HELP-How to Download (and then find) New Levels

Post by Dee » Sun Oct 16, 2005 5:14 am

I downloaded "Purple Hat..." & "Computer Games". I think I followed all the instructions right. I can find the unzipped files following the path through My Computer to the Return to Wonderland Deluxe file and the CustomModels and CustomHouses files.

When I start RTW I can't find these New Levels. What am I doing wrong?

I ran a search of the forum for downloading, but didn't find anything helpful. I did read the sticky "Useful things to know".

Please help. I would like to try some of the new levels everyone else raves about.

I followed these instructions 3 times. Still can't find the levels when I open RTW. So, these are the steps I followed. (BAD, BAD, BAD while typing the steps, I found the problem!! I feel like such an idiot! Because I saved the .LV5 file in CustomModels. So, I moved the file to CustomLevels\Cat. It works beautifully.

So for any other temporary members of the brain dead, follow these steps:

.....Step1-Open the new level thread.

.....Step2-Click "download" then "Save".

.....Step3-Save As Window=Enter the following as needed and click "Save"
..........Save In
...............For Level files (.LVL or .LV5) Save In=RTW\CustomLevels\creator
...............For Model files (usually a zip) Save In=RTW\CustomModels(unzip later)
...............For House files (usually a zip) Save In=RTW\CustomHouses(unzip later)
...............File Name=accept the default
...............Save as Type=accept the default
Click Save

.....Step4-Open RTW\CustomModels and unzip.

.....Step5-Open RTW\CustomHouses and unzip.

The steps for unzipping will depend on the program you are using.

You should now be able to start RTW, select Custom Levels, select ByUser, select creator's folder, and select the level.

I hope this is useful to others.
