[HOW TO] Make SpeedRun levels!

[donny007]

I am going to teach you how to make levels for speedrun:

What do you need:
- GLIPSgraffiti. (http://glipssvgeditor.sourceforge.net/)(Multi platform)
- The template svg (http://speedrun.st/level-packs/level-template.zip)
- A iPod touch/iPhone
- Software to browse your ipod/iphone (SSH, Iphone drive, Disk Aid)
- A little bit creativity to make levels

1: Design them
Open GLIPS SVG editor
You will see a window like this:


- Unzip the level template to the desktop.
- Go back to GLIPS and do: file > open > desktop > level-template.svg > open
Now you see this:


Now you can start making your levels
Colors:

green circle - start position
red circle - checkpoint
black circle - hole

A box is a wall
And you can use the pen tool to draw walls.

My Level after drawing:

2: Save them
To use your levels in SpeedRun you must save them in a special way.
- First, create a folder on your desktop with the name of your level pack... something like 'Hard Levels 1337 BETA' inside that folder make some subfolder with the level names... something like 'Level 01' or 'ROFL thats simple'.

- Now do: file > save and save your level in 'desktop > [LEVEL PACK NAME] > [LEVEL NAME] > level.svg'.

MAKE SURE YOU SAVE IT AS 'level.svg' WITHOUT CAPITALS.
(NO: Level.svg or LeVeL.svg)

So you get something like this:

Full size image: Click Here
3: Use them
- SSH in your ipod/iphone (Dont ask how)
- Browse to:
var > mobile > media > speedrun

You will see this 2 level packs already inside:

Now copy your level pack folder in there.

So you get this:


Now get back to your ipod/iphone and open SpeedRun
You will see this:


After opening the pack:


And here is the level we have designed:

i know your're from the nederlands and all that, but i just thought i would correct a little grammatical error. At the top of the thread, instead of "I am going to learn you how to make levels for speedrun:"

write
