increase map and scroll size and keep everything in its place?

sure that you will have a crash... because you can't create a write_string on a private/local variable in a process and when you exit from this process no delete this text...

you have this

function string textinput();
private
    string internal_string;
    int t;
    int t2;
    byte last_ascii;
begin

    // show what you type in top left corner

    // clean the string
    internal_string = "";

    // get input from the user
    // pressing enter will end the loop
    loop
        if(ascii!=0&&last_ascii==ascii) // check if a key is pressed and if the same key

    // print the filename on the console

    // delete the text used

                                // i.e. level.filename = textinput(); be sure to declare this "textinput"
                                // function first, or it won't return a string but an int instead!

                                // the crash is probably caused by the incorrect data type that was returned.
                                // another oddity is that the map is created with w=0 and h=0, that can't
                                // be right eh?

                                // txtid is an it and not the string!


    // return the typed string (as a string data of course. function must be declared, see remark in

you must have this

thank you so much!

[MisterN]

wait, the levels being made will not load, even when put in the directory. hmmmm

[SplinterGU]

man, really you have a mess in your project...

you show a list of files in folder "@leveleditor", but when you want save/load them, you save/load them from/to current directory (I mean, from/to dcb directory) and you have example_1.lev and example_2.lev in current directory too... you must add "@leveleditor/" to all files that you want load/save...

man, clean your project directory.

[MisterN]

what should i do with all the .dll's and stuff? put them in another directory?

[SplinterGU]

some dlls you can put in other directory.
