LL1 Editing

DANGER!

The information on this page is experimental, and may cause damage to your savegames or other files. Backup all saves, and keep your installer file or backup ready.

It is possible to create new worlds for Loonyland: Halloween Hill through the Loonyland Editor update, released July 7, 2009 by Jamul. The Loonyland and Loonyland 2: Winter Woods Collector's Edition editors are extremely similar.

Getting the Editor

The Loonyland Editor is available on the My Downloads page for anyone who is logged in to Hamumu and owns Loonyland.

If your Dumb Account does not have Loonyland registered, but you own the Loonyland 2: Winter Woods Collector's Edition, you can use Loonyland 2's editor to make Loonyland worlds. Monsters from Loonyland 2 can be placed in a world and are then converted to the same-numbered monsters from the first Loonyland, however some monsters will crash the game if placed in a level. This is not recommended now that the Loonyland Editor update is available.

Playing Your Worlds

Loonyland comes with no feature to select a custom world to play. To play custom worlds you must overwrite one of:

• loony.llw or remix.llw if it is an adventure world
• ball.llw for a Loony Ball world
• bowl.llw for a Bowling world
• boss.llw for a Boss Bash world
• survive.llw for a Survival world

Be sure to make a backup before overwriting any of these!

Using the Editor

You are viewing information about Loonyland 1 editing. Some information is specific to certain games, indicated by the icons.

The following information needs to be added to this page: Dr. Lunatic derivative editing needs a lot of work almost everywhere

Basic Controls

• Move around using the 8, 4, 6 and 2 keys on the number pad, when Num Lock is on.
• Delete things by pressing backspace while hovering over them.
• Shift + W, A, X, D to resize a level.

Tagging

Tagging is an important part of making things work as you want in Loonyland 1 and 2. The tag number is at the bottom-middle of the screen, and this is changed up and down by pressing ' (apostrophe) and ; (semi-colon). You place a tag on the highlighted square by pressing t. Tags can be used in specials for many things, and monsters take on the tag of the square they are placed on.

There are several tags with global significance in both Loonyland and Loonyland 2. These are:

• A square tagged 255 is impassible to non-player monsters (in Loonyland 2, monsters will not be randomly placed here)
• A square tagged 254 is impassible to unfriendly monsters (goodguys can still pass over it)

Specials

All of Kid Mystic, Dr. Lunatic, Loonyland, and Loonyland 2 support Specials. These are used for many different effects, including transportation between levels and a variety of other things such as signs and collectibles. Triggers are conditions that cause a special to be activated, and Effects are what happens when the special is activated.

The 'Multiple Uses' special flag allows a special to be triggered more than once. The 'Show Message' special flag causes the special to show a message upon being triggered.

There are two brands of specials: Loonyland and Loonyland 2's more complex setup, owing to tags, and the simpler setup of Kid Mystic and the original Dr. Lunatic. In Kid Mystic and Dr. Lunatic triggers lack the other number, x, and y parameters, and effects lack the tag parameter (only the Loonyland games use tags). The names of certain triggers and effects are also different between the two brands.

Special Tags

Tags, just like in Loonyland 2, control various things, such as villagers, floors, walls, or even items. Floors/walls/items can be tagged with a certain number so that a special zaps/changes those tagged floors/walls/items. Tiles tagged 255 are impassable to monsters (expect Loony). The most useful of all are Villagers tags! Those change what the Villagers say, and some of those tags even make those Villagers give quests to complete! Here is the complete list of these tags:

• 0 - Says "It's a lovely day, eh?"; acts like Zombiton Villager when requirements are met
• 1 - Same as 0
• 2 - Tree Trimming Quest Man

Variables

The following information needs to be added to this page: Most of the rest of the variables

Like in Loonyland 2, many of the specials in Loonyland work with variables. Each variable can hold a value from 0 to 255, though 0 and 1 are the most common. Unlike Loonyland 2, most variables are set manually by specials rather than when items with specific tags are picked up. Certain variables correspond to quests or inventory items, and may have special actions taken upon being set.

Different World Types

There are different 'types' of worlds in Loonyland. These are adventure worlds (loony.llw and remix.llw), Loony Ball worlds (ball.llw), Bowling worlds (bowl.llw), Boss Bash worlds (boss.llw), and Survival worlds (survive.llw). Each type must be built in a certain way, and each type has its own quirks.

Adventure Worlds

The following information needs to be added to this page: Special info about building an adventure world

Making an adventure world is very difficult if you don't know what to do. It is advised that you start off by editing loony.llw (or remix.llw). Learn the various tags by observing what happens in the game. (ex. The tagged zombies in the overworld dissappear when Zombie Stomp is completed, meaning any thus tagged monster in level 00 will dissapear after the quest is over.)

Loony Ball Worlds

Loony Ball worlds consist of five levels (00 through 04). In the original Loony Ball, these levels are titled Grassy Stadium, The Creepy Dome, Cryptic Fields, Slurpy Stadium, and Finale Field.

The monster placed at position (15, 07) becomes the goalie, and like any monster cannot pass over tiles tagged 255. The monster penalty box area should be tagged 3, and the blocks that are removed when the player is released tagged 1. The player penalty box area should be tagged 4, and the blocks that are removed when a monster is released tagged 2.

The following information needs to be added to this page: Any of this hardcoded somehow?

The spectators are simply Villager monsters and do not use tags.

Bowling Worlds

Bowling worlds consist of a single level (00). In the original Bowling, this level is titled Luniton Lanes.

The tiles tagged 1 become the Pumpkin bowling pins. There should be exactly 10 of these. If there are less, it will be impossible to get every Pumpkin, and if there are more the search for tagged squares will stop after the tenth is placed. Tiles tagged 5 are where the obstacles may be randomly placed. Usable balls (or cats) will automatically be placed withing the range (015,014) to (015,018), and Mystic Orbs (item #44) may be placed elsewhere to provide one-use balls, however this ball will be treated as if it came from the ball dispenser, meaning the dispenser moves down when this ball is used (meaning you still only get 5 shots per round). All monsters other than Loony and the Pumpkin targets will disappear during play. If the ball passes onto the (xxx,002) line it is considered a gutterball.

Boss Bash Worlds

Boss Bash worlds consist of a variety of levels, each with a preset level setup. Boss Bash worlds are mostly unrestricted in their level design - monsters work exactly as placed, as do any items. The only limitation is that the player may not be able to play certain levels if they have not unlocked them by beating the corresponding boss. Boss bash levels "win" automatically when all monsters have been defeated.

The following information needs to be added to this page: This section needs some work

Survival Worlds

Survival Mode is much like the Monster Attacks of Kid Mystic. The original survival world consists of seven levels (00-06), each titled Survival!. If less than seven levels are in the world when Survival Mode is played, Survival Mode will exit to the main menu when it tries to access a (randomly chosen) level number outside the provided range. If there are more than seven levels, only the first seven are considered for the random selection.

There should be several Bonehead (#02) monsters placed within each level; each one is changed to a different monster depending on the round of Survival (or Infinite Survival). All the original Survival Mode levels contain 11 Boneheads; if there are less, some may not appear, and if there are more, the game will crash. When all monsters have been destroyed, powerups will be placed at positions (014,015) and (015,015). When these are collected, the next round ensues.

List of Monster Type Constants

Similar to Loonyland 2, Loonyland 1 has a hardcoded association of monsters to numbers. HOWEVER, unlike Loonyland 2, Monsters are never generated by a text document specifying probabilty of spawning. Instead, the monsters are always preplaced, similar to how Villagers and bosses are preplaced in Loonyland 2.
