− | == | + | == Frequently Asked Questions == |
− | + | '''1. Did you export your music file?''' | |
− | + | This is probably the most common cause of crashing. When the game loads a sublevel, it also reads the Totaka file for that specific cave and if there is no music assigned to this sublevel then it will crash. | |
− | + | To fix this, Cave Creator does infact create the music code for you! If you weren't aware, there is a music option in Sublevel Properties where you can select what song you want to play on that sublevel before clicking Add Sublevel. To get this code, go to File > Export Music (or Ctrl+M) and save the text file anywhere you like. Proceed by following the instructions provided next to the music options in Sublevel Properties. | |
− | |||
− | ''' | + | '''2. Did you add too many enetities?''' |
− | |||
− | + | Sure, Cave Creator doesn't have a limit, but there isn't unlimited points for each room! This is something for the distant future where you can actually make changes to the coordinates of the points and the number of points. | |
+ | If you really want all of your 80 enemies to spawn, try adding more rooms (in Sublevel Properties)! Just bare in mind that the more you add, the less the game will be able to handle you could perhaps get a crash. That said, I've done well over 80 Wollywogs in one sublevel (7 rooms). | ||
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | '''3. Are your entities in unavailable spawn locations?''' | |
− | '' | + | I imagine /you/ can't answer that, but maybe I can. Did you select Enemy Group C? It's important to note that not every room has points for this. Only a few use it frequently and only actual boss rooms have a proper point for it. |
− | + | It's recommended to just avoid using this location until every single room is tested and we can say for certain when you can/can't use it. This isn't a bug, nor a problem. | |
− | + | What about in the case of dead ends? Well, there is actually some RNG involved with dead end spawns so there is actually a possibility you'll catch your sublevel 1/5 times without the dead end spawn. This is completely normal (but honestly quite annoying). More than one room typically deals with this, though. | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | '''4. Why are the values for {f000} and {f001} wrong in the display view?''' | |
− | ''' | + | Do not worry about this, if you actually take a look at the full cave view, you'll notice this is fixed and that they all add up properly. The selected sublevel view is just restricted because listbox items cannot actually be 'edited', only removed and then added back which adds a whole lot more work for me. It's not something necessary to worry about so just ignore these values if you prefer the selected sublevel view. |
− | |||
− | |||
− | ''' | + | '''5. Why doesn't the sublevel's enemies or properties change after I've added them?''' |
− | |||
− | [ | + | It's important to note that my tool is quite literally and only a cave /creator/. There is no way to edit sublevels as of right now (hence how there's no import cave file option). |
+ | So what does this mean? It means that clicking Add Sublevel means you're happy with that sublevel and are ready to move on to the next (or save). That said, there is a workaround. If you add your sublevel and DON'T have 'Clear All Widgets Upon Adding a Sublevel' checked (it's unchecked by default, don't freak out), then you can just go ahead and click Remove Sublevel [count], make your changes and then add it back. | ||
