Pop-Pop Level Addons

I noticed (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/webboard/Forum67/HTML/000175.html")this topic(/url) and decided that they didn't see something I did. They say that there is no way to create addon levels except through the unsupported level editor. Well, I noticed that if you open the Data folder for Pop-Popand then the levels folder, you'll see a folder called "Put your levels here" or something to that extent. This suggests that Ambrosia did have addon levels in mind when they made Pop-Pop.

Yes, this is true. Many of the levels in pop-pop are made by yours truely.

But how do I make my own levels? Did Ambrosia want us to use an unsupported level editor? If so, why did they name the folder "Put your level here"?

I'd still like to know if Ambrosia wanted us to use unsupported editors. And where do I get any of these editors?

Well, I think Mascot, the Farazel editor, is unsupported, at least that is what is often said. My guess is that unsupported editors are the path to new levels. Where to get them, I have no idea.

Just noticed that in the topic I mentioned in the first post, there was a link for (url="http://"http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=15773&db;=mac")PopEdit(/url). Apparently, it hasn't been updated in ages and cannot load levels, but it does the job. It's amazing how many people were complaining that it didn't work well. All I can say is that it is easy for me to use.

If you made a level and want to delete/change difficulty of the level, just open up the pop-pop data folder, open the levels folder, open the folder called "Put your levels here", and then the folder that corresponds with the type and difficulty level that you saved your level (example: pzMedium for Puzzle- Medium). Then select your custom level and delete/move it into a different folder.
