Level Properties

Jazz Creation Station Help Level Properties | | Index |

The level properties dialog allows you to change the general settings for the level.

| Level name Enter the name of the level here. The level name can be anything and can contain any characters.
| Next level Enter the filename (without the .j2l extension) of the level that is to be played after the level is done. Using this entry you can create chains of levels, just as the normal Jazz2 episodes are a long chain of levels.
| Bonus level This field is optional and can contain the name of a bonus level associated with this level. Unless you know what you're doing - don't use this field.
| Secret level This field is optional and can contain the name of a bonus secret level associated with this level.
| Music file Enter the filename (without the .j2b extension) of the music file that is to be played in the background when this level is running.
| Light settings Use these sliders to change the starting and the minimum value of the ambient lighting in your level. A setting of 100% is fully lit, 0% is totally dark.

Multiplayer settings
If you select the Battle, Treasure or CTF Multiplayer level check-box, your level will be marked as a multiplayer level. Multiplayer levels can't have certain events in it. If you select this flag, these events will not be shown and a warning will be issued when you try to save a level with illegal events.
You can also select the split-screen type for multiplayer levels. This setting is used when the level is played in 2-player mode.

Help strings
Some events (such as the Text event) need a string to be displayed, but they can only take parameters which are numbers. Events such as Text take a TextID, which is an index into the help string list. Some events which take a TextID use the @-character as a line-break character.
