Has anyone messed with the Lvlprest.txt file with any luck? This seems to be one of the files to mess around with if you want to change the looks of some of the levels..

Levels.txt and lvltype.txt seem to be the choice for changing appearance of areas, depending. Either or both seem to work depending on what exactly you want to do.I'm not sure if anyone has messed with lvlprest.txt much. It might allow for better control of level changes, but it doesn't seem to be the main dile or the key to it all. ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else.

not only these i started messing with lvlprest.txt in one of the newer XyRAx versions i removed those from the final releases since they interfered with quests (moving the crain stones around act1) but all of this can be done with the d2map editor now.------------------ ------------------------- Your Soul is MINE! ------------------ Nefarius daemonicum dominantum inimicus est ------------------------- XyRAXv21.00B Comming SoOn ------------------------- :D:D:D

Yes and no ..You can add stuff to levels with the editor, but editor doesn't tell what maps go where. For instance: What I'm going to do is add a waypoint to one of the cave levels. If I do that, any cave that randomly generates with that tile will have a waypoint. Don't want that. I THINK in lvlprest, I can tell the game to only choose that tile for the area I want. Won't know until I try, though.. Which will be later this weekend.

yes but u need to replace files, and lvl prest is pretty complicated, just make sure you match the files, i made cold crow appear as a regular part in caves since the game randomly picked the tile with cold crow.------------------ ------------------------- Your Soul is MINE! ------------------ Nefarius daemonicum dominantum inimicus est ------------------------- XyRAXv21.00B Comming SoOn ------------------------- :D:D:D
