Distributing Levels

To install your level inside the HUD (and distribute it) you'll want to use the xMod level Installer that comes with the xMod unpacker. Note that if you want something visually appealing, you just need to drag the SceneInstaller script into the installer prim of your choosing.

Note: The SceneInstaller will auto update from the HUD when you rez the installer, make sure to wear your HUD!

Each level object placed in the installer needs to be accompanied by a notecard with the same name as the prim, plus .scene. For an example, if you have the level My Level, you need to add a notecard named exactly My Level.scene. It's case sensitive.

Level notecard

The level notecard is a simple config file where each row has a property, followed by a :, followed by the value. Ex: Name: My Awesome level. The property is not case sensitive.

Properties:

Property Name	Type	Optional	Description
Name	String	No	The full name of your level (doesn't have to match the object name)
Category	String	No	The category of your level (categories are shown in the browser, and are case sensitive). Common categories are "Wipeout" and "Ghost". You can make your own categories (see below).
LandImpact	Integer	No	Roughly the amount of land impact when the level is rezzed and started
MinPlayers	Integer	No	Min players that can play this map
MaxPlayers	Integer	No	Max players that can play this map

Categories

You can create and install custom categories with a category notecard.
