Can you tell me?

Can you tell me how to convert a map code into a .level file?
For the life of me, I can't figure it out.

Open a basic text editor.

Paste the level code into a new document.

Save the file with a .level extension.

Done.

(if for some reason your text editor saves the file as filename.level.txt, go back and remove the extra extension.)

As a last resort, you can always create a new level in the editor and copy/paste code over.

Thanks!

Whenever I Copy and paste a blank txt file, it turns into a level file, but when i put it into the level directory and try to host a game, it has an error and shuts down bitfighter.

By default, all level files in the levels folder are loaded when you host. I don't know what happens when you try to host a "blank file", but probably nothing good.

Can you open your copypasta level in the editor? You might be accidentally leaving out part of the header...if you want, you can upload a copy of one of your crashy levels for us to take a look at.

No, I mean that I copy the level code ONTO the blank txt file and then save it as a level file, sorry for misleading you.
Here is one of my "crashy" levels.

I downloaded the level and opened it in my text editor and found it to have line numbers and tabs, looking like this:
1. GameType 3 15
2. LevelName Hepatitis
3. LevelDescription
4. LevelCredits
I then set about removing the line numbers, got bored, and deleted most of the code, leaving the header lines, a spawn, and a couple of barriers. I loaded this up in Bitfighter no problem.

Maybe the text editor you are using automatically assumes the level to be code and formats it for you.

Or maybe you've copied level code with line numbers...that would cause a crash.

OOPS! That must be it. Thanks!

No matter how I highlight them, I can't get help copying the numbers too, and once I copy the code into notepad, I can't highlight the numbers without highlighting the code too.

When I copy code in firefox, I get "# " (instead of "1. ", "2. ", "3. "...) at the start of every line. Then I just do a simple replace to delete them all automatically.

[watusimoto]

Without getting too far into it, different browsers copy the code differently. Some include the numbers, some (bizarrely) replace them with "#".

Some editors allow you to select rectangular blocks of text; using TextPad, for example, lets me get rid of the numbers in about 2 seconds.

If everyone goes back and fixes their few posts, this issue will disappear.

Not necessary...I already went back and fixed them all.

Thanks!
