Web-based & DS-based Lox editors

BigRedPimp — Tue, 09 May 2006 01:36:37 +0000

My good friend MrMr[iCE] has made a web-based editor for Lox which I’ve been tweaking. Also, WinterMute (of devkitPro fame) has made an editor for use on the NDS. It will save to any device (I hope) that uses Chishm’s FAT libraries (GBAMP, MK2/MK3, SC SD/CF, etc).

The submissions should be sent to the same address as pointed out here and here.

LoxDS Map Editor updated & usage description

You can find the editor here. Also, follow the jump for a brief description of how levels can be designed. See this post for submission information. I have 2 weeks to get levels done so the more the better.

[BRP]: hedges to outline the level
[BRP]: you can do shapes & such, granted there’s no gaps in the outer bounds of the hedges
[BRP]: the floor tiles can be ignored since I moved to a dynamic floor generator
[BRP]: the Lox tile is P1 start, the Orc-looking creature moves in a “hit wall, turn right” path, the tree shoots fireballs when Lox crosses its path, the helmet head slides towards Lox, the goblin moves in a “hit wall, turn left” path
[BRP]: doors should be placed either on a hedge or be surrounded by them
[BRP]: rocks & crates can be pushed
[BRP]: potion bottle gives Lox 2 fireballs each
[BRP]: and keys, of course, are to complete the level
[Friend]: only need one? or can a level have more than 1 door?
[BRP]: 1 door
[BRP]: keys are just a goal object
[BRP]: think of it like key pieces rather than a whole
[Friend]: ok
[Friend]: so if i plant 2 keys, they need both to open door
[BRP]: yep
[Friend]: allrighty then
[BRP]: once you collect all the keys, certain monsters come to life
[BRP]: the tree & the helmet head are always alive
[BRP]: have to block them from hitting you
[BRP]: the wall guys only move once all keys are collected
[Friend]: k
[BRP]: gives you ideas on how to place the level objects

Lox DS levels needed

BigRedPimp — Thu, 20 Apr 2006 20:49:04 +0000

I’m looking for people to make some levels for a DS version of Lox: Monsters Labyrinth. The level editor is fairly simple to use so see what you can come up with. Please zip up all level designs into a zip named the same thing you named the level. Level names should be letters only and contain no special characters (spaces, hyphens, etc). Send all submissions to submissions [at] wifico [dot] net.
