"Never before has evil come so close. . . . "
:Sir Steve Newton , 28 February 1996

The following pages will instruct you on how to edit and create your own vile and menacing levels of evil. Be warned, learning to create such hideous labyrinths' takes time, but much can stem from a level oozing with the glory of malevolence. Feel free to share your levels with other Witchaven2 owners, as you become a master dungeon creator.

The following instructions will teach you how to edit existing Witchaven 2 maps or, create new ones. To edit a preexisting map, type at the command prompt BUILD [level name] [ENTER]. To create a new map, type at the command prompt BUILD [ENTER].

There are 2 modes in the BUILD editor, the 3D EDIT MODE and the 2D EDIT MODE.

  The 3D EDIT MODE is similar to the Witchaven 2 play mode, except with a mouse cursor. The 3D mode allows you to change the attributes of walls, sectors and sprites. For a further explanation, refer to the 3D EDIT MODE section.

  The 2D EDIT MODE functions like a CAD program, enabling you to create walls and sectors inside the map. You will start with an overhead view of the map enabling you to place doors, monsters, items and weapons.

To switch between the two EDIT MODES, press [ENTER on the numeric keypad].

To Load, Save or Quit from the Level Editor, press [ESC] in the 2D MODE then press the appropriate key.

SAVING MAPS
If you wish to add a new map to the 15 that already exist, you must save it as LEVEL##. You may rename any of the 15 levels, just make sure that level15.map is the last number in the sequence. Also you can number levels up to LEVEL999; If you make sure to give every map set a unique sequence of level numbers (and have a batch file to correctly select the starting map number) it is possible for quite a few maps and sequenced sets to coexist.

PLAYING NEW MAPS
If you wish to play or test a map you just created, save it as: LEVEL#. The numbers must be greater than 15. When you want to play it, just type in WH2_MAP_## (_ signifies a space, # signifies the number). Remember that
you must also refer to the 2D & 3D EDIT MODE sections to fully understand how to create a map.

SCREEN SHOT
The key [F12] saves a .PCX screen shot. Use [SHIFT F12] to save the 2D Mode inversed; black background becomes white, white grid lines becomes black.

INFO ON CURRENT SECTOR
Use the [TAB] key to show detailed information about the current sector the cursor is in.

INFO ON CURRENT WALL OR SPRITE
Use [ALT TAB] keys to show detailed information about the current wall or sprite the cursor is on. *Note, to get around the Windows conflicting keys, select a sprite or wall and apply a temporary high tag to it with [ALT H], BUILD will then display the information in the status area.

The 2D mode is used to create or edit walls, floors and ceilings inside a level. These sectors can be used to create pits, stairs, doors, or anything imaginable item that is raised or lowered from a ceiling, wall or floor. Remember that you must also refer to the 3D EDIT MODE section to fully understand how to create a map.

MOUSE: This allows you to move around the orange cross hairs enabling you to create walls and sectors and to insert tags.

  LMB (left mouse button)
This button allows you to move sector points, insert points and move sprites. Hold down the (LMB) to move any object and release the button to drop the sector point or object.

  RMB (right mouse button)
This button allows you to move the 3D map arrow. The white arrow signifies the location and direction you will be placed inside the 3D EDIT MODE (when the [numeric ENTER key] is pressed). To move around freely on the map editor area, hold down the (RMB) while moving the cross hair.

MOVEMENT: The arrow keys will move the white arrow on the map in the appropriate direction. Holding the [SHIFT] Key will speed up your movement.

ZOOM: To zoom in and out in the 2D mode, press [A] or [Z] keys.

GRID RESOLUTION: To change the Grid Resolution, press [G]. It can be changed into 6 different sizes. Default size is Grid three. Grid points are places where horizontal and vertical lines meet. These grid points are used to place points evenly. The largest grid size is approximately equal to a 5 square foot area space. (64X,Ypixels point to point.)

GRID LOCKING: To turn Grid locking off (white cursor) so you can place a point or sprite off the grid, Use the [L] Key to turn it off. Then again to turn it back on (red cursor) when your completed with your off grid construction.

BLINKING LINE: A blinking line is the closest line to the cross hairs. This is used to signify that it is active and will receive a point or can be made into a circle. Also there is a little dot on the line that moves with the cross hair, it's useful for small jobs where you need to know exactly where your pointing.

The following section will describe how to create red and white sectors. A red sector is best described as an area consisting of red lines, that can be raised or lowered inside 3D mode. A white sector is best described as a white lined area, acting as solid walls that cannot be passed through. When building a map, remember that the outer walls of the map must always be white, confining the player to that map.

WHITE SECTORS: The [SPACE] places a point on the grid block closest to the cross hair. A white line will be made following the cross hair until another point is made by pressing [SPACE]. A sector can only be finished by connecting it to another point or the original point, but only after two points have been made. You may split another sector by connecting two points within that sector. The rules for building white sectors are as follows:

1) YOU MUST CREATE FROM THE OUTSIDE IN.
2) You must create a room first, then stairs, pillars and doors etc.
3) You cannot place a red sector around a pillar that is already inside a room. Create the red sector first, then create the white sector pillar inside the red sector.

CHANGING A WHITE SECTOR TO A RED SECTOR: A white sector can be changed into a red sector by placing the cross hair inside the desired sector and pressing [ALT S]. The sector will change to a red sector if it is not the outermost white sector on the map.

DELETING WHITE SECTORS: Large complex areas of white sectors can be deleted by placing the cross hairs inside the desired sector to be deleted and pressing [RIGHT CTRL DEL]. Be very careful, doing so can (at times) delete sectors attached and/or inside the sector you are deleting. Deleting many sectors at the same time; Select sectors with the [RIGHT ALT]. Then press [RIGHT CTRL DELETE] on any highlighted sector to delete all the selected sectors. This will of course delete Red Sectors as well.

RED SECTORS: After a white sector has been made, you can turn it into a red sector by placing the cross hair inside the desired sector and pressing [ALT S] Red sectors are different than white sectors since they can be raised and lowered inside the 3D mode. The rules for building red sectors are as follows:

1) YOU MUST CREATE FROM THE OUTSIDE IN.
2) The outer wall must be a white sector.
3) Red sectors are automatically made whenever you join two existing White sectors with a new line.

CHANGING A RED SECTOR TO A WHITE SECTOR: Any red sector can be made into a white sector by placing the cross hairs inside the desired sector and pressing [CTRL DEL].

BLOCKING RED SECTORS: You may make any wall of a red sector blocking. To do so, make sure the desired line is blinking and press [B]. The color of the line will change from red to purple. This will not allow a person or a character to walk pass this line. Whole sectors can become blocking by repeating this procedure. You may reverse a line to non-blocking by repeating the process again. [SHIFT B] Blocks only one side of a two-sided wall. This enables the player to walk through the wall in one direction only.

DELETING RED SECTORS: First change it to a White Sector with [CTRL DEL]. This will also delete the Tags placed in the sector. Next Drag the points of each line onto each other until it collapses to one point, this deletes it.

JOINING SECTORS: You may combine two sectors of the same color as long as they are touching. To do so, place the cross hair inside the desired sector you wish to keep and press [J]. Then place the cross hair inside the other sector and press [J] as well. The attributes (such as the wall tile, height and any tags) of the first sector will be transposed into the second one . Press [ESC] twice at any time to eliminate the joining feature if need be. Whole red sectors can be deleted in the same fashion, just remember that the first sector will copy its attributes into the second sector.

CREATING A POINT ON A LINE: To create a point on an existing line press [INSERT]. A point will be placed on the blinking line on the closest grid point. A point can be placed, then moved, by (holding down the LMB) and releasing it on the desired location. The rules for creating a point are as follows:

1) You can only create a point on a blinking line.
2) Points will only be placed on the closest grid point.
3) All points stick to the closest grid point.
4) Points are deleted when they meet.

DELETING A POINT: A point can be deleted by picking it up (holding the LMB) and moving it over another point and releasing the (LMB). If you are making a white sector, use [BACKSPACE] to delete the last point already plotted before the sector is finished. You may delete lines, walls and sectors by doing this continuously.

GROUP CUT AND MOVE: This is great for separating sectors from each other and perhaps join them some place else. You can completely surround any sector you wish to pluck. Once selected, you can drag the mess of sectors with the mouse to where you want them. To do so, hold down the [RIGHT ALT] key and drag the mouse, a green box will form, release [RIGHT ALT]. Now drag away the sectors. Once you have done a sector select, you can also press the [<] or [>] keys to rotate the selected sectors. Hold down the [SHIFT <] or [SHIFT >] keys to get fine angle rotation. If your going to move and join sectors make sure you already have matching points on the destination wall sector. You may preview how the joining sectors look before stamping the sector by going into 3D Mode with the [NUMERIC ENTER] key and looking around. When finished moving, rotating and previewing, in 2D Mode press the [RIGHT ALT] key again to stamp the sectors.

GROUP DRAG: By holding down the [RIGHT SHIFT] a purple box will move with the cross hair. Use the box to highlight the points you wish to group drag for easy movement. The points collected inside a group drag will be blinking, and can all be moved by moving any one of the points. Once the group drag move is finished, press [RIGHT SHIFT] again to deactivate.

GROUP DRAG BY POINTS: This will allow you to highlight points on a loop. Move the mouse cross hair to one of the lines of the sector and use [CTRL RIGHT SHIFT] this will highlight the points on a loop. The points collected will be blinking. You may now move the sector freely with the (LMB). Once the group drag move is finished, press [RIGHT SHIFT] to deactivate.

SPLITTING SECTORS: Sectors can be split by connecting to points between the two sectors. If there are no points, place the cross hair over the desired line of the sector and press [INSERT]. Do the same for the other sector, then place the cross hair on one of the points, press [SPACEBAR]. Move the cross hair to the other point and press [SPACEBAR] to split the sector.

CREATING CIRCLES: To create a circle, place the cross hair near the desired wall so that it blinks. Press [C] and a small + will appear along with yellow points representing the circle. You may add or delete points with the [Numeric +] or [Numeric -] keys. You may move the + with the cross hair. Once the desired size, shape and amount of points are correct, press [SPACE] to finish the half circle. Repeat this process to the other side of the wall to make a complete circle. You may cancel the creation of a circle by pressing [C] again. To create a separate circle sector, follow the steps below:
 

1) Create a triangle.
2) Place the cross hair near the long perpendicular line so that it blinks and press [C], then adjust the circle and press [SPACE].
3) Pick up and drag the farthest point and drop it to make a half circle.
4) Make another half circle with the last long line to complete the full circle.

Sprites are one tile items that can be in the form of creatures, pull chains, potions, items and almost any tile available inside the art file. You may do the following functions to sprites in 2D mode as long as the cross hair is directly on top of the sprite or the area you wish to place the sprite. Refer to PLACING SPRITES IN 3D MODE for more detail.

PLACING A SPRITE
[S] Placing a sprite. Once a sprite is placed, the stick pointing out from the round dot indicates the sprite’s direction.

DELETE A SPRITE
[DEL] Deleting a sprite.

ROTATING A SPRITE
<> Rotating a sprite. Hold [SHIFT] to fine rotate 1 degree at a time. The direction of a sprite is important when placing creatures or pull chains since it should always face the player, especially when they are flush against the wall.

BLOCKING A SPRITE
[B] Repetitively to make it blocking or non-blocking. A Blue sprite is non-blocking, purple is blocking.

HITSCAN A SPRITE
[CTRL H] key toggles Hitscan; The sprite will let projectiles hit it, blocking it from passing threw, even if it doesn't block the player. In 2D Mode the sprite stick will be double the thickness to indicate this.

TAG A SPRITE
[ALT T] Place a low tag on a sprite (only certain sprites can be tagged).
[ALT H] Place a high tag on a sprite (only certain sprites can be tagged).

COPY A SPRITE: Method: 2D Mode Window. Coping sprites alone if fairly easy. When you copy and paste the sprite it will also copy the sprites size, shading, hitag, lotag and height.
1) Go into 2D mode and move the mouse crosshair just above and to the left of the sprite or group of sprites you want to be copied.
2) Press down the [RIGHT SHIFT] key and hold it as you drag the window with the mouse over the sprite to surround it. Be sure your not highlighting any vertices or they will get dragged. Now release the [RIGHT SHIFT] key, the sprite is now ready to be pasted somewhere else.
3) Once you have the sprite or group of sprites copied into memory, press the [INSERT] key. This will paste the sprite one time, stacking it under the original sprite. Keep using the [INSERT] until you have all the sprite you want. Then drag each sprite off of the other to a location you want.

Tags are numbers assigned to red sectors and/or sprites that make the tagged red sector perform a specific task such as open door, lower/raise a wall, trigger a trap etc.. There are two types of tags each described below, low tags and high tags. A tagged sector or sprite will have numbers in the middle of the red sector or on the sprite. The first number represents the high tag, the second is the low tag.

TAG A WALL: Move the crosshair over or near the wall to be tagged. Use the [ALT T] keys to place a low tag on a wall. Use the [ALT H] keys to place a high tag on a wall.

LOW TAGS: A low tag forces the red sector or sprite to perform a specific function. To assign a tag, place the cross hair inside the desired red sector and press [T]. Enter one of the numbers below to assign a function to the red sector you are tagging. Moving sectors will operate only once when triggered and will stay in the final position.


  Moving Red Sector Low Tags
Requires a pull chain or a Red Sector floor plate to trigger movement. (for Low Tag XXYY, YY tells the game how many groups of pixels to move the floor/ceiling). (Each group is 4 pixels):

1101-1199 Lower Floor any amount 11## groups down.
1201-1299 Raise Floor any amount 12## groups up.
1301-1399 Lower Ceiling any amount 13## groups down.
1401-1499 Raise Ceiling any amount 14## groups up.
1501-1599 Lower Floor and Ceiling both any amount 15## groups down.
1601-1699 Raise Floor and Ceiling both any amount 16## groups up.
 

  Complex Doors With Keys
To create a door, low tag a red sector with a 6,7 or 8 according to the type of door you desire. If you wish to make it a locked door, follow the door number with a 1,2,3 or 4 according to the desired key color. A splitting door locked with a black key will be low tagged 82. A door low tagged with a single digit number (6-8) will function every time a player presses [SPACE] unless it is locked or linked with a high tag (see HIGH TAGS for more info).

SPRITE TRAP LOW TAGS: A low tag on certain sprites will make the sprite perform a specific task. To assign a low tag to a sprite, place the cross hair over the sprite and press [ALT T]. The following is a list of low tag traps for sprites and the specific tile numbers that can use a low tag. (Note: Traps with a pull chain does not function in WH2 v2.0c or v2.0g, however in EGwhaven they finally work.)

Once a trap low tag is assigned to a sprite, make sure that the stick portion of the sprite is pointing in the direction you wish the projectile to travel. Please refer to the 3D MODE SPRITES for more information on how to place a sprite.

ACTIVATING SECTORS: In order for any moving sector, trap or door to function, it needs an activating sector, along with a corresponding high tag number, to make it operate. An activating sector is a low tag with a number 1. An active sector is a red or white sector on the ground acting as a pressure plate that will trigger a trap, door, or a moving sector to function properly. The activating sector is low tagged with a number 1 (one) Indicates ACTIVATE or 2 (two) Indicates ACTIVATE ONCE. It must also have a high tag corresponding to the same high tag number of the trap, door or moving sector. Please refer to the EXAMPLE.MAP for an example of activating sectors. The rules for creating an activating sector are as follows:

1) The sector created must be a red sector (or white sector) on the floor in a place where the player will step on it for it to function.
2) The activating sector must be low tagged with a 1 (one) or 2 (two) Indicates ACTIVATE ONCE.
3) The activating sector must have a high tag number (that you create) corresponding to the door, trap and/or moving sector.
4) More than one activating sector can be placed for any item that it will activate and vice versa.
5) An active sector will trigger the linked item every time it is stepped on. Items such as doors and traps will function every time the active sector is stepped on unless low tagged with 2, in which it will only function once.

Please refer to the HIGH TAG section to understand how activating sectors work along with high tags.

ACTIVATING SPRITES: An activating sprite is a pull chain placed on a wall that can be pulled by the player (using the spacebar) to activate a sector, open a door and/or trap. The sprite being placed must be one of the two sprites that act as pull chains (tile number 370 and 539), Breaking Glass can also be used as a switch. Once the correct tile number is selected, place the cross hair over the sprite and press [ALT T] and enter 1 (one) for the low tag number pressing [ENTER] when finished. You must also give the activating sprite a high tag number that is the same as the moving sector, trap and/or door high tag. Do this by placing the cross hair over the sprite and press [ALT H] and create a number from 1 to 999 that corresponds to the moving sector, trap and/or door. See HIGH TAGS for more information. The rules for placing an activating sprite are as follows:

1) A sprite must be placed facing away from the wall, blocking, non rotating flush against a wall.
2) The sprite must have a low tag of 1 and a high tag that corresponds with the item(s) it will activate.
3) The activating sprite must be a tile numbered 370 or 539, the pull chains. Breaking Stained Glass works too.
4) Activating sprites can only be used once. A pull chain can never be pulled or used twice.

HIGH TAGS: A high tag is a number that you create that is identical to the activating sector and the item it will activate (door, trap, or moving sector). Think of a high tag as a link between the activating sector and the functioning item. The activating sector will trigger the link to activate a door, trap, or moving sector. You may have one floor trigger or pull chain activating many items. There is no limit to the number of items to which an activating sector and a high tag can be linked. You may also have many activating sectors or sprites linked to one item. The rules for using high tags are as follows:

1) A door (low tags 6-8), once high tagged, can only be opened by an activating sector or pull chain. A door requiring a key cannot have a high tag.
2) Remember that doors and traps will function every time an activating sector is stepped on or only once when a pull chain is used.
3) More than one activating sector and/or pull chain can activate something and more than one trap, door and/or moving sector can be linked to a single high tag-activating sector or sprite.

Please refer to the CREATING SPECIFICS section for examples of using Tags.

WARPING SECTORS: There are two different types of warping sectors, sector-to-sector warps (inside the same map) and level-to-level warps (ending one level to start another).

  SECTOR-TO-SECTOR WARPING (TELEPORTER)
Sector-to-sector warping consists of two red sector squares (preferably one square in size of the largest grid resolution) placed on the same map having a low tag of 10 and identical high tag numbers. In Game the sector will glow to indicate that its a Teleporter.

  ONE WAY SECTOR-TO-SECTOR WARPING
A one way sector-to-sector warp is made with two red sector squares as well. The only difference is the low tag on the receiving it 14 and the low tag of the sending sector is 10. Place an identical high tag on both of the sectors as well.

  LEVEL-TO-LEVEL WARPING (WARP TO NEW LEVEL)
A level-to-level warping sector is made with a red sector square, a low tag of 4002 and a high tag of 1. Make sure that a pentagram sprite is placed somewhere on the map since it is essentially a key that activates the level-to-level warping sector. A transparent non-blocking pentagram sprite should be placed on the level-to-level warping sector just created to make the player aware of the level warping sector.

STARTING POINT: Each map created needs to have a starting point inside one of the rooms. Place the white arrow on the desired place you wish to make the starting points and press [SCROLL LOCK]. An orange stationary arrow will signify your starting location whenever the map is played as a game level. Every time you press [SCROLL LOCK] the orange arrow will disappear and reappear in the new location. Make sure its in a valid position (inside a sector) or the game will crash when the map is loaded. *There is a bug in the BUILD Editor that changes your starting point once you go into 3D Mode and modify something and you return to 2D Mode you'll see that the starting point changed.*

PLAYING NEW LEVELS: If you wish to play or test a map you just created save it as: LEVEL#. The numbers must be greater than 15. When you want to play it, just type in WH2_MAP_## (_ signifies a space, # signifies the number).

The 3D mode is used to move and manipulate walls, sprites and sectors inside a level. 3D mode is very similar to game-playing mode except that none of the sprites (enemies or objects) move and you have the ability to control your height in terms of floating and hovering. Most of your detailed level designing will occur inside the 3D mode. Keep in mind that you will often have to switch between 2D and 3D mode to create the perfect item in a room, let alone a whole room.

ARROWS: The arrow keys will move you in the appropriate direction inside the 3D mode. Holding the [SHIFT] Key will speed up your movement.

VERTICAL CONTROL MODE: There are three different types of vertical control modes available. Every time the [CAPS LOCK] is pressed, it will toggle you between one of the three different modes of vertical control. Remember that every time you enter into 3D mode, you will always start in mode 1 until [CAPS LOCK] is pressed, switching you to mode 2, then to mode 3 and back to mode 1.

  MODE 1: This mode is almost like the game mode, allowing you to walk at the normal eye level, under and over any red sector area. This is the easiest mode to use while manipulating most of the objects and it is also the default mode.

  MODE 2: This is the height lock mode, keeping you at the same height above the ground no matter how high or low some red sectors are.

  MODE 3: This is the float mode that allows you to “hover” in the air and move with no vertical movement unless you adjust it. This is the best mode to manipulate any tall object or sectors on the ceiling.

VERTICAL MOVEMENT: Using the [A] and [Z] keys allows you to move up or down inside any of the three vertical modes.

VERTICAL VIEWING: Holding down [CTRL] and using [A] and [Z] allows you to tilt your view looking up or down with no horizontal or vertical movement.

MOUSE: Movement with the mouse controls the white cross hair. The white cross hair always points to the item that is being controlled. The sector under control can be raised or lowered, moved or fitted with different artwork. The mouse will be used with many different keys allowing you to manipulate the environment inside 3D mode.

LOCKING SECTORS: Holding down the Left Mouse Button (LMB) allows you to lock a sector at which the cross hair is pointing to so the sector can be moved up or down, even though the cross hair is no longer pointing at it. This is extremely important when moving sectors out of sight, knowing, they are still under your control.

RAISING OR LOWERING SECTORS: Use the [PAGEUP] or [PAGEDOWN] keys to move a red sector up or down. Remember that the sector being moved needs to be either pointed at with the cross hair or locked with the (LMB) before being moved. Each press of the key is 4 pixels (?? Feet or ?? inches). Each pixel would be ?? FT. (or ?? inches)

GROUP SECTOR MOVE UP / DOWN: This will let you move a whole section of a board up / down quickly. First you select a bunch of sectors with the [RIGHT ALT] key in 2D mode. Then switch to 3D mode and if you press [PAGEUP] or [PAGEDOWN] on any of the highlighted sectors, the rest of the highlighted sectors will move also.

DIMENSIONS: Each time the [PAGEUP] or [PAGEDOWN] is pressed a sector is raised or lowered by 4 pixels. It takes 16 key presses (64 Zpixels) to make a full tile. A full tile is about equal to approximately a 5 square foot area in real space. Remember this measurement when building in 3D mode. Create most of the rooms at least 20-24 key presses (80-96 Zpixels) high so the creatures (sprites) can move about freely and so that everything is in proportion to real size. Artwork on some tiles larger than 16 key presses (64 Zpixels) in size will look distorted and not in proportion, so keep this in mind when building. Note: The player character is just about 17 key presses tall.

SWITCHING BETWEEN 2D & 3D MODES: Use the [NUMERIC ENTER] key to switch between 2D and 3D modes.

TILE ARTWORK: The default tile used on a newboard is always the red square with a yellow circle. With this tile, it is easy to see the pixels of height (64 pixels), allowing you to build evenly. A good suggestion is to build a level using the red and yellow tile exclusively, then changing the tiles once a majority of the area has been manipulated. To change the artwork on any given tile press [V]. The first page will show what tiles have been currently used on the map. Use the arrow keys to move the white box around so that it highlights the desired tile you wish to choose. If the tile is not shown (it probably has not been used), press [V] again to display all of the tiles available. You may also use the [PAGEUP] or [PAGEDOWN] keys to move through a whole screen or artwork. To make the view size larger or smaller on the tile selection screen, use the [NUMERIC /] or [NUMERIC *]. Keep in mind that the tile being highlighted is the starting point for entire page of artwork. Use the arrow keys to move the highlight box and press [ENTER] to select the desired tile to place in 3D mode. The rules for placing tiles in 3D mode are as follows:

1) Have the cross hair pointing to the desired sector you wish to place the artwork on before pressing [V].
2) It is faster to move around the artwork area if you know the location of the desired artwork and highlight a tile that is close to the art you desire, before pressing [V] for the second time.
3) Some tiles are not meant to be placed as artwork on sectors. Any artwork in the form of a person, object or creature should not be placed on a sector. This type of artwork usually has a bright red background and is meant to be placed as artwork for a sprite since the bright red area will become transparent in the game.

GET TILE QUICKLY: While changing the tile, if you know the number of the tile you want, Press the [G] Key and enter the number ([BACKSPACE] to delete the number showing first) of the tile you wish to use and press [ENTER].

SLIDING ARTWORK: If you wish to slide the art of a tile up, down, left or right to align it to another tile in another sector, place the cross hair on it and press one of the [SHIFT numeric 2,4,6 or 8]. The [NUMERIC 5] Key speeds up the sliding, every eighth panning value. The [/] key resets the panning values to 0.

SHRINKING OR STRETCHING ARTWORK: A tile on a wall or sprite can be stretched or shrunk by pointing to it with the cross hair and pressing the [NUMERIC 2,4,6 or 8] keys. The [NUMERIC 5] Key speeds up shrink and stretch, every eighth panning value. The [/] key resets the stretching values to default. For the ceiling or floor these keys just slide the texture, enabling you to align it accurately. The textures on a ceiling or floor can only be resized using [E].

AUTO ALIGNING TILES: You may align many sector walls with the same tile all at once by pointing to the left most sector with the cross hair and pressing the period key [>]. This is useful when you have many divided walls or when making windows.

RESET TILE ARTWORK: You may reset the size of the artwork on a tile or sprite by using slash [/] on the desired tile. If you hold down [SHIFT /] on a sprite, it will give the sprite a square aspect ratio.

FLIP ARTWORK: You may flip the artwork on a tile or sprite by pressing [F].  Repeatedly hitting the [F] Key you can flip a floor or ceiling eight different ways. Walls and Sprites can only be flipped four ways.

ARTWORK ORIENTATION: Artwork Orientation is important if you wish to have the artwork start at the top of a sector or at the bottom of a sector. This is important if the sector raises or falls since the artwork will not move with the tile once it is activated. Place the cross hair on the desired tile you wish to orient and press the oh [O] Key.

ENLARGE TILE: Toggles the tile size of floors and ceilings between normal and enlarged. To Expand the artwork on a tile, place the cross hair on it and press [E]. Press [E] again to reverse the process to default size.

ARTWORK RELATIVE ALIGNMENT: To change the Relative artwork alignment on a tile (floor/ceiling) or sprite, press [R] consecutively. It will change from relative to normal. Textures will then rotate and pan with moving sectors properly. This will align to the first wall in the sector. To change a sector's first wall go to 2D Mode and press [ALT F] on the wall which is to be assigned the first wall.


SHADING TILES: Press [numeric key pad + or -] continuously to shade a tile.

AUTO SHADING: Make one of the walls the lighter shade you want and another one with the darker shade you want. Move the cursor over the lightest wall and press [CTRL SHIFT ENTER] Now all walls in between will be smoothly shaded. If they are not smoothly shaded, you may need to insert more points on the walls.

GROUP SECTOR SHADING: This will let you shade a whole section of a board quickly. First you select a bunch of sectors with the [RIGHT ALT] key in 2D mode. Then switch to 3D mode and if you press [NUMERIC +] or [NUMERIC -] on any of the highlighted sectors wall, floor or ceiling and the rest of the highlighted sectors will shade also.

VISIBILITY OF THE CURRENT SECTOR: [ALT NUMERIC + -] keys changes the visibility of the current sector, the sector the cursor is pointing at. (how fast it darkens with distance). [ALT SHIFT NUMERIC + -] changes visibility in finer steps. Darker shading will intensify this as will the games own diminishing lighting for distant walls. Use with care.

VISIBILITY OF THE ENGINE: [ALT CTRL NUMERIC + -] keys changes the build engine editors built-in default visibility, its own diminishing lighting. This does NOT save with the map. I would say it's only useful to try to match the games own default visibility, since the editor visibility is not as "dark" as the games. (this needs to be fixed so the game and editor use the same visibility) It ranges from 5 (darkest) to 17 (lightest) and it starts at 13.

COPY ATTRIBUTES: If you wish to copy and paste attributes of one tile to another (ie. size, block, 1-way wall, orientation, artwork, x-flipping, shading etc.), Note: The copy [TAB] function in BUILD doesn't copy masked walls attributes. Place the cross hair on the desired tile and press [TAB]. This will copy the attributes in a buffer allowing you to paste them.

PASTE ATTRIBUTES: To paste the attributes just copied (see above) move the cross hair to the desired location and press [ENTER].

MASS PASTE: To paste the attributes from the tab buffer on an entire sector of walls that are connecting, press the [RIGHT CTRL ENTER] together. Use this to change the appearance of a whole room at once.

SHADE PASTE: To paste only the shade of a tile to another, copy the desired tile with [TAB] and press [SHIFT ENTER] to paste the shade only.

MASS REPLACE: Changes all tiles on the whole map from the tile in the tab buffer. To use, move the mouse cross hair over the tile you want to copy and press the [TAB] Key. Next point the mouse cross hair at the tile type you want to replace through out the map. Then press the [LEFT ALT C]. All tiles will be replaced on the entire map from the tab buffer.

PARALLAXING SKY: To make a sky (or floor) tile appear to look like an outdoor scene (ie: the sky stays stationary as the player moves), point to the ceiling tile that is a sky and press [P], press again to undo. [CTRL ENTER] will paste parallaxing sky tiles to all neighboring parallaxing sky areas. The rules for making a sky tile parallaxing are as follows:

1) Only a ceiling tile may be parallaxed.
2) Only a sky tile may be parallaxed (refer to tile listing).
3) If there is more than one consecutive (touching) red sector on the ceiling that are going to be a parallaxed sky tile, make sure that they are all equal in height. Make them equal in height before placing the parallaxed sky tile on them.

MASKED WALLS: Masked Walls allow you to place a tile in an opening in the wall rather than using a sprite. This allows up to three tiles to be placed on a wall. This useful for creating two sided water falls as seen in WH1 Level1 or hidden areas.

Masked walls can be created only on a single red double sided wall as seen in 2D Mode. Masked walls have two modifiable sides. To create a masked wall, start in 3D mode and choose a red wall. To make a masked wall, you must first point the cursor at the floor or ceiling near where the wall is dividing the sector or on an existing wall above or below (if you have a step) and press the [M] Key. The masking wall takes all its attributes from the front of the wall to the back. Also, the tile from the front is also automatically added the the other side of the wall, with the tile flipped.

HITSCAN WALLS: Toggle hitscan pass through bit. Default is pass through on a red wall. You can press [H] to toggle the bit. If hitscan is set to not-go through a maskable wall, the wall will appear as a double thick red line in 2D edit mode.

ONE SIDED WALLS: Make a 1-sided wall but only possible on a two-sided line, Press the [1] Key on the wall to create a wall which only has a texture on one side. Creatures can see through this wall, attacking you and walking through the wall.

TWO SPLIT WALL TILES: Some walls have two different sections. One step on the ceiling and one step on the floor. Normally they always have the same attributes. It is possible though, to give both the top and bottom different attributes by pressing the [2] Key on the top or bottom wall. Makes the two halved wall's attributes separately modifiable, like for different upper and lower textures. Pressing the [2] Key again on the walls will make them one again.

Angles can be created only on red sector areas. Angles can be raised or lowered from the ceiling or floor. To create an angle, start in 2D mode and choose a red sector you wish to angle. To make an angle, you must first choose a pivot point. A pivot point is the line that will act as a hinge as the sector is raised or lowered in the 3D mode to create the angle. To choose a pivot point, make the desired line blinking by placing the cross hair near the line and press [ALT F]. A statement will appear, “This wall now sector’s first wall”. Switch to 3D mode to raise or lower the angle. Place your cross hair on the sector, and press the [ or ] keys to raise and lower the angle accordingly. You can hold down the (LMB) if the angle goes out of sight, but do it before it does. Use [RIGHT SHIFT] to fine adjust an angle along with the [ or ] keys. Use [LEFT SHIFT] to very fine adjust an angle along with the [ or ] keys. Using [ALT] and [ or ] keys auto matches the slope with the sector next to it. Use the slash [/] Key to revert the angle to its original flat form. The rules for creating angles are as follows:

1) The pivot point must be the lowest point if an angle comes from a sector on the floor. You might have to raise an angle and then raise or lower the sector using the [ ] keys to make sure that the pivot point is the lowest point on the floor.
2) White sectors can also be anglized in the same manner as a red sector as long as they are part of the playing area.
3) A sector on the floor and a sector on the ceiling do not have to share the same pivot point. To change pivot points, create a floor or ceiling angle first, then complete the other angle separately.
4) Angles can become moving sectors as long as they are tagged accordingly.
5) Avoid angles over 40 degrees on the floor if they can be walked upon. This is to avoid areas that could slow down gameplay.
6) Whenever a new tile is copied and pasted onto an already angled tile, it will lose its angled appearance and will have to be done over. Also, whenever the [/] key is pressed, the angle will revert back to its original flat form.

 Once a sprite is placed, they can be moved vertically, rotated, change with other artwork, and placed flush with a wall in 3D mode. Please refer to the 2D mode as well as 3D mode for placement and the many uses for sprites.

PLACING A SPRITE: Sprites can be placed inside 2D or 3D mode by pointing to the desired location with the cross hair and pressing [S]. Only in 3D mode, by pressing [TAB] on the sprite makes it the default sprite to place.

RAISING LOWER A SPRITE: Sprites can be moved in the same way red sectors are raised and lowered by using [PAGEUP] and [PAGEDOWN] keys. Use [CTRL PAGEUP] or [CTRL PAGEDOWN] to move a sprite to the ceiling or floor. The [C] Key; While in 3D Mode, Centers a Sprite to room or rest its base on the floor.

SPRITE ARTWORK: Once a sprite is placed you can change the artwork in the same manner as a wall tile by pointing to it with the cross hair and pressing [V]. Refer to the SPRITE AND TILE NUMBERS section for details on the different artwork associated with magical items, creatures and humanoid fighters.

SPRITE RELATIVE ALIGNMENT: There are three different ways a sprite can be aligned either rotating, flat, or parallel to the floor. To change between the three different relative alignments, press [R] consecutively.

  ROTATING SPRITES
A rotating sprite is a sprite that will always have the artwork facing the player. Whenever a sprite is placed (not copied), its default is a rotating sprite. All enemies should be placed as rotating sprites to avoid any wafer thin enemies from roaming the dungeons. When using a rotating sprite that is not a moving item (ie: treasure), make sure that the sprite is not located too close to a wall or a moving sector to avoid any sprite clipping (sprites cut in half) problems. When enemies are placed, the stick of the sprite (seen only in 2D mode) needs to be facing forward so the sprite can see the player and react accordingly.

  FLAT SPRITES
Flat sprite alignment is the second selection. Flat alignment allows you to place sprites that should not follow a character such as pull chains, bas-reliefs, stained glass, wall rugs etc. Flat alignment allows you to place a sprite flush to a wall by placing the cross hair on it and pressing the oh [O] key.

Before doing so, make sure that the sprite is facing away from the wall (viewable only in 2D mode). You can also rotate the alignment of a flat sprite by using <> accordingly.

  FLOOR SPRITES
Floor sprites is the third alignment that places the sprite parallel to the floor. Only a few sprites can be changed to this setting without being distorted in appearance such as a bridge tile, stained glass etc.

ONE SIDED SPRITES: Make a 1-sided sprite but only possible on a Flat or Floor sprites, Press the [1] Key on the sprite to create a sprite which only has a texture on one side. (When placed on a wall by pointing at the wall and pressing the [S] Key, they automatically become 1-sided and blocking off for optimal performance.)

FLIP SPRITE: You may flip the sprite by pressing [F]. Repeatedly hitting the [F] Key you can flip a sprite four different ways. Each time is 90 Degrees clockwise.

TRANSPARENT SPRITES: There are three levels of transparency for a sprite. The first is none and is the default of every placed sprite. The second is limited transparency and the third is a very transparent sprite. Use [T] to change between one of the three different modes. Items such as the pentagram and stained glass can be transparent.

SHADING SPRITES: To shade sprites press [numeric key pad + or -] continuously to shade a sprite. If you leave the sprites shade at default, the sprite's shade will take on the floor's shading value of the current sector.

HITSCAN SPRITES: The [H] key toggles Hitscan; The sprite will block projectiles even if it doesn't block the player. In 2D Mode the sprite stick will be double the thickness to indicate this.

CLIPPING FATNESS: Lets you enter a custom value that overrides the games default. The size of the movement clipping square of an object. Works on Rotating sprites, sprites that follow the player. If clipdist is set to 32, then the clipping radius is actually 128. The default walldist is 128. It could be used as additional information too, you don't need to change the value. clipdist is normally based on the tile's x size and sprite's xrepeat at map load. Use [ALT D] to read and/or change the value. (allows a range from 0-1020).

COPY A SPRITE: Method: 3D Mode Buffer. Coping sprites alone if fairly easy. When you copy and paste the sprite it will also copy the sprites size, shading, hitag, lotag and height. This method will not save the direction.
1) Go into 3D mode and move the mouse crosshair onto the sprite you want to copy.
2) Press the [TAB] key to place a copy of the sprite into the BUILD buffer.
3) Now you can either stay in 3D Mode and point your mouse pointer on the floor and hit the [S] key to paste a copied sprite or you also can opt to go into 2D mode and place the sprites where you want with the [S] key.

The rules for placing, editing and moving sprites are as follows:

1) A sprite can be placed in 2D or 3D mode.
2) A sprite can only be changed to blocking or non-blocking inside the 2D mode.
3) Any item that is picked up (ie: treasure, items and spells) must be placed as non-blocking sprites.
4) Any enemy placed must be a blocking sprite.
5) More than one sprite can be placed on top of each other and moved.
6) Sprites can only receive high and low tags inside 2D mode.
7) Sprites are moved in the same manner as red sectors using the same key commands.
8) Sprites should not be placed on moving sectors since they will not stay with the moving sector.
9) Use the 2D mode to see which way the sprite is facing.
10) Refer to the SPRITE AND TILE NUMBER section to place animated sprites and special tiles.

Tiles and sprites can be set to their own palette by pointing the mouse cross hair at them in 3D Mode and pressing [ALT P] keys. You can also set the floor and ceiling pal with the [P] Key in 2d Mode. Other than coloring a sprite, some palettes effects a creatures behavior, see the SPRITE & TILE NUMBERS for more info.

The following is a list of sprite and tile numbers. The sprite or tile number refers to the exact piece of artwork that needs to be placed for that specific item. Many sprites are animated and must have the first frame used as the artwork for the sprite in order to function properly. To change the artwork on any given tile or sprite press [V]. The first page will show what tiles have been currently used on the map. Use the arrow keys to move the white box around so that it highlights the desired tile you wish to choose. If the tile is not shown (it probably has not been used), press [V] again to display all of the tiles available. To Get a tile quickly, Press the [G] Key and enter the number (backspace to delete the number showing first) of the tile you wish to use from the list below and press [ENTER]. To make the view size larger or smaller on the tile selection screen, use the [NUMERIC /] or [NUMERIC *].

All items that can be picked up need to be placed as non-blocking sprites. Use the [B] Key to turn Blocking OFF (Blue Sprite in 2D Mode)

Note: Many sprites in the game may seem oversized in the editor, but come play time the games hard code will automatically resize the sprite, such as Creatures/Enemies and Items/Pick-ups. Also many sprites/tiles and tags come with there own hard coded sound effects.

ACTIVATED SPRITES
The following can be triggered by floor sector or pull chain (EGwhaven) activation. High Tag is custom and equal to activating sector or chain.

WH2 Sound List for use with SNDEFFECT Tile 2368 to play a sound once.
WH1 uses looping sounds with...for SNDLOOP ambience sprite Tile 2369 : This is a feature that's introduced in WH1 and is disabled in WH2. To SNDLOOPOFF (End Loop) use Tile 2370.

This section is available to you to guide you in creating special constructions with step by step instructions. Please load up the EXAMPLE.MAP and EXAMPLE2.MAP for demonstrations and viewing of these effects.

RISING DOOR ROOM:
The following is an example of a room with a rising door (tag 1,6) that can only be opened by the active trigger sector in front of the door (tagged 1,1). To finish it off as the player walks through the door, it will close automatically when they step on the sector that follows the door (tagged 1,1). This room is called EXAMPLE.MAP and can be viewed by loading it.

A BASIC DOOR (Dropping or Raising):
This type of door is seen in WH1 a lot, and the player must open and close it with the spacebar. These types of doors rise or drop.

1- In 2D Mode create a room with a short doorway.
2- Join the first two points together with a red line.
3- Now join the second two points together with a red line.
4- Move the cursor in that new doorway sector and give it a Low Tag of 6 to raise door or 7 to drop door and a High Tag 0. A High Tag of 1 will just lock the door and the player will grunt when trying to open it.
5- Go into 3D Mode and texture the base (or top) of the door using the [V] Key.
6- Now texture the doorframe if you choose too on each side.
7- Move the cursor over the wall of the doorframe and press the oh [O] Key. Do this for the other side as well.
8- Next lower (or raise) the door with [PAGEDOWN] so you can texture the front and backs of the door itself.
9- You want to leave the completed door in the closed position for when the game loads.

A HORIZONTAL SPLITTING DOOR:
This type of door is made something like the BASIC DOOR, but separates in the middle.

1- In 2D Mode create a room with a short doorway.
2- Join the first two points together with a red line.
3- Now join the second two points together with a red line.
4- Move the cursor in that new doorway sector and give it a Low Tag of 8 and a High Tag 0. A High Tag of 1 will just lock the door and the player will grunt when trying to open it.
5- Go into 3D Mode and texture the base and top of the door using the [V] Key.
6- Now texture the doorframe if you choose too on each side.
7- Move the cursor over the wall of the doorframe and press the oh [O] Key. Do this for the other side as well.
8- Next lower and raise the door with [PAGEDOWN] and [PAGEUP] to meet in the center. This will allow you to texture the front and backs of the door itself.
9- You want to leave the completed door in the closed position (top and bottom meet in center) for when the game loads.

SWINGING DOORS:
Swinging doors are one of the hardest to make but the most realistic. This door is seen in WH2 Level 4. Use the following diagram and steps to make a single swinging door or double swinging door. (double not shown, see WH2L4 or load up the EXAMPLE.MAP and it can be viewed.)

1) Place two points on a white sector line with the [INSERT] Key.
2) Drag Point#2 in front of Point#1.
3) Keep inserting and placing three more points on the same white line to the left of Point#2.
4) Make the points in the shape of a door by dragging them.
5) Move Point#5 on top of Point#1 (these two points will not connect because they are white sector lines). Place the cross hair on the short line between Point#2 and Point#1&5 so that the white line blinks. Place a low tag 4 on the blinking line by pressing [ALT T] and enter 4. (This will be the hinge side)
6) Move Points 2, 3, and 4 so they are on the original rooms white line. Place the cross hair on the sector after the door and low tag it 13 and high tag it 1. (This room is where the door opens into) Create a small red sector before the door as the floor trigger. Low tag it 1 and high tag it 1.

A SPLIT POCKET DOOR (BOX DOOR):
This is probably the hardest door to make, but looks exceptional. This is first seen in WH1Level3. You can find a fairly unique construction of this door in WH1Level7. With sector low tag 0,16. The two inner walls of the door are tagged 0,6. I built this door on Grid 3, you may want to build it on Grid 4 or 5 after you learned how to build it.

1) Draw your room and insert four points. Next connect points A and B, then D and C. Then a red line will appear for each.
2) Insert Six points along the bottom white line of the room between the red lines, then six more along the top.
3) Drag each point forming what you see in the diagram 3 above. Note that the back of the door is six blocks, that's how long each door is and will slide.
4) Tag the walls between 3 and 4 with a low tag of 6. Next low tag the wall between 9 and 10 with a 6. Now tag the red sector with a low tag of 16.
5) Drag point A over point 2. Drag point D over point 5. Drag point B over point 8. Drag point C over point 11. Now you want to drag the doors inner walls to the center, so that they will be on top of each other. Drag point 3 and 4 up. Drag point 9 and 10 down. (these points will not connect because they are white sector lines).

SHALLOW WATER FLOW (no current):
These steps will quickly show you how to place water or other liquids to the floor. This is only knee deep water with no water current to push you along. Seen in WH1Demo Level1 behind the player start position.

1- Create your sector
2- Apply your water texture(tile90) or slime(tile05) in 3D Mode using the [V] key. Make sure the cursor is pointed at the floor.
3- Change the water palette to Blue(PAL06) in 3D Mode with [ALT P] Keys. Make sure the cursor is pointed at the water texture on the floor.
4- Apply the following Sector Tags in 2D Mode. Make sure the cursor is on the water sector. Use [T] Key for Low Tags and [H] Key for High Tags.

80-89 FLOOR PANNING ( USE WITH LAVA, SLIME OR WATER )
0,84 flow north
0,80 flow south
0,86 flows west
0,82 flows east
0,81 flows northeast
0,83 flows southeast
0,85 flows southwest
0,87 flows northwest

SHALLOW WATER FALL FLOW (no current):
These steps will show you how to make a Water Fall with downward moving water. Seen in WH1Level1.

1- Create your Water sector by following to above instructions.
2- Now in 2D Mode divide the water with Red Lines, where you want a water fall.
3- Go into 3D Mode, and point your cursor at the section you want to raise or lower. Use [PGUP] and [PGDWN] to accomplish this.
4- Now set the wall textures that will be the water fall; While pointing at the wall with the cursor press the [V] key and select the water texture. Do this for each wall that remains.
5- In 2D Mode move the cursor to one of the Red Lines until it starts blinking. Tag the wall with High Tag 0 and Low Tag 1. Use the [T] Key for Low Tags and [H] Key for High Tags. This will tell the game to make the water "fall." Do this for each red wall that remains.

A BOBBING PLATFORM:
This can be used as a platform floating in water, or a floor obstacle for the player to transverse. Can also be used for Bobbing Lava.

1- In 2D Mode, Draw your sector.
2- While still in 2D Mode move the cursor inside the sector and use [ALT S] to change the white lines to red lines
3- In 3D Mode, use the [V] key to select your texture, such as a wood plank Tile#68
4- While still in 3D Mode, use [ALT P] Keys to set the palette to 0 (default)
5- In 3D Mode move the cursor inside your platform and assign a low tag of 10000 with the [T] key.

ROOM WITH TRAPS:
A pull chain (High Tag 2, Low Tag 1) is on a pillar that triggers an arrow trap (High Tag 2, Low Tag 91) on both the North and South walls (note the direction of the sprite traps, the stick is pointing the angle you want the arrow to fly.) This room is called EXAMPLE.MAP and can be viewed by loading it. (Note: This trap with pull chain does not function in WH2 v2.0c or v2.0g, but it should, now works in EGwhaven.)

ROOM CRUSH TRAPS:
Sector Low Tags from 1900 to 1999 are crush traps. The sector needs a pull chain or floor pad to activate it. If the Low Tag ends in 1, the floor goes up, if it ends in 2, the ceiling comes down. If it ends in 5, floor and ceiling both move to meet each other.

1900-1999 CRUSHING SECTORS
1900 Raise Floor to Ceiling becomes DOOR #7
1901 Raise Floor to Ceiling becomes BLOCK
1902 Lower Ceiling to Floor becomes BLOCK
1903 Raise Floor to Ceiling then DOWN PERPETUAL
1904 Lower Ceiling to Floor then UP PERPETUAL
1905 Floor and Ceiling MEET and becomes BLOCK
1906 Floor and Ceiling MEET then OPEN PERPETUAL
 

ROOM CRUSH TRAPS (Pull Chain):

1- In 2D Mode Create your sector/room.
2- In 2D Mode place a default sprite on the wall, preferable on the opposite side of the entrance to the room. Use the [S] key.
3- Now in 3D Mode point your cursor at the sprite and change it to the Pull Chain Sprite. Use the [V] key and select tile#370 and hit [ENTER].
4- While in 3D Mode, make the sprite Flat Flush against the wall with the [R] Key.
5- Go back to 2D Mode and move the cursor so its over the base of the sprite. Now assign a High Tag of your choice with [ALT H]. (make sure you didn't use the high tag anywhere else) Then assign a Low Tag with [ALT T], use 1.
6- While in 2D Mode assign the sector/room a High Tag equal to what you set the Pull Chain for with the [H] Key. Now assign the Low Tag with the [T] Key to 1902 to make the ceiling come down.

ROOM CRUSH TRAPS (Floor Pad):

1- In 2D Mode Create your sector/room.
2- Now while in 2D mode create a rectangle of White Wall Lines IN the room. Preferable on the opposite side of the entrance to the room.
3- Now move the cursor to inside that rectangle you just created, and change the walls to Red Lines with [ALT S].
4- While still in 2D Mode, assign the Red Wall Sector a High Tag of your choice with the [H] Key. (make sure you didn't use the high tag anywhere else) Then assign a Low Tag with the [T] Key, use 1.
5- Still in 2D Mode, assign the Room Sector with a High Tag equal to what you set the Red Wall Sector too with the [H] Key. Then assign a Low Tag with the [T] Key, use 1901 to make the floor rise.

A PROPER BOW SPRITE PICK-UP:
To create a proper bow you must use two sprites of the same tile(#1775). Then Flip one of the sprites and stack it onto the other sprite. Seen in WH1Level2 and WH2Level13.

1- In 2D Mode place a sprite down with the [S] Key. Use the [B] Key to make it non-blocking.
2- While in 2D Mode place another sprite down with the [S] Key. Use the [B] Key to make it non-blocking.
3- Goto 3D Mode and move the cursor over one of the sprites and use the [V] key to pick tile#1775
4- While in 3D Mode, move the cursor over the other default sprite and use the [V] key to pick tile#1775
5- Still in 3D Mode, Flip one of the Bow Sprites while having the cursor on it, use the [F] key, hit it twice.
6- Go into 2D Mode and rotate the stick of ONE sprite one notch, use the < or > Keys.
7- While in 2D Mode, stack the sprites on top of each other.
8- Go back to 3D Mode and move the one of the Bow sprites up; While holding the (LMB) and [PGUP] until the handles of the Bow are where you want them.

A STATUE:
A Statue is fairly easy. You pick a frame of a Creature you like to have, then apply a grayscale palette color to make it look like stone. Just don't use the first frame of the Creature or it will place a combat ready enemy in the game. Seen in WH2Level1.

1- In 2D Mode place a sprite with the [S] Key.
2- Go into 3D Mode and use the [V] Key to select a Creature, such as Lava Fiend Tile#778 (Don't use the first frame)
3- Use [ALT P] to set the palette to 8 on the Creature.

A BAT CAVE:
This cave spawns flying Bats. Seen in WH1Level1 near the beginning.  You can also use a Bat dropping (Tile#364) as seen in WH1 to spawn the Bats, no need for a cave.

1- In 2D Mode, insert two points on a wall.
2- Create a rectangle with all the points.
3- Goto 3D Mode and raise the floor with [PAGEUP] to where you want the bottom of the cave to be.
4- Lower the top of the cave with [PAGEDOWN] until its where you want it.
5- In 2D Mode place a sprite and set it back from the edge slightly of the opening.
6- Rotate the sprite so the stick is facing out of the cave, towards player with the [<][>] Keys.
6- Make the sprite non-blocking with the [B] Key. It will turn blue.
7- In 3D Mode change the sprite to a square grate tile#490 with the [V] Key.
8- Change the sprite to Flat with the [R] Key, hit it twice.
9- In 2D Mode Tag the sprite a High Tag of 83 and Low Tag of 0 with [ALT T] and [ALT H] Keys.
10- Tag the Cave sector High Tag 83, and Low Tag 4000 with the [H] and [T] Keys.
11- Create a full Red Sector or floor plate. (the sector you want the player to be in to activate the bats)
12- Now Tag the Activating Red Sector to High Tag 83, Low Tag 1.

A SPRITE LIFT:
It lowers or raises the player via the spacebar. This is an advanced construction, it may become difficult. This type of Lift is seen in WH1Level1 and another type in WH1Level4. 1800-1899 MANUAL ELEVATOR. You should end the sprite tags in 0 for a down lift, 1 for an up lift; only 1800, 1810, 1820, and 1801, 1811, 1821 appear to be valid for the sprites, despite the sector tag being a range. These Low Tags may work for a sector but I have not tested them.

  PART 1: Preparing the Room and Sprites

1- In 2D Mode, create your sector.
2- In 3D Mode, raise the ceiling and lower the floor so that it's at least tall enough to require a Lift.
3- In 2D Mode, place five sprites down that you will be building the Lift with.
4- In 3D Mode, change each sprite to a square grate tile#490. With the [V] Key.
5- In 2D Mode, tag three of the sprites that will be the walls of the lift; 0,1800. Use [ALT T] Keys.
6- While still in 2D Mode, tag the ceiling sprite 0,1820 and the bottom sprite 0,1810. Use [ALT T] Keys.
7- In 3D Mode, change the alignment of the wall sprites to flat with the [R] Key twice.
8- Now change the alignment of the top and bottom of the Lift sprites to parallel with the [R] Key, three times.

  PART 2: Forming the Top and Bottom of the Lift

1- In 2D Mode, move the bottom sprite to where you want it, usually close to the adjacent sectors doorway.
2- In 3D Mode, use [PAGEUP] to raise it to the adjacent sectors floor height.
3- In 2D Mode, move the top spite on top of the bottom sprite, stacking it.
4- In 3D Mode, use [PAGEUP] to raise it to NEAR the floor sprite height.
5- Next, raise it 32 [PAGEUP] Key presses. So that's how tall your Lift will be, from bottom to top.

  PART 3: Forming the Walls of the Lift

1- In 2D Mode, move the Wall sprites close together, two blocks on Grid 3.
3- In 3D Mode move the Wall sprites to form a tall box, you'll have to use [PAGEUP] and [PAGEDOWN] to get the sprites where you want them. You may need to re-enter 2D Mode to rotate the sprites stick so the walls are lined up correctly.
4- Now you'll have to stretch the walls of the Lift so that they form a complete box. Using the [NUMERIC 2 and 8] Keys.

  PART 4: Creating a Red Sector
The up movement is relative to ceiling height of the sector, not starting position of the lift. It's reliant on ceiling height.

1- In 2D Mode create a Red Sector around the Lift, make it larger than the Lift itself.
2- In 3D Mode raise the ceiling of the Red Sector directly above the Lift 21z Key Presses, [PAGEUP]. So that the Red Sector ceiling is higher than the surrounding ceiling.
3- Next, Raise the floor in the Red Sector a few times to create a base for the Lift to set on when its in the full down position.

SPRITE SWINGING DOOR:
This type of door is seen in WH1 Level1 and is opened by the player with the spacebar.
LOWTAG 80 FOR IRONBARS(3000) OR SPRITEDOOR , HITAG IS 1-2 SWING DIRECTION.
For more sprite doors/gates see the SPRITE and TILE NUMBER Section.


1- In 2D Mode, build a red rectangle sector inside a passage way.
2- Tag the sector 0,3000.
3- Place two sprites down and at either end of the rectangle.
4- Go into 3D Mode and change them too SWINGGATE Tile#477 and SWINGGATE2 Tile#478
5- In 2D Mode, rotate them so one stick is pointing opposite the other. Like one north one south. Check in 3D Mode to see if the gates are rotated in the closed position. If not go back to 2D Mode and rotate.
6- In 2D Mode Tag one gate 1,80 and the other 2,80. The gates when play tested should open the way you want them too. If not switch the tags around.

A SPAWNING FIREBALL TRAP:
This type of trap is seen in WH1 Level1 and is activated by sector or floor plate. It an auto-aim trap.

1- In 2D Mode create your room.
2- Give the room a High Tag that your not using anywhere else. Capstone used values like 40,47,48 and 49. This will be your activating sector. You can place the activating sector or floor plate anywhere really. Usually before you enter the room so the fireball trap has a chance to fire at a fast moving player.
3- Place a sprite, Give it a High Tag equal to your activating sector.
4- In 3D Mode change the sprite too a SPAWNFIREBALL Tile#1717 and change to alignment to flat with [R].
5- Raise the Sprite to where you want it.
6- In 2D Mode place it on the wall, and rotate the stick so it points into the room.
7- Make it non-blocking if its low enough to where the player will run into it.

SPRITE BRIDGE:
This type of bridge is seen in WH1L1 over the battle area in the beginning.

1- In 2D Mode lay down your sprites with the [S] Key in the expanse. Put down as many as you need.
2- In 3D Mode change each sprite to a SPACEPLANK (tile271) with the [V] Key.
3- While still in 3D Mode, change the alignment of the sprites to Floor Aligned with the [R] Key.
4- Use [PAGEUP] to raise each of the sprites into position.
5- Use [numeric keyboard 2,4,6 or 8] to stretch or shrink the sprite to best fit in the expanse.
6- In 2D Mode change the position of the sprites so they are not clipping the walls at the end of each plank.
 

REVOLVING SECTOR:
This is fairly simple example. The range for Low Tags are 2100-2199. Best used on red sectors, but can be used anywhere. Not sure what the range actually changes.

1- In 2D Mode create a small Red Sector.
2- Give it a Low Tag of 2101 with the [T] Key.
3- In 3D Mode, raise the Red Sector a few groups up with the [PAGEUP] Key.
4- Now so the top texture rotates with the Red Walls, press the [R] on the top.
 

ENCHANTED WELL:
These Wells are seen in a few different forms in WH2, L2, L5, L7 and L13. The Well itself uses the CONE Tile 449 as a sprite that generates the blue sparks and gives the sector its in a low tag of 50 automatically. It's effectively making that sector a Weapon Enchanting area. There is normally a circular pond created with a Floor Mirror Tile 182 used to represent a reflective water effect. Most have a shrine construction around them. The shrine consists mostly of Well Wall Tile 355 set to a PAL of 6. Even blue parallaxing skies are used on occasion, Tile 210.
To give a Well more than one usage, High Tag the cone sprite 9 for two uses, 10 for three uses, 11 for four uses, 12 will give fives uses etc...

X PANNING WALL:
You place a sector low tag of 11 like any other and all the walls in that sector will scroll from right to left. Speed and Direction appear to be hard coded.

ELEVATORS:
These Elevators I haven't seen used in WH2, Capstone seemed to have used rising sectors instead of these. But a Low Tag of 1000 produces a PLATFORM ELEVATOR and a Low Tag of 1003 produces a BOX ELEVATOR; Must be activated with a floor pressure plate, they rise to floor height once, and fast. They both seem to do the same thing...

VERTICAL SPLIT DOOR:
This is something else I haven't seen used by Capstone. Apparently left over from WH1, don't even know if the code is complete. But a Low Tag of 9 produces a VER SPLIT DOOR. I Don't know how to construct it but placing the low tag seems to do something, a bit of wall morphing...

OVERLAPPING SECTORS:
There are a few examples of Overlapping sectors used in WH1 and WHII. They represent spiral staircases that at times have been made for three tiers up and down with doorways that allow the player to enter each floor. Also there where a few passage ways made above and below the current level that usually went clear across the map. I haven't at this time constructed any so I don't have any build instructions.
