Paul's Level Editor?
 
Hey, I have been hearing about the Paul's Level Editor, and I've seen videos of it. However, I wanted to use it, but when I tried to look for it (here and on Google), I never found it.

I used the Search function in this forum, but apparently there is no way to me to get the Level Editor.

I've searched google, but the results: A topic in this forum, which apparently had no way of get the Level Editor.

So can someone provide me a link of at least the download of the Level Editor or (if there is one) the website with the level editor?

The whole thing; seeing as it's a work in progress.

Short answer: there is no actual level-editor. There is one tool that allows you to change the backgrounds, I think.

That, but I think it was also able to change the sounds.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

It goes something like this.

(The word "this" has the link, if you didn't know)

Edit: Holy doley. 3 Years. I feel sorry that they had to work hard (which I'm guessing they still are).

What had to work hard? .. Also:

Each "level" is stored in a ".lvl" file which is likely short for level, so by "level editor" whats meant is something that edits ".lvl" archive files.. which is confusing.

So .lvl can be compared to zip/rar/z7/tar and in there we have .cam files which are the background, there is a seperate tool to edit these, I also had one that I lost for extracting most sprites from .ban files too. (Also lost the source to these tools but still have the database of reversed stuff from the game)
