Here's some other animations I pasted together. I tried to make them as centered as possible.

I must stick this in front of the Glukkon sprite to make a wonderfully dirty picture :tard:

I think I posted this before in the thread but here you go. This is the time when I didn't have a registered version of HyperCam and the quality sucks a bit, I might re-record another later. I don't know how to edit certain sounds just replace and switch files.

Slig75 02-14-2009 12:16 PM

a very hilarious video, but it dosn't show you how to switch the sounds.:fuzconf:

Chubfish 02-14-2009 05:46 PM

I did say I couldn't do it. I said I could swap the sounds from one level to another, with the results being that all the sounds are messed up.

Unless you find a way to change an individual sound into another one there is no way of editing the sounds and probably wont be for a very long time.

Slig75 02-16-2009 12:40 PM

ok

So how can you SWITCH sounds (not edit them)

Slig75 03-11-2009 12:59 PM

this thread seems pretty dead, anybody replying?

AlexFili 03-11-2009 01:05 PM

Try renaming the two files to each other.

Eg rename A.lvl to B.lvl and B.lvl to A.lvl
Or something similar.

Slig75 03-11-2009 01:33 PM

ok, i'll give it a go

nope, just made it crash, any other way?:fuzconf:

Mod note: posts merged. Please don’t double post, Slig75.

Chubfish 03-11-2009 02:01 PM

There is no way to edit the individual beats of sound as of now, unless you talk to Paul or someone because apparently he found a way to change beats around.

All my video demonstrates is really screwed up paths leading to really screwed up sounds.

DJ9000DEVIL 06-23-2009 06:37 AM

Has anyone figured these out before? From what I can tell..

http://wiki.xentax.com/index.php/Odd...es_Oddysee_LVL

this information is only partly correct, because after ABEEL.PAL there is more 2048bytes of null padding..

After messing about with ABEBLOW.BAN I managed to make the "meat explosion" of abe/muds no longer display..

In short im trying to read/parse .lvl files in the hope of creating some basic level editor

can u plese tell me how to edit these "cam." and "ban." files and. thank u! :)

joshkrz 06-23-2009 08:13 AM

DJ9000DEVIL please do not double post ;)

Paul is inactive at the moment and has been for quite a while now, so I wouldn't bet on him giving you tips. Sorry.

DJ9000DEVIL 06-23-2009 08:31 AM

DJ9000DEVIL 06-23-2009 09:21 AM

Stop double posting, you may be new but thats not an excuse for ignorance. Double posting is classed as spam here and you will end up with a refraction if you continue.

Paul hasn't been here for a while like I said and mabey only one or two members here will be able to help you out. Please, post and wait for a reply. If you need to edit your post look for the button under the post you wish to modify.

If no one answers then contact administration or a modorator. Xaviar knows a fair bit about this I think.

If you need help on using the CAM tools or whatever, it requires use of the cmd.exe and even then it's long and tedious. It can be quite good though, like when you see the end result...i've probably posted this before but no one quoted it so:

Paul has been inactive for a while, it dosent look like he's coming back unfortunatly.

vinny460 06-27-2009 07:30 AM

well do you know how to build a level then? if so help plz

joshkrz 06-27-2009 07:32 AM

Nope.

I don't think you can actualy make levels with Pauls program, only read and edit sprites and sounds but I'm not sure, have a look through this thread for more information.

i don't think u can "build" a level i think u can just edit the sprites and the backgrounds and replace them with any level! :D
is that right?! :confused:
