SRB2 Level Editing Made Easy

What to Study Next

• Map headers. Map headers allow you to change your level's title, music, sky, game types supported, and more. A howto on making map headers can be found in the Editing Help section of SRB2 World.
• New types of 3D blocks. Now that you know how to make water blocks and FOF blocks, there are plenty of cool effects you can do without having too much more to learn. There are translucent 3D blocks (good for windows), invisible and intangible blocks (useful for combining effects), light blocks, fog blocks, and much more.
• Directional effects. Wind, conveyor belts, and currents can do quite a bit to liven up your maps. They all work pretty much the same.
• How to make good layouts. This guide has taught you the technical aspects of level making. Good levels need to have layouts that are interesting and balanced. If you're making a single player level, you don't want it to be too linear, or it'll have virtually no replay value, but then you don't want to make it confusing. If you're making a battle level, you should make sure the special weapons aren't too easy to access, and try to lure people out in the center of the level to get them, so there will be more confrontations. Mystic is working on a guide to cover these aspects of level design.
