Subject: A86: Re: level editor?
the easiest way is if u have the source code of the program
that uses the
level then you can just use their code to decode the level.
if you dont have
their code and they havent told how to decode the levels
then you can
disassemble the program that uses those levels and
search through the code
to find what you need (ie look for the ret 20h as a
clue to where a level is
going to be loaded). so if u make it to the point
where u can decode it
right then you just gotta put a cursor in and make it
scroll and let them
edit the map. after that is done you could probably
write the encode
sequence yourself basically by reversing the decode or you
could one again
look to the disassembled program for the best source code
to do this.
