Suggestion - Level Editor

Hello, the level editor is okay as it is now, but it is missing a crucial feature that most other level editors have. The thing it's missing is a "Test Level" option. I abosolutely hate switching between each two when I try to fix level errors and other things.

Just my two cents.

Actually, it is simple - just have both the game & the editor open; hit alt tab to quickly switch back and forth.

This issue came up quite a while ago...

In addition to Magic1's comments, it's worth noting that you need to restart the level to see the affects of any changes.

On larger levels where there's a number of areas to get through, testing the later stages of a level can become quite a pain with the thought of having to slog through an entire level (or part) to test one little bit. One little trick is to place Stinky (or whoever) in that area you're up to testing to avoid wasting time on completed areas.

Apart from this there's little avoiding the issue & less chance of a re-write... for a while anyway.

Thanks Majic1 and Robbie for your very valuable advice.

I've been spending ages going from the editor and reloading the game.

This is going to save me loads of time

And the idea of putting your character at any point for a game test is really cool.

Also to Darky - thanks for raising this question. And WELCOME TO WONDERLAND.
