Now for you all who are saying "What's this? ". This here is an NPC script you can put in a level to load the zone tileset in GraalEditor.exe. The script determines what tiles will load determining on what the level name is.

For Example:

Say I wanted to make a Arctic level. I would put this NPC in the level then save it with a name that starts with 'zone_arctic'. Then press the Play button in level editor and hit F4. This will have loaded my arctic tiles and I would be able to make an arctic level!

I hope this was helpful for those who want to take a shot at zone levels.

Alternative Method at the request of Bl0nkt:

• Open the graal folder then go to levels -> tiledefs
• Open the tiledefsZone.txt file and copy the contents
• Open the tiledefsOffline.txt file and paste the Zone contents
• Save tiledefsOffline.txt and close GraalEditor.exe if open
• Open GraalEditor.exe and save the level with proper prefixes as explained above then hit play then F4.

alright, i go and make the npc, and paste what u posted inside the npc(check attacked image) and then i save the map, then press the play button, when i press F4 to get back to the editor, this is what happens -______-

[VulcanP2P]

You need to have the proper prefix for the level name. i.e: If you wanted to do that level with the tiles used in wars just save the level name as zone_wars-map1.nw, press Play, then F4.

Why not just tell them how to do it permanently so they don't have to use a script each time?

Done.

I posted the first method originally because most of the people I tried explaining the method you requested to did not understand it well.

Ok I sent the files and all to the offline thing BUT I can't seem to open the stuff in graal editor.

Thanks Vulcan.

[Robert_H]

Am I the only one that has no clue what this is?!

Did you save it as a proper level name, press play, then hit F4?

[Robert_H]

Um, no.. I just don't know what the whole concept is for..

Pay better attention.

[Bl0nkt]

Let me wrap it up in a nutshell.

Copy everything you see in the PHP Code (the colorful words in the scrolling box). Go to the level editor (Easiest way is to go on graal2 and hit "Editor"). Go to Baddies, NPCs, Chests and click the thing that looks like an outline of a person. Drop it in the level and double-click it. Paste everything you copied into it. Close out of it and save your level with the correct prefix to use those tiles. By this I mean save your level with either "zone_arctic, zone_wars, zone_whatever" in the beginning of the filename (example: zone_arctic_test1.nw). Hit "Play" and then F4. You should be able to use the tiles.

All it shows is Z's every where!

What did you save the level name as?

Its a very simple concept to grasp. Look at the script an see the parts where its ,zone_dropship_, or ,zone_wars, ? Thats what you need to look at. Saving it as zone_anubissfirstlevel13371111.nw will only add the tiles with the Zs. However if you did zone_wars-anubissfirstlevel13371111.nw it would give you the Zs and the tiles used on the Zone Wars map.

[anubis_wing]

Ah cuz you see I saved it as Zone_Tiles
