files that end with .nw
 

Ok when you use ctrl+f5 or f4 or whatever, it used to copy the level and NPC's (except the scripting of the NPC's) but now it saves the files as screenshot_whatever.nw
what the heck is used to open a .nw file?

When you goto the Open window, select All Files from the File Type menu. Or in the filename box type *.nw and press Enter.

Thanks!

err, .nw was made so people would not take exsisting tile arangements on the server, would some one deleat this thread?

you cant open .nw filez, ive already tried =\ it wont open those file. and NW is for New World i guess..

The NewMain and Faheria levels are in nw format
it's not the same as NewWorld, but I don't know... (or even better: I can't know :D )
But I heard it has some extra features (setfocus and resetfocus may work there,and the toweapons /Weapon )

Bird Bird not they werent. i believe Stefan actually gave out the NW viewed =\

*.nw can and can't be openned, depending on how you got them.
If you save a *.nw file using Crtl+5 (or whatever it is), it saves the level in *.graal format, only renamed. And you can open it in the editor.
If you get a *.nw level straight from the ftp, you can't open it, unless you have a developer version of Graal (which very few people have).
I know this because, I've saved and opened files from online mode. And when I had my harddrive reformatted, I lost the bomy cavern files and Stefan had to download them from the ftp and send them to me, and he sent me a "developer version" (thats what he called it) of Graal, cuz I wasn't able to open the cavern files with my usual Graal.

:eek: you're lucky :eek:
and I'm not :(

And what does the deverloper version do,except opening *.nw files?

Nothing else that I can remember. I don't have it anymore because of the newer Graal versions that were released. I also don't have Graal at all since my harddrive crashed. I'm still waiting for my new harddrive that should be here Monday.

The .nw files are saved in a VERY cool way... You can edit all of the NPCs in notepad or something like that, and if you blur your eyes you can see the outline of the level in the jibberish letters... it's pretty cool. You will see .nw levels on servers with NPC Servers because with an NPC Server, Graal cannot read signs unless the level is in the .nw format.

So every P2P server has .nw files?
But it says .graal on Teir'Dal I think¨.
I gotta ask Geo about it.

to edit/veiw .nw levels you need the dev version of graal which is not available to everybody ( haha i have it and you dont :D )

NW levels can be viewed..even rename them .graal..

Read SSmutz post :D

GLEVNW01
 

The format that the *.nw levels are in is the GLEVNW01 format. I asked Stefan to use it when developing G2K1 last December, and it kinda stuck... it was only supposed to be used because of some of the ideas we had... that of course never were developed. It uses a text format that has a 12bit index and is encoded in a base64 format so AA is tile 0, AB is tile one.... and so on and so forth...

Stupid ***** is an Oxy*****.

do you guys like have a problem or something???

Meh,that account sharing idiot started it

No, STUPID ***** is redundant. SMART ***** is an oxy*****.

Stupid ***** is a double negative.. which means he is smart =P

Ok guys, that went totally off track. I know what I need to know now, so STOP SPAMMING!

Stupid ***** is the lower end of intelligence among *****s. A smart ***** would be of the higher end. :)

what is this about anyway>?

well accually, with an npcserver, graal can still read signs in .graal format. That is the format Bravo uses.

Here is an overlay of the text file and the level.. If you look hard you can make out the level in the text =)

ToT is also in nw format.

hey, I hate NW files!!

I LIKE YEH SIG ABOUT MERLIN!

I can open .NW
 

:o I can open .nw because i gots the developers edition. Chances are alot of people have it because mine came with my graal!
