New Level (Advanced) - Game Elements 05 v2 screen w/marker

One of my (very) rare ventures into the world of level making...

Not really a level as such but a bit of a show of the new screen model.
For those of you who had a peek at my offerings in the last comp, this is an update.

For those of you unfamiliar, the model is a screen which takes up a decent chunk of the viewing area & is available for cutomizing to your hearts content. It is only viewable from a single square (load it up & see for yourself). Heaps of applications possible.

This new version features the addition of a customizable floor message thingy - like the message squares available in the editor - so you know there's a screen there. The previous version was lacking this - the idea being that it would seemlessly fit into a level. On the downside it had to be in a square that a player would have to pass over to even know it's there at all.

There are 48 models available covering an area of 9x9 around the deadspot with a total of 6 blank templates over in the Custom Content forum with a link to my Competition entry & basic user guide for those unsure of how to add these things to your own levels.

Make sure you download the zip file & unpack it into your CustomModels directory as well - otherwise you'll end up with a pretty dumb level...

Hope you enjoy it and can put it to use in your own levels. Feel free to PM me or post here/Custom Content area if you get stuck using it for yourself.

Robbie :D

Very clever!!!!!!! I loved the little squished floor tiles - maybe you could make a little stinker tile like that?

I'm not that clever that I could use these - but a know a gal who can :wink:

Well done mate 8)

This is a really good idea Robbie. Let's people know where messages are, and in such a cute way. Janetgalle has already used them in her level, Spots.

I haven't ventured into customising levels yet, but the idea is getting more appealing.

Thanks for these - they're great.

Liz :D :D
