Need with custom levels downloaded with Platinum Edtn.

Post by MizQuizz » Sat Dec 31, 2005 4:23 pm

Hi,

I'm a faithful fan of all the Wonderland versions. I've successfully downloaded and played the 20 new levels in the Platinum set. However, whenever I download a new custom .lv6, it doesn't show up in my game directory.

I can find the newly downloaded level only by going into my C drive and viewing individual folders.

How do I get these levels to load correctly so that I can play them?

Sounds like you are still in the "Platinum Set" sub-folder.
If so, you will need to highlight (GO BACK) with the up
arrow key, and press the "Enter" key so you can return
to the main folder.

Can't find Platinum custom downloads

Thanks for replying Amadeus. I think I'm missing something vital. When I do as you've instructed, I'm simply sent back to the menu.

I have nothing on my C drive that indicates a Platinum Set folder, and all of these levels are being saved to a folder that only seems to run .lv5 levels.

Should I re-install?

Sorry you are having trouble.

You should be able to download directly to your CustomLevels folder,
or to a subfolder within the CustomLevels folder.

Most Wonderlanders have "customized" their Return to Wonderland Deluxe/Platinum directories.

I have taken advantage of Mettes website to download all the level files "by User" so when I open the game, the list of what level to play is much shorter, and more organized. I have added a folder I call "aaplatinum" (so it stays at the top of the list of levels) into which I download all new levels. That way, I don't have to remember who made what or where I put it, so it is easier to find the new levels.
Once a month when Mette updates her site, I download the new zip and all the levels go to their own level makers folder. Then I empty out the "aaplatinum" folder and start filling it again.

You can make a new folder with any name you want. You can then move the levels to a folder named "impossible" or "keep trying" or "cool effect" just so you can find them easily. It is easy to forget which level you want to replay whan they can get lost in that long list.

The "Platinum Set" folder contains the tutorial levels for the Platinum upgrade.

Hope this helps.
