Newtons Cradle" but its even easier just now, trying to work out how to make it more playable

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Let me introduce Roll, Roll, downhill
Can someone do it within 1 bird?

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Close but not quite.
so far no luck with 1 bird
I can kill 3 and give the big purple face to the fourth.

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Oh spoke too soon.
1 bird and a score of 45230

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Ok its still not as tricky as id like.
but i like the coolness of Newtons Cradle

so here it is.

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Now one slightly harder one: fortress

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Ok, this is maybe a more normal style level.

i can seem to fix the settling at the start. but the structures seem to hold up. So if anyone sees it fall apart with no birds, do let me know.

Ive managed this with 2 birds to spare and a total score of 95170,

ive also managed it (and this recorded here to start building up star level info)
83120 2* ??
77180
73180 1*

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

cool level, no chance to beat the score unfortunately :(

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Yeah i recon that the 3* level should not be as high as 95000
maybe 85000, but i want to see other people score first


Im relatively pleased as this is probably the most normal level ive done so far.

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Well i just cant help myself. Here another level. Again not quite a standard one, but i quite like it and managed it with 1 bird to Spare (but think it can be done in 2 birds)

with a score of 45050

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

another straight-forward one: Egyptian influence
is it doable with 1 bird? I don't think so, but I might be wrong :)

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

2 birds.. 65050

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Just one for tonight

and Tonight's is called Protective Custody

Ive done it with scores of
25320
43020
67490

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Wooops. Just realised this ones not solvable.

But at least i did say it was only a proof of concept.

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Just one more again today.

I recon 2* score is 41000 and 3* score is 50000, but i would particularly like feedback on people scores on this one.

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Hey,
great work, everyone!
I think my video about how to add custom levels to angry birds is obsolete.
Is there a way to install custom levels without loosing the original one, yet?
Then I have to do another video...

Thanks!

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

The install of the Custom pack is still valid, you just need to copy the new levels over the spare levels in custom pack 1
Problem is that there now more levels than 1 pack so Rovio pack 2 can be copied to custom dir and files replaced there. The maping with the levels to the File name is listed below

level : filename
1 ; "Level1"
2 ; "Level57"
3 ; "Level53"
4 ; "Level3"
5 ; "Level6"
6 ; "Level2"
7 ; "Level4"
8 ; "Level5"
9 ; "Level7"
10 ; "Level8"
11 ; "Level9"
12 ; "Level13"
13 ; "Level10"
14 ; "Level39"
15 ; "Level12"
16 ; "Level15"
17 ; "Level17"
18 ; "Level14"
19 ; "Level16"
20 ; "Level23"
21 ; "Level44"

2-1 ; "Level52"
2-2 ; "Level34"
2-3 ; "Level42"
2-4 ; "Level24"
2-5 ; "Level88"
2-6 ; "Level36"
2-7 ; "Level31"
2-8 ; "Level21"
2-9 ; "Level41"
2-10 ; "Level76"
2-11 ; "Level38"
2-12 ; "Level35"
2-13; "Level20"
2-14 ; "Level26"
2-15 ; "Level66"
2-16; "Level85"
2-17 ; "Level27"
2-18 ; "Level32"
2-19 ; "Level72"
2-20 ; "Level90"
2-21 ; "Level96"


There really not been that much interest in the new levels, so i cant be arsed setting up a new custom install with all the levels.

However if we do get enough interest from people and some feed back, especially on scores, so i can work out 2* and 3* levels. Then i will set up a new cusom pack install complete with a new settign files for custom levels so that each new level has its *scores

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Yes. On some levels the things just follow the gravity.
Just installed the levelpack after some time.

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

yeah i got around to settin up custom levels again.
look like rovio fixed a bug i was using to hold up structure
i just need to replace the pieces i was using. with the corret piece

but as there not been much interest in new levels. just havent been bothered

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Thanks for that. Its really appreciated to get some scores and feed back.
The * levels dont mean anything, as it depends what level you copy over. Other than Where ive listed what i think they should be.

The Pig and the Pendulum isnt to bad, just need 2 solid hits.
Well done of the 1bird Protective custody though


The reason part of structure stays in the Air is the ballons hold it up.
The same is true of N900 but baloons are so high you cant see them
there was no way to get the 9 to stay up otherwise.as the top part of the 9 has nothing to balance on.

which was your favourite. and what do you think i need to change to make ones you didnr like more fun?

Re: Angry Birds Custom Levels
 

Oh and id love to know how you did Bombs away in one bird. Im well impressed. Only managed it with 2 birds
