level list in editor

Post by Martijn »

How about a level list in the level editor? So you can see all levels from the levelsets with their titles? Very useful to switch quickly between level 1 and 50 for example.

The titles would be handy for other people besides the author.

But for speed? Did you know you can right click all R&D's numerical buttons to skip 10? I could get to 50 using the right click faster than selecting from a list ;-)

That is undocumented documentation at its best :) (although I figured out for a long time ago, don't remember exactly when though)
Speaking of that... it's possible to skip 5 using both mouse buttons or the middle mouse button.

Oops, yes. I think I used this first in "Mirror Magic" in 1987 in the Amiga version, and added "skip 5 using middle mouse button" in 1994 in the Unix version. Later, R'n'D inherited this behaviour.

As many things, this should probably indeed be documented somewhere... :-)
