Makin Save files in MMF

Like... you can save the data and load it back up like a level editor would.

Why wont anyone anwser?

yes

it depends on how complex your levels are

if they're simple, you can use INI files. More complex levels should be saved via arrays

How do I do it?

eh I'll put up just the array method for now

---

a *cough*simple*cough* method of doing it (if you're using active objects as level objects)

pretty much EVERYTHING (including background objects) has to be an active object (obviously background

objects are pasted into the background when they are loaded)

this is also assuming you use a 16 x 16 grid (you'll have to change some values if you're not). For the

arrays, you have to set their X and Y dimensions to the width and height of the level divided by whatever

your tile size is (16). Obviously your levels should be a multiple of the tile size

---

This is needed for both methods (and is one of the most painfully tedious things you will ever do in your life):

keep doing that until you get through all your objects
---

Array Method (make sure the array is numerical, set to 0-based index, and that all the level objects have the same qualifier [i'll use qualifier "1"]):

you'll still have to add the background objects to the backdrop afterwards

i did this in my head (with some reference from MPUZ's level editor), so it might not work... but it should

Level editors are complex as hell so I hope you weren't expecting something simple
