Blocks II v0.2 Editing Package file

(Caution: This version of the package relies on the old Blocks II level format - it is highly recommended that you try the experimental alpha Editing Package instead, if you intend to contribute levels to the project.)

If you're having problems viewing the .tdf files in the Themes folder, try this:
Jimmy.phenomer.net

Included in this Editing Package is:

• The Editing Documentation. Refer to this if stuck.
• Blocks.acs. This is the ACS library source.
• Blocks.o. This is the compiled ACS library. These two files are merely included for reference, though they are both also present in j-blocks2v**.wad.
• j-blocks2tmpl.wad. This is a template map you can use if you want to build your own levels (or levelset). I highly recommend that you use this, as most of the information provided in this documentation is centered around you using this wad as a base.
• The Level Editor EXE, written by carlcyber.
• A blank New.tdf (Tile Distribution File) and a .tdf for each stock level (located under StockLevels).
• Five .btd (Blocks Tile Definition) files (located under Themes). These can be used to look up the way your level will look in each of the five worlds.
• Several PNG images of Doom flats and textures (located under TileImages). The editor uses these.
• A blocks-acs.cfg. If you use SLumpEd, place this in your SLumpEd/res/scripts directory and rename it to acs.cfg. All the functions and defined values used in blocks.acs will be explained here. In the ACS text editing mode (should switch on automatically if you open a SCRIPTS lump in the wad) all the newly defined functions will appear in red, and the newly defined constants will be shown in purple. Hover over the new functions with the mouse in the text window to get the order of their arguments and brief low-down on their purposes. Some aren't important to you - these are marked with "Do not use.".

To use the Editing Pack, simply extract the folder BlocksEditingPack to somewhere, preferrably your ZDoom/Skulltag folder.
