I know I asked Xky the other night, but I accidentally closed that window and lost all the information he'd given me. On top of that, I only had a starting point, when what an idiot like me needs is a list of patches for each individual level name. Looking around, I can't seem to find them anywhere. Any help would be appreciated!

Where's Border Village?

EDIT: Also, where's the text for "Exit to Shadowlands" as displayed on the "you're dead, what now" screen?

Whoops! Sorry about that--I fixed the 2nd post, to have Border and Slug Villages corrected. Here's your "You're dead!" screen info:
Code:

%patch $2F16F "You didn't make it past"
%patch $2F187 "Try Again"
%patch $2F191 "Exit to Shadowlands"

Really, though, this stuff is packed tight--I don't think you have -any- wiggle room here, as far as letters go. The "Exit to Shadowlands" statement is 19 characters long, including spaces; whatever you replace it with needs to be 19 characters or less, or you'll hit trouble. Good luck!

You know, all of those level names and entry text can be modified with the %level.name and %level.entry commands in CKPatch 0.9.0.

I'm sure these had been put into the patch index, but it seems they have dissappeared, pity I can't update it; I have about a hundred sprite patches to add. (And I'm not kidding, about 100 would be right.)

I hate to be off-topic and post private messages publically - but could you please check your email, levellass? I'd love to get your FTP account working again so that you can add new patches, but it's quite hard when I don't know exactly why you can't get access to it.

If needs must, I'm pretty sure I can find the reference for the 'Didn't make it past...' so you can use longer text strings.

The patch index has all level entry text added; Xky, you forgot to mention how much blank space is at the end of the level anmes/entry text, it's quite a lot!

Could I put this anywhere in my keenxe.pat file? I don't have much experience in patching, and I wonder if syntax would count there..

Congratulations, you just won the gravedig award.

I'll forgive you once. So here's my answer.

Put it just before the end tag. That shouldn't screw anything up.

And we now have a simple utility for changing level names, it even writes a patchfile!
