Re-How TO
Re-How TO
Thank you for your response earlier about custom levels.. I must be dense, because I didn't understand it. What I wanted to know was how can I use someone else's custom textures, etc. I really didn't want to know how to make my own yet. If that is what the advanced area was trying to tell me then, I am dumb founded.
Hi again Lakeowl, 
If you have a texture of someone's that you would like to use in a level, first go into the editor. Either a new level or an existing one can be used at this point.
In the Editor (Return to Wonderland start up screen) to the right of your Main window are five selection boxes. Below the Time: setting is Style. Scroll thru the choices by clicking on the different styles until you reach the Custom setting. Now hit Shift -T and a black screen will come up with a T. It is asking for the texture name. Being careful to have the texture spelled correctly and with no spaces, type that in and hit enter. After naming your level (above the time box) you may want to save your level, exit the editor and go to the gameplay mode. When you view your level, the texture should be what you selected. Repeat this process with a custom background (Bkg) but this time, you need to hit Shift - G. and enter the background name, If you are going to use a custom model, simply hit Shift - M, enter the model name. I usually set one of each of the model objects (A-D to the right of the snowman) on the board so that you can see what each one looks like.
Then design your level and post it for us all to enjoy.
I will caution you, it's best to start small, try a texture or two first. The models are a little tricky, but when you are ready, let me know if you need any help.
Good Luck
Becky
