A tutorial O.o!
 

Hello!

As some people have been asking me to help with how to make a little better levels I decided to make a quick tutorial. But because of the evil new level editor that ate my old tutorial I made a new one. Hope it can help a bit :)

Note... I will probably spell a lot of things wrong. But I hope what I write atleast is understandable ^_^

And I made the level as a fishermans house with a beach and a little forst O.o

Tutoriallevel1:
First add the trees as a basic layout and you can also add the water
and the beginning och the strand tiles.

Tutorial2:
Here I just added a house. Make the house a bit different so you don´t just use the predefinied houses.

Tutorial3:
I now added a pathway to the fishermans house and also added the sand tiles
for the road and the beach.

Tutorial4:
I did not add so much here. Some water on the grass and some desert tiles
also.

Tutorial5:
Here I added the first basic things like bushes, stones and swamp.
I also added a little float for the fisherman in the house. And also
the water so it now has water and dark water also.

Tutorial6:
Here I fixed some in the water, added stakes, weed? tiles and some flowers.
Also the pathway now has two different types of tiles. And the swamp
shall look a bit better now.

Tutorial7:
Now I fixed the final touch of the level. Mushrooms, cut down swamp tiles,
small stones, cut down bushes and so on. Also added a smokeani.gif so the
house looks a bit more pleasant.

Note: I noticed I has spellt some things in Swedish instead, I was writing about market launching at the same time and I could not keep my mind clear at what I wrote O.o!

And float... guess it will be bridge in English!

Hope the tutorial helps some people atleast ^_^

excellent level, just how i would make one

... if i could (thats what i say :) )

I need to pratice more =(

slow down biche. ur going 2 fast/

I make levels very similar to that. some extra tips to make your levels even more beautiful is to try and make things even more non-straight. it is possible. as well, for the pathway there are many other tiles you can use for the transition to sand.

Probably... I´m not to good experimenting with tiles x.x

Write a normal turtoral with alot of stuff save it in word and just put attachment here =) So ppl can download it...

Also do one on the inside levels

Agrh... I need to learn how to make levels/spell and I also need to studie for exams... somuch to do... so little time...

yeah right...... and pigs flew out my nose and great way to get a high post count

Heh... this was mostly just because some people asked for tips... ^_^

I maybe should do a new one in Word heh... when the evil editor stops eating my levels :(

Great level design ^_^x

btw niiice :)

This thread must remain at the top!

Very very very very good tutorial... this could of helped me years ago when I was a n00b using predefined houses and trees and calling them levels :).

I don't make levels that way.. I usually just think about a design I want to do on the level, and design pieces of the level until it gets finished. :)

I usually draw up the level before I make it just to see how it would look like first... but when it comes to where I shall make the level I usually make it way different :)

I do steps one and two then I just fill in with tiles where I think it is needed.

Gori, why do you have to own so much? ;O It's not fair. I wish i could make good levels like you.

stop reviving old threads

its a good thread, that helps alot of people, isnt the main purpose of this forum is to "HELP" players get better at level making? so why complain about bringing a good thread that "helps people" back. geez

Awful level, you used this style and its the worse style of making a path I have ever seen.

It is impossible to make everyone like the level, even if I now look back at it and don't think it is so good x.x!

But if you don't like it, don't use the tutorial :) And take a screenshot of something from this level and not the desert level :P

Yeah, this thread should be stickied ;O

Sorry for reviving a very old thread but I have had people ask me about levels and stuff so if this was at the top of the Level Forum more people could find it. Its a very good tutorial.

Ya this is one of those threads that more people need to see, I believe he had some other tutorials, maybe if someone like combined them and made a Gori Tutorial and stickied it. That would help people out a lot. Or just search the forums.

Searching forum sucks, you get a lot of stuff you didn't search for.

Yeah, bit its fine if you search exactly. Of course if you search a wide word such as ''Graal'' you will get loads, but if your looking for a level tutorial, once again 'Tutorial' or 'level' are wide words. You just need to be exact and use narrow words to get what you want.

Also its Gulf not the Golf war! (your sig!)
The coalition forces have nothing against Tiger-Woods!

Menion Leah and Gori were wery good level makers, i dont now if they play graal anymore but i miss them :(



This is one of the nicest tutorials ive seen, ive just seen 3 so...

I never liked Menion's levels but I talked to Gori yesterday and he is dead set against anything Graal.

you bastard spanky!! I thought a bunch of old people had come back until I saw kadar and Lordhelmut posting. ;x :-P

Any how I agree with spanky I was never that impressed with Minion leah or what ever (makes me think of Princess leia :p) It's a good tutorial for beginners who can then branch out and draw upon what they've learned. :) Also to the post about someone99 saying that that style was no good didnt know what he was talking about. It's all in how its used. If used properly mixing like that looks ok. But most people make it look bad when they do it which is why it might be a good idea to wait until you have more experience in the beginning.
