Angry Birds Custom Levels

[cgarvie]

Ok here my first play with the Editor

Its a shame you cant seem to edit direct to the device meaning a lot of pluging /unplugging the cables :-)

Its more a proof of concept attempts

You do not place catapult, its done automatically, but oddly its placed where bird 3 is, not bird 1. not quite sure why there


I found getting screen co-ords right a bit puzzling. lots of stuff i initally placed appeared off screen on N900 and could not be scrolled to

but here it is.
Is no one else having a go?

Actually you can. Install SSH server to the device and open sftp connection to the correct directory. Then you can just drop the new level there and press restart from the game. No need to even restart the application. :)

Oh now you mention it, i did have ssh installed DOH.

however i didnt know i didnt even need to restart game.

That will work great, if i can remember how to get ssh server running

Welcome to "Piggies of Swing"

[cgarvie]

Heres another.

[cgarvie]

Here we go again.

This ones called N900 for obvious reasons

AS always (despite getting very little last time) Id love feed back.

im throwing these up fairly fast so, others should feel free to have ago.

or suggest improvements to my levels to make them more playable or aesthetically pleasing.

I recon given the 15 levels in the level pack and the ones im working on now, were soon going to have a full 21 levels.

With a few more people we can get a second 21

In what has to be my Favourite named Level yet.

May i proudly present The Pig and the Pendulum

interesting idea, but too easy, I did it in 2 tries with 2 birds.

[cgarvie]

interesting idea, but too easy, I did it in 2 tries with 2 birds.

Oh man your obviously much better than me, as it took me quite a few attempts to solve it.

and in theory it should take at least 2 birds,

if not then i need to raise the piggy.

comming up next "Newtons Cradle" but its even easier just now, trying to work out how to make it more playable

[forcer]

Let me introduce Roll, Roll, downhill
Can someone do it within 1 bird?

Close but not quite.
so far no luck with 1 bird
I can kill 3 and give the big purple face to the fourth.

Oh spoke too soon.
1 bird and a score of 45230

[cgarvie]

Ok its still not as tricky as id like.
but i like the coolness of Newtons Cradle

so here it is.

[forcer]

Now one slightly harder one: fortress

[cgarvie]

Ok, this is maybe a more normal style level.

i can seem to fix the settling at the start. but the structures seem to hold up. So if anyone sees it fall apart with no birds, do let me know.

Ive managed this with 2 birds to spare and a total score of 95170,

ive also managed it (and this recorded here to start building up star level info)
83120 2* ??
77180
73180 1*

[forcer]

cool level, no chance to beat the score unfortunately :(

[cgarvie]

cool level, no chance to beat the score unfortunately :(

Yeah i recon that the 3* level should not be as high as 95000
maybe 85000, but i want to see other people score first


Im relatively pleased as this is probably the most normal level ive done so far.

[cgarvie]

Well i just cant help myself. Here another level. Again not quite a standard one, but i quite like it and managed it with 1 bird to Spare (but think it can be done in 2 birds)

with a score of 45050

[forcer]

another straight-forward one: Egyptian influence
is it doable with 1 bird? I don't think so, but I might be wrong :)

2 birds.. 65050

[cgarvie]

Just one for tonight

and Tonight's is called Protective Custody

Ive done it with scores of
25320
43020
67490

Wooops. Just realised this ones not solvable.

But at least i did say it was only a proof of concept.

[cgarvie]

Just one more again today.

I recon 2* score is 41000 and 3* score is 50000, but i would particularly like feedback on people scores on this one.

Hey,
great work, everyone!
I think my video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcSLjVvIMbU) about how to add custom levels to angry birds is obsolete.
Is there a way to install custom levels without loosing the original one, yet?
Then I have to do another video...

Thanks!

The install of the Custom pack is still valid, you just need to copy the new levels over the spare levels in custom pack 1
Problem is that there now more levels than 1 pack so Rovio pack 2 can be copied to custom dir and files replaced there. The maping with the levels to the File name is listed below

level : filename
1 ; "Level1"
2 ; "Level57"
3 ; "Level53"
4 ; "Level3"
5 ; "Level6"
6 ; "Level2"
7 ; "Level4"
8 ; "Level5"
9 ; "Level7"
10 ; "Level8"
11 ; "Level9"
12 ; "Level13"
13 ; "Level10"
14 ; "Level39"
15 ; "Level12"
16 ; "Level15"
17 ; "Level17"
18 ; "Level14"
19 ; "Level16"
20 ; "Level23"
21 ; "Level44"

2-1 ; "Level52"
2-2 ; "Level34"
2-3 ; "Level42"
2-4 ; "Level24"
2-5 ; "Level88"
2-6 ; "Level36"
2-7 ; "Level31"
2-8 ; "Level21"
2-9 ; "Level41"
2-10 ; "Level76"
2-11 ; "Level38"
2-12 ; "Level35"
2-13; "Level20"
2-14 ; "Level26"
2-15 ; "Level66"
2-16; "Level85"
2-17 ; "Level27"
2-18 ; "Level32"
2-19 ; "Level72"
2-20 ; "Level90"
2-21 ; "Level96"


There really not been that much interest in the new levels, so i cant be arsed setting up a new custom install with all the levels.

However if we do get enough interest from people and some feed back, especially on scores, so i can work out 2* and 3* levels. Then i will set up a new cusom pack install complete with a new settign files for custom levels so that each new level has its *scores

[gunni]

sorry not been on here in a wee bit.

has any one been using the custom levels since we got the upgrade.
(i havent bothered what with having designed and played them)

but i though some of the pieces id used had changed properties causing the levels to colapse to the ground.

is this not the case?

Yes. On some levels the things just follow the gravity.
Just installed the levelpack after some time.

[cgarvie]

yeah i got around to settin up custom levels again.
look like rovio fixed a bug i was using to hold up structure
i just need to replace the pieces i was using. with the corret piece

but as there not been much interest in new levels. just havent been bothered

[cgarvie]

Thanks for that. Its really appreciated to get some scores and feed back.
The * levels dont mean anything, as it depends what level you copy over. Other than Where ive listed what i think they should be.

The Pig and the Pendulum isnt to bad, just need 2 solid hits.
Well done of the 1bird Protective custody though


The reason part of structure stays in the Air is the ballons hold it up.
The same is true of N900 but baloons are so high you cant see them
there was no way to get the 9 to stay up otherwise.as the top part of the 9 has nothing to balance on.

which was your favourite. and what do you think i need to change to make ones you didnr like more fun?

[cgarvie]

Oh and id love to know how you did Bombs away in one bird. Im well impressed. Only managed it with 2 birds

[forcer]

I miss fortress in the serb's list ;(

EDIT:
First you have to download this file (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=547863&postcount=148). If you use Windows, then use WinRAR to unpack the file, no need to untar it after. If you've downloaded the file directly to your N900 you can also unpack it there.
Type in the following:root
cd /home/user/MyDocs/
tar xzvf custom-release.gz

Hi.. i bought angry birds for nokia n8.. i've finished the 5 levels.. ( 2 chapters ) and i'm looking for more levels..

does this custom levels work with my phone ? the angry bird version is 1.2.1

tks.

[forcer]

I'm afraid that you need at least 1.3.x to play those levels.

[marceleza]

Hi Forcer.

where can i find this version for nokia ? when i check my version through the phone, i got a message "You already have the newest version." .

Tks again.

[forcer]

I would need to change it heavily to be able to make levels on version 1.2.x, please bombard rovio to update the symbian version to 1.3.x

[stobbsc]

@cgarvie I think that if you create a new install file it will create more interest.

When we first start doing custom levels back Rovio was first asked if it was allowed, I wrote a tutoral about doing it and to this day it's read a lot on my blog.

I would love to do a follow up post about the editor and then with the installer too.

could you let me know if your installer still works or if you looking at a new one.
I will have a play over xmas with all the new custom levels and send feedback.

Cheers,
Chris

[stobbsc]

Ok I've named all the levels to fit with the old custom level installer, and it still works. The one thing that I have noticed is that packs2 and 3 get locked when you are in custom mode, but at least we can still play multiple customs at the same tiem :-) time for me to test them all now :-)

[waisun]

My first custom level! :-)
Please comment if it's too simple...

[forcer]

My first custom level! :-)
Please comment if it's too simple...

Cheers for that, its good to see someone else creating levels.

I quite liked it. Didnt take me too long to do, but was reasonably tricky

[famguy10]

be angry at me for putting in zipped folder but theyre too big to put in here if i dont, and plusim not that good with computers so plz convert it to whatever for me if you need to.levels are in order from when i made them.Enjoy!:D
[EDIT] hey guys when ever i put my levels in to angry birds i always get an error message, do you know what this means? and since ive attached my levels in here too can you see whats wrong. i put the error pic in the zip folder so can you tell me what this means?
