Braid's readme says that "instructions on how to create mods will be posted separately". Until they appear, we only have the ability to access the editor and enter custom worlds:
Running the editor
To access Braid's editor, run with -editor, then press F11 once the game has loaded.
- [ and ] : skip levels. You can visit two of the test worlds this way.
- L : when playing, reload the world. In the editor, move to next entity.
- Ctrl+I : warp to Tim
- P : pause
- T : puts a pink box on the screen. Purpose unknown.
- Q : change border of highlighted entity from yellow to blue. Purpose unknown
Running mods
To play a mod, run with -universe universe_name.
Save this code to a .cmd file to make things a little easier:
@echo off
dir "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\braid\universes\"
echo.
set modname=
set /P modname="Select universe (case sensitive): " %=%
if EXIST "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\braid\universes\%modname%" (
"C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 26800 -universe %modname%
) else (
echo.
echo ERROR: Invalid universe name!
echo.
pause
)
Of course, you should change the two paths to Steam if Braid is installed somewhere else on your system.
Hi, just wanted to tell you of some new editor commands I discovered today.
[ and ] can be used to skip levels if -editor is enabled. You can actually visit two of the test worlds this way. (World 0-7 and the default world.)
L in game - Reload world
L in editor - Move to next entity
Ctrl-I in editor - Warp to Tim
P - Pause/Run the game
T - Puts a wierd pink box on the screen. Not sure what this does.
Q in editor (while highlighting an entity) - Changes the yellow outline to a thick blue outline. Not sure what this does either.
I'll comment again if I find more.
Thanks, can you add all that directly to the article? Anyone should be able to edit it.
Hi, here are some more editor commands I found 2day..
e- decrease depth value by one
r- increase depth value by one
ctrl+g- think select same type entities
f9- reloads particles (both in-game and editor)
page up- not sure slightly zoomed out background layer
ctrl+j- previous entity (l and j also work)
f8- deselect entity
ctrl+w,s,a,d- nudge entities
BTW anyone know how to add a collision layer or block to a new map..
