how to name a level '?'

Post by Guest »

Hi,
in the editor there is a 'properties' button and there is the possibility to name the level. How can I name the level '?' or '!'.
Thanks :D

you can't name levels "?" or "!" within the regular editor but some guys have changed it with hex editor or so i think.

I think the problem is he want a level name with a ! or a ?
I don't have no idea how to do that and I can't remember I ever saw a level with signs like that eighter. Do you know levels with a ! or a ? in their level name?

Oh God!
Name your level something, then outside of elma, find the level in your lev folder and rename the file...

As dz already has said, the do this by using a hex editor.

Or, you can use the Advanced Level Editor, ALE. You can fin it in the "advertisment" forum. I'm too lazy to find link for u now.

Its simple. Just open the lev-file with notepad. If everything is right you should have a lot of weird signs there. simple use the search-fucntion and search for the levfile. Now u can CHANGE a letter for ! or ? or any other.

I dont think you can add signs, just change an existing. If you add the lev file wil be corrupt.
