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.
