1. Editor Bases
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can create any type of levels to Trade Wars Revolution.
Becouse level should be knotty (you need to think sometime to solve problem)
joy of playing own levels may be lower couse you know solution already.
Creating level is started from full terrain and add in free space and so on.
**********************************************************************************





2. Version History
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.0
First published editor version (thats what you using).
**********************************************************************************




3. Building Level
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Building level happens whit mouse. When you start editor, you see only ground.
You see that you cant do nothing.
Build mode is deafault off so you have to set "build mode" active. After this 
you can browse objects that you can asseble to level whit arrows right down
or keyboard left and right arrow buttons.

First you need to create empty area, where soldiers move.
Start choosing that big empy space you need, you can see dimensions
at you mouse pointer, choose place where you want to put it and click left mouse button.
use right mouse button to restore terrain, remove trash etc. from level.

Browsing objects you find out different dimensions, these for relieve builders job.
Whit these Dimensions you find out: what is size of explosion from rocket,
how long is drilling distance, how hight of fall can cause death and so on.
You can't place these dimensions to level.
**********************************************************************************




4.Saving Level
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Game saves every level to four different files (I know, one would be better).
To save, click level and save (if editor complains from properties,
you need to check them first[look 6. level properties]).
Choose savename to your level and click "save". 
Congratulations! Your level is saved to Lev-folder of game.
**********************************************************************************




5. Loading Level
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can load levels to game for play or to editor for revise.
In editor you can load levels by clicking menubar and load.
Game ask what level you want to load, you can see all saved levelfolders there,
choose level what you want and click load.
Now your level is loaded to editor and you can revise it. Remember to save changes!

If level doesn't load to you editor look "9. problems".
**********************************************************************************




6. Level properties
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before saving, you need to set few options to level, first go to menubar,
choose level and properties. There should open new window
you need to fill these:

Level name
= Name of your level. this name shows in levels list.

Level author
= Level builder name, this name shows in game when you choose map

Soldiers
= How meny soldiers from ONE teleport creates. 
Notice: if you have 3 teleports in leveland you set soldier count 10,
game creates 30 soldiers to level.
So you need to set good multiplier value to Home-space.

Home
= How meny soldiers atleast you have to get home, to pass level.
Remember to count how meny Soldiers created first.

Difficult
= Difficulty of level, easy, medium, hard or tutorial.

Furthermore you need to set how meny tools used in level. Click number 
next to tool and rise counter whit left button and degrease whit right.

When properties is good, press "OK".

7. Terrain type
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you using ready terrain:
choose from menubar level and terrain.
Choose terraintype you want and press load.
(If terrain doesent load properly, look "9.problems").

If you using own terrain:
you need to create your terrain to terrain-folder of game
you can create it whit anykind of painting program, 
you need to remember:
-image size 800x525
-imageformat .jpg

When you created your terrain:
Choose from menubar level and terrain
choose your own terrain and press load.
(If terraint don't load right, look "9.problems").

NOTICE: If you use own terrain and share level, you need to apply used terrain too.
Look more "8.sharing levels".

8. Problems
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There should not be big problems, unlesh if you dont do them by yourself.
anyway heres some general problems:

Q = I can't load my own terrain to editor
A = Make sure image size is 800x525 and format is .jpg
If it doesent open, image maybe broken.

Q = I can't load level to editor or load is fail
A = make sure there is atleast :
level_Name_x.lev
level_Name_y.lev
level_Name_o.lev
level_Name.ini
in level folder

Level_name is same than the level folder name

Q = Why I can't place nothing to my level
A = Check that the "build mode" is on (down left).

Q = I can't play Level
A = Usually lack of terrain is reason, you can't play level whitout terrain, if you anyway 
want to play level you can try:
open level_name_o.lev (whit notepad or similiar)
theres information at last row what terrain level uses, 
change that row to use ready terrain on game folder
like: terrain/default.jpg

Q = Can I make levels whit editor if my editor is not up to date
A = Theres possibility that work, but I can't commit full workinng.
you should keep editor up to date.
