I have created an online level link editor. The purpose is to make it easier to create and link levels in-game.
New Features
1. Quick Linking. Warps you to the destination level where you can place your player where they should be warped to, when done you simply click the 'Link Here' button, fine tune the coordinates and then click Add Link.
2. Re-Warping. Allows you to re-define the warp field location, width and height.
3. Destination Level is now a text box with a drop-down menu that keeps track of the levels you've visited since you turned on the tool.
Install Instructions
Add the script as a weapon on your server. Also update the levelfolders array on the server-side to match your server's folder setup. I set a default one that covers a fairly common/generic set though so it may not be required.
You will also need to give the (npcserver) write access to the level. I.e: rw levels/*.nw
In order to make changes to the levels you will also need write access to the levels as well.
OLLE Usage is automatically logged to logs/olle_log.txt
How to Use
The link editor can be turned on and off by pressing F12 or using the /linkeditor command. Both are easily changed in the script.
Left-click and drag will draw link.
Double-clicking in the boundaries of a link will open the link editor window.
Disclaimers
Changes to links are updated in the level right away so be cautious when editing links.
There is no 'locking-mechanism' so conflicts can occur when two or more people are editing the same links/levels at the same time.
On the other hand, free-to-play games, if unbalanced, could result in some consumers paying extremely large amounts of money, and we can certainly not expect to build a good relationship with our consumers in this fashion. In order to have a favorable long-term relationship, we would like to offer free-to-play games that are balanced and reasonable.

This version works better than any interation I've seen yet. Why not combine this system is the online level editor?
I prefer the modular approach for maintenance reasons.
I also didn't write the level editor. The most popular one relies on the server to save the level which conflicts with my npc editor and the link editor since they edit the file directly.

You can still use them all separately though, right?
Yes you can, how i combined mines to the level editor i created a new option in the edit drop down and added edit links that triggers the seperate link editor for easy access.
