[SubDrag]

Some notes from latest beta. Of course still pretty experimental - new solo levels seem not really feasible due to how the actual objectives/event ids hardcoding work, but at least can have some fun, especially in multi.

Added:
Inject ability (reshift tables for objects)
Insert/Delete/Clone Objects
Make Level Barebones (experimental, likely not great)
Import Obj in Edit Model (then open up in Visual if a level)

For anything with external objects (levels/guns), need to import and preserve external objects. For solo levels, it's recommended to make a minimal setup first, then import and preserve. All start points/triggers should be over geometry. Rooms are recommended to be rectangular and not strange, nor should they overlap due to portals. Portals are Type0E, and don't need room numbers. There are other objects like blockers, other portal/room types that probably need more examination to understand how they work. Just put Type0E for Portals in room name, and Type42 for rooms. Clipping is auto-generated by geometry. For multi import and preserve objects, then open the level and drag all the objects until are over geometry. GoldenEye levels seem to be about 0.15 scale in TWINE, everything is much smaller. Class Id may be required for some objects, like weapons, while in levels auto-increment likely ok. It can be specified via ClassIdXX in room. Characters need to have right rig. Export obj to understand each one and the types/class ids. For solo levels you may need to mostly clear out (but leave just the camera) in cut-scenes, or else it won't be above the level either. The only images flags allowed are ClampS and ClampT.

Only 4/8-bit CI images are allowed (but for some reason, guards can only be 4-bit). No other types supported.
When importing, you can actually have a moving image (moves between images), but they must share the same palette. That is a SpecialTextureMapping.txt, the second file (the first is just a file of bitmaps, one per line), and looks like, similar to how Smash Bros works:
Special Image: 0126-0000-0000.bmp
Delay: 10
Alt: 0126-0000-0000_Alt.bmp
Alt: 0126-0000-0000_Alt2.bmp

Delete Unused Objects in Game Configuration (Q and Roulette Wheel)
Sound/Midi Viewer
Export/Import Text from Game Configuration
Image Editor (edit images in objects individually without importing whole model, such as for levels)
Fix EDL Compression in certain cases

Here are two example levels (Basement, and Courier one-room solo minimal import, with virtually nothing).

You guys figure out how to barebones and load any solo level in multi I'll come out of retirement Well done for what has been done though
