Gates are connected like this GATE_XX_YY : DISCONNECTED, XX_YOUR ROOM : GATE The gate tag at the end is important as it basically tells the game to run the gate opening and closing sequences and its lock value. Lock values are the requirements for the player to pass through the gate. Also the disconnected is not rendered in game but still important. The text files and png's for gates are to be put in a folder called gates in the world folder for your region, this is also where your locks.txt file (the file that sets your lock values) should be. To set your gates lock values : 1. Create a locks.txt file in your gates folder 2. Do the formatting below GATE_XX_YY : 1 : 2 The values 1 and 2 can be replaced up to 5 and represent the karma you will see Eg. GATE_XX_YY : 3 : 5 means that it requires 3 karma entering from the left and 5 karma exiting from the right. Happy region making !
since gates are separate from regions, do I connect the rooms from both XX and YY? like GATE_XX_YY : DISCONNECTED, XX_YOURROOM, YY_MYROOM : GATE EDIT: ALSO, always remember to put all lock values in between merge brackets! they will override default locks otherwise
You DON'T put the locks.txt file in "modname/world/gates". You need to put it in "modname/modify/world/gates" and put [ADD] at the start. Putting it in "modname/world/gates" will OVERRIDE the existing locks.txt file, which will make ALL other gates (including vanilla ones!!) nonfunctional.
VERY IMPORTANT: If you do decide to ever release your region, make sure that before deciding on the acronym of your region, check the region lease. The region lease is a spreadsheet that contains the acronym of every region with the region's name and author. This is because if two regions use the same acronym, they'll be COMPLETELY INCOMPATIBLE. So after you have an acronym that doesn't conflict with anything on the lease, you can put it on the lease. You can find the lease by searching or asking for it in the modding academy discord or in the modding channels in the rain world discord. Another thing: ive heard that the lease has actually completely filled up recently. You check if thats the case, and if it is just wait for an abandoned region purge or for more slots to be added. Also, general advice, keep your scope down. Scope creep is very easy to do with regions. Don't start with a 4 region expansion, don't start with an iterator. Not only does that save some slots on the lease but also your futute suffering.
As someone who was severly traumatized by the original rw level editor i can comfortably say that this video is a live saver for anybody looking to get into region modding. Thank you🙏.
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU SO MUCH. THIS IS FINALLY A TUTORIAL THAT MY BRAIN CAN HANDLE. i should stop typing in caps. but seriously this is an amazing tutorial. and a small thing is I'm still curious on how to make shelters
I was JUST made aware that a better level editor exists. Thank you so much. I've been utterly traumatized by the original editor and I'm so glad that there's a more user friendly alternative!
My favorite editor is Rained since I got so used to the original editor. Basically the same but with tons of QOL. Similar UI but more mouse support and you can view tile graphics in all modes and it comes packaged with community tiles, props and effects.
To anyone having the "realizing" error with warp menu. I accidently wrote ENCREATURES instead of ENDCREATURES in world_XX and was getting the error. When i fixed it, it also fixed the error. It might be a similar issue with others so idk.
Good video!!! The gate connections... the same happened to me a long time ago, and if I remember correctly what I did was checking the gate settings. There should be a file named something like gate_xx_yy_settings.txt, where xx connects with xy, and that file should be in the folder called 'gates', located in 'world' folder. In the same 'gates' folder, there is the 'egates.txt', that represents the connections between the regions, and the 'locks.txt' that represents the karma levels for the gates, ranging from numbers 1-5 if I remember correctly, the 1 being the lower karma level. Sorry if it's too confusing, I tried my best remembering it; the last thing I searched about level creation is the implementation of custom props in RWE+, because I tried modifying the innit file, and they do actually appear, but the colours are messed up
Although it was already stated, the official level editor is fine enough, just janky as hell at times but it does the job for most of the part (aside some few gimmicks), like needing to use the numpad's 8-4-6-2 with numeric lock on to move around the view lol (and others) Also the guide has been very helpful so far honestly, it's really just easier to process tbf
1. Game doesn’t care if it is in lowercase or not. 2. You’re missing gaps in your text files such as ENDROOMS (should be END ROOMS). 3. The official editor isn’t a bad editor in itself. It’s the most capable editor being that it was made by the devs themselves, there’s also the community editor which is a mod for the official editor which fixes bugs and adds tweaks to the editor. It’s also the base of all editors and most compatible. Its only downsides are that it is built on a dead engine and runs poorly, and a steep learning curve. I will admit that I do have a soft spot for the editor as it was the only editor back in the day and I’m one of the creators of the community editor.
@@DryCryCrystal1. in all honesty I have immense respect for the original level editor. 2. I'm a complete dumb ass when it comes to making tutorials. 3.

i had the same error, im pretty sure its because instead of doing END ROOMS they did ENDROOMS, its ment to be spaced out :D same with END CREATURES im pretty sure. if not i have no idea but thats what fixed mine.

One question I really need answered, and I mean REALLY, is, how do I make these rooms only accessible to certain slugcats? I’m asking bc I’m trying to make a custom slugcat that has special rooms to spice it up.

Happy region making !
It still crashes for me
EDIT:
Never mind
since gates are separate from regions, do I connect the rooms from both XX and YY?
like GATE_XX_YY : DISCONNECTED, XX_YOURROOM, YY_MYROOM : GATE
EDIT: ALSO, always remember to put all lock values in between merge brackets! they will override default locks otherwise
How do I stop it from crashing? The gate is functional and shows me the karma level but when it is in the middle of the animation it crashes
@thayneironworks no only connect it to the ones in the region file it is in
You DON'T put the locks.txt file in "modname/world/gates". You need to put it in "modname/modify/world/gates" and put [ADD] at the start. Putting it in "modname/world/gates" will OVERRIDE the existing locks.txt file, which will make ALL other gates (including vanilla ones!!) nonfunctional.

Got it, so my adventure to make a working Happy Wheels knife throw map starts.
ironically, this is quite original an idea outside of happywheels XD.
drop the mod when its done i want it
4:59 you can move the camera in the official level editor with the numpad
its really difficult and some people dont evcen have a num pad
Will I ever make a custom room? Probably not.
Will I enjoy the full tutorial series? Absolutely yes!! This is so wholesome❤
